Suzuyo System Technology Adopts Fileforce, Optimizing File Server Operating Costs to About One-Sixth

Fileforce Inc. announced that Suzuyo System Technology Co., Ltd. has adopted “Fileforce” and started full-scale operation. The company had been running a Windows file server environment in the cloud and began reviewing its file infrastructure after an increase in virtual infrastructure licensing costs. By introducing Fileforce, Suzuyo System Technology resolved issues such as increasingly complex access permission management and limits in backup operations, optimized operating costs to about one-sixth, eliminated the need for backup operations, and significantly reduced inquiries. For many years, Suzuyo System Technology had used Windows servers built in the cloud as file servers. However, after a price increase was announced for virtual infrastructure licenses, the company began reviewing its file infrastructure from the perspective of future cost structure and operational sustainability. At the same time, organizational expansion and policy changes made access permission management more complex. Growing storage volume meant backups took an entire day, and recovery after accidental deletion imposed a heavy operational burden. During personnel transfer periods, inquiries related to permission changes, mistaken file moves, and storage shortages were concentrated, and large-scale transfers could take two to three days to handle. Key reasons for selecting Fileforce included its flexible version file function, which supports not only restoration of past versions but also saving under a different name and local downloads; enhanced search capability through IntelliSearch™, which can search across both file names and file contents while operating quickly even in large-scale environments; and unchanged usability, allowing users to work through Windows Explorer in a way similar to conventional file servers, making company-wide adoption easier. The reported benefits include reducing operating costs to about one-sixth, completely eliminating backup operations and related tasks such as checks and failure handling, sharply reducing post-deployment inquiries, lowering operational workload, enabling secure access from outside the company, and allowing quick confirmation of operation history during audits and troubleshooting through logs and the security center. Fileforce said it will continue supporting Suzuyo System Technology and other Fileforce customers so they can use and manage files with greater confidence. Fileforce is a Japan-made cloud file server with more than 25,000 corporate users, including OEM services, under the mission of “empowering every organization through the evolution of work.”
