The Japanese Linux Pioneers

img_office

We introduced the fledgling Linux operating system to Japan in 1993 and have never looked back. We've gained a sterling reputation for our selection of high quality servers, storage, network, and security devices. Companies like KDDI (telecom), HitachiSoft (software), Yomiuri (news), Shimizu (construction) and many others depend on us every day. Since 2007, through our US subsidiary in San Jose, CA, we have been selling to North American customers. More about Plat'Home.
