IT Consulting
Internet business strategy, infrastructure planning, and migration advisory for companies that want more control over their technology.
Planning Your Internet Business
Growing an internet business means dealing with domain management, interconnection agreements, IP allocation, bandwidth planning, and a web of networking decisions that compound as you scale. We've spent 14 years working through these problems ourselves. Our consulting helps you avoid the expensive mistakes and get the technical foundations right from the start.
Network Architecture That Scales
Whether you're setting up your first data center interconnection or redesigning a multi-site network, we draw on hands-on routing experience. We design BGP routing policies, plan upstream diversity, and optimize traffic flow, drawing from our own experience operating an autonomous network across JPNIC and RIPE NCC regions.
Break Free from Cloud Dependency
Cloud providers promise cost savings and easy scaling, but many businesses discover the reality can include rising bills, vendor lock-in, and limited control over performance. We help you evaluate whether on-premises or hybrid infrastructure would serve you better, with detailed cost comparisons and migration planning.
Review Your Network Architecture
Network problems often reveal weaknesses in the underlying architecture. We review your current setup and identify single points of failure, bandwidth bottlenecks, and cost savings you might be missing. Our audit covers routing configuration, upstream diversity, DNS infrastructure, and security posture. You receive a concise report with prioritized recommendations.

FAQ
What is Unclouding?
Unclouding is the process of migrating workloads from cloud providers to on-premises or hybrid infrastructure, typically to reduce costs, improve performance, or regain control over your systems.
How long does an infrastructure assessment take?
An initial assessment typically takes 1-2 weeks, including a review of your current setup, cost analysis, and a recommendation report with migration options.
Do you work with companies outside Japan?
Yes. We serve clients internationally with trilingual support in Japanese, English, and Chinese.
What size companies do you typically work with?
Businesses of all sizes, from startups building their first server environment to established ISPs optimizing their backbone. The common thread is they need someone who understands infrastructure at a technical level.
Do you do one-time projects or ongoing engagements?
Both. Some clients need a one-time network audit or migration plan. Others keep us on retainer for ongoing infrastructure advice and troubleshooting.
Can you work with our existing vendors and providers?
Yes. We're vendor-neutral and work alongside your current providers, whether that's AWS, a local ISP, or a colo facility. We advise on what's best for you, not what earns us a referral fee.
