Reference Architecture
This diagram shows StrategyCore’s current technology stack across AI and machine learning, data engineering and cybersecurity. It illustrates possible combinations of data platforms, AI applications and security services for enterprises and government organisations in Japan. StrategyCore works with vendor engineers and each organisation’s IT team to adapt the stack to its applications, existing systems and security requirements. We can add open-source software or other vendors’ products to address gaps in the proposed deployment and extend the stack as new requirements arise.

Applications of the architecture
The data platform can support operational reporting, AI retrieval and analysis of security events. Each application needs its own data connections, permissions and performance tests.
Real-Time Analytics
Dashboards and operational reports over data updated from source systems.
Powered byStriimSingleStoreLogiAI & RAG Applications
Retrieval, model serving, and agents built on vectors held next to the source data.
Powered byStriimSingleStoreProphetStorSecurity Analytics / SIEM
Collect security logs, query events and present findings in dashboards for the security operations team.
Powered byStriimSingleStoreLogiCustomer 360 & Data Hub
Combine customer or product records from connected systems, with matching rules and update intervals defined for each source.
Powered byStriimSingleStorePredictive Operations
Forecast resource demand and adjust cluster capacity against measured workload requirements.
Powered byProphetStorSingleStoreDevice & Email Trust
Assess device and firmware risks with DeviceTotal, and manage sending-domain authentication with Valimail. Each service can be evaluated separately from the data platform.
Powered byDeviceTotalValimailSEC
Email and device-security services
CybersecurityValimail manages domain authentication; DeviceTotal assesses device risk. The two services can be evaluated separately from the data platform.

Email Authentication Pipeline
Check domain authentication with SPF, DKIM and DMARC. Quarantine or rejection is requested through policy; receivers decide final handling. BIMI logo display depends on the receiving service’s conditions.

Where each product sits.
Japanese pre-sales and deployment planning for your solution.
StrategyCore’s pre-sales engineers work with your team and the prospect’s IT staff to assess connections to existing systems. We plan the technical evaluation in Japanese and agree the deployment, operating and post-sales technical support responsibilities for each component.
