Sorry but then which will the cloud service partnering with NEM? i am really interested about it but i have not found the info, if someone can help me with this
thanks in advance
Here are a couple of links.

There is a private fork of NEM that has been customized for speed and security in business settings. That private chain is called Mijin. There has been a lot of interest in Japan about using Mijin as a business solution chain, much in the same way R3 is being marketed in America/Europe.
The owner of the largest Bitcoin exchange in Japan, also owns another company called Tech Bureau. Tech Bureau is offering blockchain solutions with the Mijin chain to different companies, banks, and other internet services.
Sakura Internet is a large cloud server service in Japan, and they have partnered with Tech Bureau. They are offering 6 months of free Mijin blockchains for companies to test and build on. After that 6 months, if these companies want to continue their contracts, they can pay for their plans.
Incidentally since Sakura Internet announced that they landed the partnership with Tech Bureau and made a press release, their stock has performed really well on the Tokyo exchange.
So the next question, is usually something like this.... "So great, Japan now has a private ledger they are all going to use, but how does that help NEM, and really how does that help me? Aren't private ledgers owned by the companies so they won't really ever be buying in XEM, right?"
ANd then answer is.... maybe. But that actually isn't as bad as it sounds. Mijin has partnered with a bank, with a enterprise business software serving 5000 companies, and now is being test by almost 100 additional companies independently. But the beauty of the system is that Mijin and NEM actually use the same set of APIs for their feature set. So by a company building a software to work on Mijin, they actually built a software that will work on NEM too.
These companies are basically getting two for the price of one. They get to use a private ledger with their select group of trusted partners or they get to use an open and decentralized chain that allows anyone to trade on it. And likewise if somebody starts off on the free and open NEM chain, but their business grows and they want to have more control over their partners and scale to 1000 tx/s, then now they have software already ready to go for Mijin. So it is an interesting option for a company that wants a private ledger, but maybe will someday use a public ledger a little, or likewise for somebody starting off on a public ledger but wants to keep their options open to switch to a private ledger later.
We can assume that a lot of these companies building on Mijin will not ever touch the NEM main chain, but if even 10% of them did offer some of their services on the NEM main chain as they wanted to expand their market to anybody and everybody, then all of a sudden the NEM main chain would become a very busy chain very quickly. This is going to take some time to scale out and up, but their is a lot of promise.
