Ricoh Japan launches managed Dify hosting on its own AWS

Ricoh Japan is positioning the new service around the paid Dify Essential/Standard licenses, which target mid-size companies and individual departments rather than large enterprise-wide rollouts. By running Dify on an AWS environment it contracts and manages itself, Ricoh removes the need for customers to sign and administer their own AWS accounts. The server capacity, memory configuration, and other settings are standardized based on Ricoh Group's own internal experience with Dify, a detail that suggests the offering leans on proven internal use rather than a generic cloud template. The package is split into four parts: setup and environment construction, ongoing operations of both AWS and Dify, technical support for Dify usage questions, and optional access to Amazon Bedrock LLMs on AWS. That structure points to customers who want the app-building capability but not the infrastructure work, with Ricoh's technical team handling troubleshooting and inquiries along the way.
