ConoHa VPS by GMO Managed Packs


(*1) A company that provides operation, maintenance, and monitoring of servers, networks, and other systems used by customers.

(*2) As of June 16, 2025.


Background of Provision

With the dramatic development of cloud technology, the use of cloud servers is increasing, mainly for services provided by overseas companies. On the other hand, the cost of said cloud servers and on-premise in-house servers facing rising power costs are soaring due to the impact of the yen's depreciation, which has been continuing since 2021. In addition, the shortage of infrastructure engineers who are responsible for server operations is becoming more serious (*3), and the operational cost burden is increasing. While there is a growing interest in security measures in the face of increasingly sophisticated cyber attacks and phishing scams, there is also a lack of know-how and human resources to implement sufficient measures.


ConoHa VPS by GMO Managed Pack" is a service that can solve all these problems at once. Through the provision of this service, we will contribute to the reduction of server operation burdens for many companies.

Two types of fees are available: an hourly fee type, which allows use by the hour, and the "Collective Toku" service, which offers a discount rate for long-term contracts, so you can use the service when you need it at a minimal cost.

(*4)NVMe SSDs are storage devices with extremely fast data read/write speeds, and since they use NVMe, a communication protocol optimized for SSDs, access is possible with lower latency and higher throughput than with conventional SATA SSDs.

(*5)By distributing and storing data across multiple nodes, it prevents data loss in the unlikely event of a hardware failure.

(*6) In the unlikely event of a physical failure of the host server housing the virtual server, the environment is automatically migrated to another host server to create a similar environment. This minimizes the impact of a failure and ensures stable server operations.
