Iole Inc. announced that its Notion AI feature, used as an internal information sharing platform, may have caused some chat history to leak externally. The company apologized to stakeholders and reported the scope of impact and current response measures.
Iore Co., Ltd. announced its plan to expand its HR business into the AI-integrated comprehensive support domain, leveraging the customer touchpoints, operational insights, and data accumulated through its recruitment advertising and HR services. Starting from each company's hiring challenges and personnel strategies, it aims to become a partner that supports the entire process—from awareness and talent pool formation to selection, hiring, and retention—by combining its own AI utilization know-how, HR products, and alliances with external companies.
Iore and WOODMAN will conduct a proof‑of‑concept (PoC) of a closed‑edge platform that utilizes liquid immersion cooling and limits connections to external networks. Targeting hospitals, manufacturing, and logistics, they are recruiting participating businesses and security partners to validate business continuity and recovery, including AI processing.
Pet travel media 'Holiday Dog Club' has published a stay experience report for Dog Hotel Shirahama. To celebrate the release, under sponsorship, a giveaway campaign is being held where two pairs can win a free stay voucher through a lottery.
Iole Inc. reported that unauthorized access by a third party occurred in its email delivery service "Blast Mail", resulting in the exfiltration of personal information. However, no leakage of customer personal information stored and operated by our company has been confirmed. We are currently reporting the scope of impact and the status of our response.
Iore will participate in a project to build a distributed AI data center with 300 nationwide sites and a total power capacity of 600 MW, aimed for completion by 2030, driven by strategic partner Digital Dynamic. Using a 2 MW class ordinary high‑voltage model as the baseline, the company will establish a system that can provide AI computing resources tailored to regions, uses, and customer needs, accelerating the provision of AI computing power and the commercialization of NeoCloud.
Iole has begun handling and ordering the NVIDIA HGX B300 system equipped with the NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra GPU in collaboration with Digital Dynamic. Iole will serve as the sales and customer contract interface, while Digital Dynamic will handle installation and operation in data centers. The AI data center in Futaba-cho, Fukushima Prefecture is scheduled for installation and operation start by the end of 2026.
Iole Co., Ltd. has decided to fully acquire WOODMAN Co., Ltd., which develops and builds modular AI data centers and provides AI server and storage sales and implementation support, through a stock swap. This will establish a system that can consistently provide everything from GPU server procurement and sales to power procurement, data center development, cooling, and operation, accelerating the launch of the Neo Cloud business.
The pet travel media 'Holiday Inu Club', operated by Iole Inc., has published a lodging experience report for Wān Wān Paradise Premier Nanki Shirahama. To commemorate the release of the report, a campaign is being held in partnership with the facility, offering a free accommodation voucher (including two meals per night) to be drawn for three lucky pairs.
Iole Co., Ltd. will exhibit at the Japan DX & AX Week Autumn 2026 held at Makuhari Messe from October 21 to 23, 2026. It will showcase infrastructure and AI solutions, providing opportunities for hands‑on experience.
