ACTAPIO, INC.

What ACTAPIO, INC. does

Actapio, Inc. is a private US-incorporated company and a 100% subsidiary of LY Corporation that operates a data center in Washington State. The facility is powered by low-cost, clean hydroelectric energy, giving Actapio a structural electricity-cost advantage relative to data center operations in Japan. From this base, the company delivers cloud computing, computer system rentals, computer server rentals, and application service provider (ASP) solutions to enterprise infrastructure customers. All hardware operations at the data center are managed using MOXSPEC, a 100% open-source framework for running hardware operations at scale.

Beyond infrastructure services, Actapio runs a Business Acceleration Services line that targets US startups seeking to enter the Japanese market. Through consulting, advertising advice, and localization support, the company adapts US business models for Japan, acting as a cross-border bridge that leverages its parent LY Corporation's domestic market position and partnerships. This dual focus — physical infrastructure plus professional services — positions Actapio as both a niche cloud/colo provider and a Japan-market-entry enabler.

The revenue model combines recurring subscription revenue from cloud, server rental, and ASP contracts with project-based professional services fees from business acceleration engagements. The go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales for infrastructure and direct consulting for the Japan-entry line. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, no revenue or headcount figures are available, and customer logos are not named, leaving the subsidiary's scale and concentration profile opaque despite the financial backing of LY Corporation.
