AK Mall switches to Amazon Web Services... "Improving shopping stability"

[Asia Economy Reporter Cha Min-young] AK Plaza's online shopping mall AK Mall announced on the 26th that it has migrated all operational servers except the database to Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud.

AWS is the most comprehensively adopted cloud platform worldwide for over 14 years. AK Mall carried out the AWS cloud migration project in collaboration with Megazone Cloud. Megazone Cloud is one of the largest cloud management service providers (MSP) in Korea and a Premier Consulting Partner of the AWS Partner Network (APN).

Through this AWS cloud migration, AK Mall can now implement more sophisticated personalized marketing, enabling the website to quickly and flexibly reflect services according to customer characteristics. Additionally, by leveraging AWS cloud's flexible server scalability, the risk of system overload during large promotions and events is minimized, improving customer convenience and shopping stability. During periods of relatively low customer visits, service usage can be appropriately reduced to enhance cost efficiency.

Meanwhile, preparations have also been made to increase internal system understanding. Related training on AWS infrastructure, application design, deployment, and operation was conducted for employees.

Jo Yoon-sung, head of the Digital Innovation Team at AK Plaza, said, “Cloud migration for comprehensive internet shopping malls is an essential process in the future, and it is significant that AK Mall has taken the lead in migrating the entire system in the market.” He added, “AK Mall will gain competitiveness to quickly respond to the rapidly changing online market.”
