KLab Inc, a leader in online computing, is pleased to announce its entry into the GPU AI cloud business.
The KLab GPU AI Cloud Service is a service that rents out the computing power and resources of high-performance GPUs (Graphics Processing Units) such as those made by NVIDIA via the Internet. It specializes in tasks that require parallel processing, such as AI development, machine learning, and 3D rendering, and is characterized by its flexibility and cost-effectiveness, allowing users to use as much computing power as they need, when they need it.
KLab has 25 years of server operation experience and many years of experience in AI research.
In today’s cloud-based world, most game and internet service providers provide their services on the cloud, and it’s rare to find a company that operates its own servers.

While KLab utilizes cloud services as needed, it has built a strong track record of operating its own servers since its founding. Even before it began game development, KLab’s core business was providing high-load servers, supporting large-scale services with over 100,000 simultaneous hits, including Japan’s first video streaming service by a major TV station and the official website of a major talent agency. This track record of operating servers without any major incidents for over 25 years has formed the technological foundation for advancing its GPU AI cloud business.
Furthermore, KLab is actively pursuing research and development in the AI field, having had papers accepted at international conferences such as AAAI-23 and conducting joint research with Kyushu University. This has established KLab as a company with both an understanding of cutting-edge technology and the ability to apply it. Our R&D capabilities are not just about staying ahead of the curve on technology; they also translate into business implementation, giving us a significant competitive advantage in the GPU AI cloud business going forward.
market environment
The domestic data center services market is expected to be approximately 2.7 trillion yen in 2023, doubling to approximately 5.8 trillion yen in 2028 (Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, ” 2025 Information and Communications White Paper “). The market for GPU servers for data centers is also predicted to expand 16.1 times from 4.5 billion yen in 2022 to 72.5 billion yen in 2028 (Fuji Chimera Research Institute, ” Data Center Business Market Research Overview 2024 Edition “).
While the global AI-related market continues to expand rapidly, in Japan many products, such as LLM, are dominated by US tech companies. Among these, the AI data center field is seeing remarkable growth for Japanese companies.
Issues and future developments of this project
Naturally, there are challenges in the GPU AI cloud business. Typical challenges include the large initial investment, the risk of owning server assets, and security risks. We are promoting business partnerships to address these risks and have prepared programs to address them. We will make announcements as soon as they are ready.
