D-Suite Service
D-Suite is a system infrastructure offering that includes a shared multi-cloud platform. It supports public cloud operations by providing three core functions and integrates with existing Equinix environments.
24/7 Operations Monitoring Service
Monitoring data from your public cloud environment, along with alerts from managed monitoring services, are aggregated into the shared multi-cloud platform. These are continuously monitored and operated by the Daiwa Institute of Research Operations Center, ensuring uninterrupted service 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Financial-Grade Security Services
A suite of security functions essential for cloud-based system operations is provided, including antivirus protection, anomaly detection, behavioral analysis, privileged ID management, and security configuration audits. The operational environment is designed to meet stringent industry standards and is widely adopted by financial institutions.
Flexible Multi-Cloud Connectivity Network
The network hub provides stable and scalable connectivity, enabling the integration of public cloud services and bandwidth expansion as needed. In addition to infrastructure services, D-Suite delivers end-to-end support that includes system architecture design, migration, deployment, operations, and workforce training.
