Toshiba Digital Solutions Corporation (Toshiba) has announced the global launch of GridDB Cloud, its cloud-based service for managing IoT and the high frequency generation of large volumes of big data. The service is now available to customers in 26 countries and regions around the world.
Companies around the world are focusing on digital transformation (DX) as a means to create new business opportunities. The foundation of DX promotion is data.

Until now, the service has been available only in Japan, but Toshiba has responded to growing global DX promotion by bringing GridDB Cloud into international markets.

- Reduced initial setup times and costs for servers, storage, and other components necessary for database operation.
