Press Release

TmaxSoft Japan

TmaxSoft Japan (CEO: Hayazumi Mitsuyoshi, HQ: Tokyo Minato District) announced its participation in the Red Hat OSS Integration Center (OSS IC). In September of 2013, Red Hat (CEO: Hirokawa Yuzi, HQ: Tokyo Shibuya District) opened the OSS IC to provide support to companies migrating to a new IT infrastructure and cloud environment such as OpenStack. Members of the OSS IC include major Japanese hardware, software, and system integration companies. TmaxSoft Japan is the 46^th member of the OSS IC.

In Japan, demand is increasing for more efficient methods to implement a back-end system with a front end system, which has been the focus of recent IT investments.

In response to this demand, Red Hat established the OSS Integration Center to facilitate the migration of client systems to new IT infrastructures and cloud environments that utilize open source software such as JBoss middleware and Red Hat Enterprise Linux OS. Working with partner companies, the OSS IC prepares existing client company systems for cloud under the banner of “IT modernization”. Through the OSS IC, Red Hat has been involved in over 60 projects with its partner companies.

  As a new partner, TmaxSoft contributes to the implementation of low-cost open platforms that prevent vendor lock-in by combining Tibero, an Oracle compatible RDBMS that provides database infrastructure of large-scale enterprise systems, with Red Hat JBoss Web Server, which supports large-scale web sites and light-weight web applications.

TmaxSoft Japan’s Hayazumi Mitsuyoshi stated, “It is an honor to be a partner of the Red Hat OSS Integration Center. Since the establishment of TmaxSoft Japan in July 2000, TmaxSoft has released products, such as OpenFrame, a rehosting solution, with the motto of ‘Redeveloping Japan’s IT infrastructure by using open systems as the foundation.' We are happy that Tibero, which was released in Japan in February 2012, is recognized as a suitable solution for Red Hat’s business goals. We will strive to continuously build and expand open systems through our affiliation with Red Hat.”

By cooperating with Red Hat, TmaxSoft plans to provide workshops, seminars, consultations, and visits, as well as provide detailed migration and technical support to clients interested in migrating current systems to an open environment at an affordable cost

Official Support from Red Hat

“Red Hat welcomes TmaxSoft Japan’s participation in the OSS IC. Red Hat’s OSS IC has built an environment suitable for open and cloud environments through IT modernization including IaaS, PaaS, application programs, development, and maintenance. This reduces operating costs as well as prevents vendor lock-in. This freedom allows companies to quickly respond to changes in the management environment and effectively utilize existing assets. Furthermore, by building a virtual database using Red Hat JBoss Data Virtualization, we are realizing the last mile of IT modernization, and we believe that TmaxSoft Japan’s Tibero will be a strategically important product.”

-Aoki Kunio, Director of Red Hat OSS Integration Center
