Rakuten Group Launches Enterprise Cloud AI Suite for Japanese Market
Rakuten Group has launched Rakuten Cloud AI Suite, a comprehensive enterprise AI platform built on its proprietary telecommunications infrastructure. The suite includes large language model hosting, AI-powered customer analytics, and automated business process tools, all running on Rakuten's own cloud infrastructure rather than third-party hyperscalers. The platform is initially available in Japan with planned expansion to India and Southeast Asia. Rakuten is positioning the suite as a cost-effective alternative for enterprises that want AI capabilities without dependency on AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud.
