Otava,
a global leader in secure, compliant cloud services for enterprise and
channel partners, was selected by AISIN
World Corp. of America (AISIN), a Tier One developer and producer of
automotive components and systems, to provide hybrid
cloud and data
protection services to support its future growth strategy.
AISIN, a Fortune Global 500 company, supplies everything from electrical
to mechanical systems for major international automobile manufacturers
including Toyota, General Motors and Volvo. AISIN customers and
suppliers depend on AISIN’s IT infrastructure, ranging from
manufacturing plants that are fully integrated into the AISIN
environment to partners that manage their environment and connect to
AISIN systems.
“When we evaluated providers to meet our hybrid cloud needs, the most
important factors were reliability, recoverability, responsiveness, with
consistent communications providing AISIN the ability to communicate
with our end users in real-time,” said Makoto Niimi, IT General Manager
for AISIN. “The migration to Otava went like clockwork, and we now have
real-time access to information that allows us to be transparent and
responsive to our customers, who have indicated they’re experiencing a
marked improvement in performance.”
Otava’s
hybrid cloud combines the flexibility of the public cloud with the
data control and security of the private cloud. By moving to Otava’s
managed cloud, AISIN expanded its data storage capacity, strengthened
its overall network reliability and increased the efficiency of meeting regulatory
requirements domestically and globally.
“Otava is honored to have been selected by AISIN to provide IT
infrastructure in our secure data
centers; our redundancy, disaster recovery and backup services
provide them with the reliable support they needed to keep our
operations up and running consistently and smoothly around the clock,”
said Brad
Cheedle, CEO of Otava. “With Otava protecting their data and
providing infrastructure support, AISIN can focus internally on building
servers and managing the applications that are critical to their clients
and their near-term expansion plans.”

suite of secure and compliant IT services, including fully managed
