CLARA ONLINE

Founded in May 1997 by Kentaro Iemori, CLARA ONLINE Inc. began as a server hosting service and has since evolved into a multifaceted technology company. The company is headquartered in Tokyo, with additional locations in Nagoya, Beijing, Singapore, Taipei, Seoul, and Hong Kong.

CLARA ONLINE operates through three main business segments: cloud solutions, business consulting, and HR solutions. The cloud integration division provides comprehensive IT infrastructure services, including design, construction, migration, and 24/7 monitoring and operational support for on-premise, public cloud (such as AWS, Azure, and Alibaba Cloud), and hybrid cloud environments. A key offering is their 'Clara Cloud' service, which utilizes Nutanix's hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) on a subscription basis, bundling hardware, licenses, and management into a monthly fee.

The consulting division specializes in supporting Japanese and Chinese businesses. It offers a one-stop service for companies looking to enter the Chinese market, covering everything from market research and strategy development to legal advice and execution. The company employs consultants with entrepreneurial experience in both Japan and China, as well as Chinese lawyers, to provide expert guidance. The HR solutions segment focuses on talent acquisition, particularly for roles requiring Japanese-Chinese bilingual capabilities, to support clients' business expansion.
