Launch announcement for the IIJA Log Management Service

IIJ America announced the launch of IIJA Log Management Service in the U.S. today.

Background

The importance of log management has been recognized for some time, and organizations have been aware of the challenges involved in implementing effective log management practices.

In particular, the log retention periods for cloud services, which are becoming increasingly popular, often vary and the log location is difficult to track. This makes it challenging to quickly search for and download logs when needed.

Additionally, with the use of multiple services and applications, it can be difficult to centrally search logs and perform quick investigation and analysis. Furthermore, the setup and operation of log management tools can be complex, preventing organizations to get started with log management.

In response to these challenges, IIJ America has developed and launched IIJA Log Management Service that collects, centrally stores, and visualizes logs from multiple services and solutions in the cloud for extended periods.

IIJA Log Management Service offers a range of compelling benefits, including:

1. Security

Additionally, it can be used to empower organizations to identify opportunities for business improvement and optimization.
