KT Forms Alliance for Domestic Cloud OS
[Asia Economy Reporter Koo Chae-eun] KT has signed a business agreement with four companies?Tmax A&C, Hancom, Tilon, and Invesium?to jointly develop and promote a business model for creating a Desktop as a Service (DaaS) ecosystem targeting public institutions.
The agreement, held on the 31st at the KT headquarters, aims to respond to the rapidly changing work styles in public institutions and public services due to the impact of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) by adopting contactless methods. Based on the MOU, the companies will collaborate to develop and commercialize desktop-as-a-service solutions for the public sector.
KT plans to design its own DaaS service based on its cloud service technology and operational capabilities, providing technical support for development and compatibility verification for each native business partner. Tmax A&C, Hancom, and Invesium will develop open operating systems (OS) and verify compatibility with public institution work solutions and security solutions. Additionally, Tilon plans to develop a VDI solution with high compatibility with native OSs as a service. The DaaS service, scheduled for release in the second half of the year, will be located in the KT cloud data center. KT’s specialized personnel will be fully responsible for maintenance and troubleshooting inquiries. Public institutions can use the service immediately upon application. They will only pay for what they use, receiving high-quality services at an affordable price.
