This is the copy of the first Interop Tokyo in 1994 and this is THE spirit of Interop. While there are a lot of ways to get information though internet, they never prove that the products are really working or not in live. Interop has delivered the “LIVE” information to stake holders how the latest technology works.
Interop Tokyo is proud of delivering the “ShowNet” since 1994.
