NHN Targets Cloud Market in 'Medical Healthcare' Sector

Selection of Cloud Service Providers for the 'Cloud Flagship Project'

[Asia Economy Reporter Jin-gyu Lee] NHN's integrated cloud service 'TOAST' has launched an attack on the cloud market in the medical healthcare sector.

On the 19th, NHN announced that it was selected as the cloud service provider for the medical healthcare sector in the 'Cloud Flagship Project' led by the Ministry of Science and ICT, promoted in line with the government's Digital New Deal policy. The Cloud Flagship Project is a government initiative that supports the advancement and expansion of cloud services.

Following this selection, NHN will provide TOAST infrastructure for cloud services aimed at digital medical support and everyday health management. Digital medical support refers to minimizing face-to-face interactions by digitizing operational services within medical institutions such as appointments, consultations, and payments. In addition, support for the development of software as a service (SaaS) for the medical sector and platform advancement will be carried out concurrently.

NHN obtained 'Cloud Security Certification' in 2017 from the Korea Internet & Security Agency (KISA), gaining cloud business qualifications to enter the public sector. Subsequently, it launched the 'TOAST G' service dedicated to public institutions based on OpenStack. The epidemiological investigation support system for COVID-19 by the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency and the QR code-based electronic entry log management system have also been serviced through TOAST G since June.

Jung-soo Ki, Director of NHN Cloud Business, said, "Building on successful references in the public medical field, we will continue to target the medical market with cloud services, including establishing a medical-dedicated cloud zone at the Gimhae Data Center scheduled for completion in 2022."
