It is the largest large-scale data center in JapanIshikari Data CenterAt the same time as the opening of the first service "Sakura's cloudIt seems to be available from 15:00 on November 15, 2011. Because the fee structure can be settled at the daily rate (about one-twentieth of the monthly amount) based on the monthly fee, it is quite easy to know how much it should be paid in advance.

The server plan list looks something like this.


Virtual 1 Core Memory 2 GB Plan 1 to 12 Virtual Core Memory 128 GB Plan 13 There are not only scale out to increase the number of servers but also to scale up to increase server specifications, It is quite good to solve with just. The charge of the internet line is included in the server, and there is no traffic accounting (usage-based billing) at all. In addition, the internet line is 100 Mbps, the global IP address (IPv4) assigned to the server is fixed, correspondence to IPv6 is currently under consideration.

In addition, the network plan list for those who want to change the network is like this.


Regarding router + switch and additional IP address, it is scheduled to be released at the end of November after service provision is started, it is also possible to disconnect the standard Internet line and make it a local only connection.

You can also select the image of the OS from the following. However, be careful that the disk capacity when using public templates is fixed at 20 GB.

Public template / installation ISO image list


By default, storage with only 20 GB can be expanded as follows. If you create a snapshot of the disk (backup of the disk image), you can write back the contents of the disk to the snapshot at any time, and from the snapshot you can also create a private template (a template for yourself, yourself) If you can use it to create a new server, you can easily make a duplicate of the running server.

Storage plan list


About the storage, initially only block storage will be offered, but it is currently under consideration to offer cloud storage with expandable capacity.

Also, the control panel relationship is as follows.

Possible operation list


YouTube has a movie that explains the actual operation and you can see what you can do.

Flow from setting of new server to completion of creation on control panel


Network connection of created server. Map display and connection to switch


Create a snapshot of the disk and roll back with the snapshot


Save the snapshot as a template and create a server based on the template


Set up three servers on multiple controllers on the control panel using switches


Added a gateway server and switch to the configuration in the above movie, changed to 4 switch configuration of multiple switches


In addition, API is also offered in the future, and it is expected that we will expand public templates, add ISO image uploading function, provide appliances such as load balancer, and reverse correspondence of IP address.
