c9 Flex-N is the first full stack cloud service in Japan for Zadara and will provide BroadBand Tower's customers with flexible, open cloud environments for all service layers, from hardware-as-a-service (HaaS), infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) to software-as-a-service (SaaS). Powered by Zadara Edge Cloud, c9 Flex-N supports hybrid and/or multi-cloud environments allowing customer workloads to be moved to and from the platform without vendor lock-in or long-term commitments; complete with 24/7/365 support and best-in class SLA guarantees. c9 Flex-N, powered by Zadara, delivers that infrastructure on a true utility consumption model.

"BroadBand Tower's goal is to enable our customers to store, manage and retrieve their data quickly and efficiently, and allow them to focus on innovating, and growing their businesses," said Hiroshi Fujiwara, Ph.D. Chairman, President & Chief Executive Officer of BroadBand Tower.

Zadara Edge Cloud utilizes powerful enterprise-grade hardware and software infrastructure to deliver services that are flexible, reliable, and scalable, allowing service providers like BroadBand Tower to provision on-demand compute, networking, and storage services with simple and transparent ‘pay-as-you-go' OpEx pricing.
