PSPINC’s Data Center Strategy for Secure and High-Speed Web Hosting

 

PSPINC operates its own data centers to provide stable web hosting and email services, prioritizing data security and optimal access speed. The company follows these strategic approaches:

 

 1. Core Data Center Policies

 

 ① U.S.-Based Data Center Operations  
PSPINC’s primary data center is located in Seattle, Washington, ensuring compliance with strict U.S. data protection standards.

 

Key Features:  
- Fully managed by PSPINC, eliminating dependency on third-party providers.  
- Advanced backup systems with data mirroring and regular backups.  
- 24/7 monitoring to prevent security breaches and system failures.  
- HIPAA-compliant secure web messaging services for healthcare-related communication.  

 

 ② Consideration of a Japan-Based Data Center  
PSPINC is exploring the possibility of setting up a data center in Japan to improve access speed. However, due to security concerns, the expansion decision is being approached cautiously.

 

 2. Why PSPINC Avoids Chinese Data Centers  

 

To ensure data security, PSPINC does not consider using Chinese-affiliated data centers, avoiding risks such as:  

 

- Data sovereignty issues: Chinese laws (e.g., National Intelligence Law) may allow government access to stored data.  
- Security vulnerabilities: Potential risks of backdoors or malware in China-based servers.  
- Legal compliance risks: Using Chinese data centers in Japan might conflict with APPI (Japan's Personal Information Protection Law) and international standards.  

 

Since identifying Chinese-owned data centers can be challenging, PSPINC remains cautious about expanding to Japan and continues to prioritize its U.S.-based data centers.

 

 3. Solutions for Faster Access in Japan  

 

To enhance performance for Japanese users, PSPINC implements the following measures:

 

 ① CDN (Content Delivery Network) Usage  
By utilizing CDN technology, PSPINC routes Japanese access requests to the nearest server, improving response speed.

 

 ② High-Speed DNS Server Deployment  
Optimized DNS infrastructure helps reduce website loading times for Japan-based users.

 

 ③ Exploring Trusted Japanese Cloud Partnerships  
PSPINC is considering partnerships with highly reliable Japanese cloud providers to maintain data security while improving access speed.

 

 Commitment to Security and Performance  
PSPINC remains dedicated to balancing security and access speed, continuously evolving its data center strategy to ensure customer trust and satisfaction.
