PIOLINK (CEO: Young C. Cho, www.PIOLINK.com)’s TiFRONT Cloud Security Switch is in the spotlight as its sales grew twice in the Japanese market last year. TiFRONT Cloud Security Switch supports a higher level of customer service with easier and more convenient switch management (based on the cloud hosting method) and managed security service features

PIOLINK entered the Japanese market with its products for IT management services. As the islands stretch from Northeast to Southwest for thousands of kilometers, it takes a long time to take a business trip. Moreover, management costs are high because the labor costs and transportation expanses are expensive. As a result, IT management services are popular for small-sized business owners or companies which are located far from major cities.

“Our customers were highly satisfied with monthly security reports and quick troubleshooting,” says the staff from PIOLINK branch in Japan, “It was because they did not have to pay for additional security devices to enjoy the managed security services and security services,” and adds “Most of the time, they could prevent bigger problems on their computers by getting an automatic blocking alarm while not noticing the existence of malicious traffic such as ransomware. The customers in the countryside were satisfied as they did not have to wait for hours for engineers to fix problems on their networks.”

PIOLINK expects 30% or more increase in their sales in Japan.
