Internet Initiative Japan Inc. (IIJ) has worked with Interfocus parent company, MOTEX, for several years in Japan and Asia, and its proven core technology continues to help several of our global customers,” said Koichi Maruyama, President & CEO, at IIJ America Inc.  “Therefore, we were pleased earlier this year when Interfocus entered the US market and reached out to IIJ America to partner.  We’re excited about the joint possibilities ahead and the opportunity to work with Interfocus to expand our security offerings to new and existing customers.”
