Datasection revealed on May 29 that its TAIZA platform has been integrated with OpenAI’s API to manage enterprise workloads using a controlled deployment model. This setup will allow the system to route requests to OpenAI models via the Datasection software layer. It won’t have to directly access OpenAI’s cloud endpoints.
This comes as the Japanese cloud operator is enhancing its GPU capabilities in several countries. This integration may mark the first deployment of OpenAI for model inference on a non-Microsoft cloud setting.
OpenAI pushes beyond the Microsoft cloud
OpenAI and Microsoft had an updated partnership agreement signed in April 2026. It allowed for this Artificial intelligence giant To distribute its products across different cloud service providers. However, it will have to keep Microsoft as its primary cloud partner. It grants the software company non-exclusive licensing rights to OpenAI models until 2032.
The updated partnership has removed the restrictions imposed. Earlier, it was largely limited to OpenAI Microsoft Azure. This has enabled wider distribution among other cloud providers such as AWS and Google Cloud, when needed. As of now, the AI company can offer all its products to customers via any cloud provider.
Microsoft will continue to host a significant amount of OpenAI’s workload on Azure and remains a major contributor. The Datasection partnership appears to be in line with an API-level distribution model rather than any change in OpenAI infrastructure deployment. Its primary way to present its model will be through an API.
OpenAI has also been expanding its regional data options across Asia since 2025. This includes Japan, Singapore, India and South Korea. Its integration with Datasection is seen as a trend for models built into third-party enterprise platforms.
Datasection shares jump 20% amid OpenAI deal
The Japanese company is It is said Increasing its AI-based computing capacity in Australia and Thailand as well. It’s building what it calls a multi-country GPU infrastructure network. As of May 2026, GPU capacity has exceeded 20,000 units.
The AI infrastructure business began in September 2025. The rapid growth in monthly sales came from October and reached 4.5 billion Japanese yen (about $28.25 million). The company’s expansion is entirely based on NVIDIA-based systems. It has 5,000 GPUs in Japan, 10,000 in Australia, and 5,000 in Thailand.
Data from the Tokyo Stock Exchange shows that Datasection’s stock price jumped nearly 20% in one day. It was trading at 6,140 yen at the time of publishing. The company’s AI strategy is to integrate computing infrastructure and enterprise deployment tools into a single platform.
Norihiko Ishihara, CEO of Datasection, said that the partnership with OpenAI represents a critical step in aligning regional infrastructure with evolving sovereign AI requirements. The collaboration aims to connect advanced AI systems to the needs of enterprise and public sector deployments across the Asia-Pacific region.
OpenAI has not issued any separate statement regarding the Datasection integration. In its public disclosures, the company continues to emphasize API-driven distribution and partner-led deployment as its core enterprise strategy.
