Keyaki

What Keyaki does

Keyaki (KEYAKI株式会社) is a Japanese server hardware manufacturer founded in June 2021 and headquartered in Kawaguchi, Saitama Prefecture. The company designs, assembles, and sells enterprise servers, storage systems, and network switches organized under three sub-brands — EdServer (general-purpose, data-center, and GPU lines), EdStor (all-flash and distributed storage), and EdSwitch (modular backbone, high-density access, and data-center switches). Its product portfolio spans entry-level tower servers priced from 158,000 JPY up to 6U GPU servers built around AMD EPYC 9004/9005, Intel Xeon Scalable, NVIDIA HGX H100, and AMD Instinct MI300X platforms.

Keyaki's most differentiated technical offering is its ALL IN ONE liquid-immersion AI server system, introduced in October 2025 in partnership with Japanese Form Service and ENEOS. The system integrates Keyaki servers with ICEraQ immersion cooling units and ENEOS IX dielectric cooling fluid, achieving an mPUE of 1.03–1.04 and reducing power consumption by up to 45% versus air-cooled systems. The company also offers InManage, a proprietary server management tool, and a 660 sqm kitting center with 1600A power capacity for hardware assembly, configuration, aging tests, and on-site installation.

The business model combines one-time hardware sales (entry servers to multi-million-yen AI server configurations), professional services (kitting, delivery, installation, design consulting), and recurring maintenance contracts with optional extended warranties up to 10 years. Keyaki sells primarily through direct enterprise field sales, supported by a channel partnership with KSG株式会社 and co-marketing alliances with InfiniCloud for VMware-to-Proxmox migration. Customer focus areas include AI/ML and research institutions, enterprise data centers, broadcasters, and Japanese enterprises migrating away from VMware virtualization. Marketing is concentrated in industry events (Inter BEE, NexTech Week, EdgeTech+, Interop Tokyo, AMD Advancing AI & HPC Japan) and free educational seminars. Revenue, headcount, and external funding figures are not publicly disclosed; the company operates on a 100M JPY founding capital base with no confirmed VC/PE investment.

Broad incumbents

• Lenovo: Global server OEM (ThinkSystem line, including SR670/SR675 V3 GPU servers) with strong APAC distribution competing against KEYAKI on price/performance in enterprise and AI workloads.
• Dell Technologies: Global incumbent in enterprise servers (PowerEdge) including the PowerEdge XE9680/XE8640 GPU servers that compete directly with KEYAKI's HGX H100 / MI300X systems across Japanese enterprise accounts.
• Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE): Global incumbent with ProLiant servers, Cray HPC systems, and HPE Private Cloud solutions that overlap directly with KEYAKI's general-purpose, GPU, and virtualization offerings in the Japanese market.

Others

• Wiwynn: Taiwan-based ODM specializing in hyperscale and AI/cloud server platforms (including Microsoft Azure OpenAI infrastructure), illustrating the scale and vertical integration that could eventually encroach on KEYAKI's positioning.
• Quanta Computer: Taiwan-based ODM server manufacturer that supplies hyperscaler-grade GPU servers globally and represents the upstream volume competitor whose pricing sets the floor for systems integrators like KEYAKI.

Emerging players

• NVIDIA (DGX Systems): NVIDIA's DGX H100/B200 reference systems and HGX-based designs establish the performance and integration benchmark that KEYAKI's G-series GPU servers (KVR620F1B-G1) must match or differentiate against.
