TOKYO -- IBM Japan has launched a new contents production infrastructure service, the company announced on Thursday at the Tokyo Anime Fair.

The service, which started on March 27, allows clients to access IBM's Deep Computing Capacity on Demand (DCCoD) Center, where they can use high-end data storage, processing, back-up and security hardware and software when and how they need it, saving them the cost of buying the entire infrastructure themselves.

Among the companies joining what IBM calls its "contents production infrastructure community" are Imagica, Kajima Construction, Autodesk, Wacom, Crypton Future Media and Microsoft. The Tokyo Anime Center is serving the community as an advisor. The group's aim is to boost Japan's strength in pic, game, toon and other contents production.
