History

Plat'Home Co., Ltd. started in 1993 as the first company to bring Linux as well as BSD to Japan. In 1996 Plat'Home introduced the first server line under its own brand.

The year 2000 saw two important changes, first Plat'Home attained a new market by introducing the first model of its successful MicroServer line, the OpenBlockS, second by going public at the Tokyo Stock Exchange Mothers market.

In 2005 the Plat'Home head office moved into Akihabara Daibiru Building, the new center of the Japanese IT industry. As part of the Akihabara Crossfield, Plat'Home is an active member of the academic-industrial partnership that has become a driving force behind the recent developments. As the first fruit of the cooperation, Plat'Home has become the First Partner for SoftEther, developer of the revolutionary VPN software PacketiX VPN.

Until now, Plat'Home has been thriving by bringing technology to Japan, and in 2007 it was decided to also go the other direction. Plat'Home opened its first foreign subsidiary in San Jose, USA, to bring Japanese IT products to foreign markets.
