According to a press release by Hitachi Sunway, a large number of customers from the ASEAN markets are demanding securely managed web services and Hitachi has inked the deal with ZeroStack to fulfil those demands as the company has expertise in hosting infrastructure for Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solutions.

Reportedly, the financial details of the deal and the time estimates of the ensuing development process are yet to be released.
