KT Targets Smart Working Market with Enterprise DaaS

[Asia Economy Reporter Seulgina Cho] KT announced on the 23rd that it has launched a ‘Corporate DaaS (Desktop as a Service)’ product to help corporate clients create flexible remote work environments.

DaaS is a service that provides virtual desktops and data storage based on cloud server resources. Users can access the virtual desktop environment and perform tasks without restrictions on time, location, or access device. Unlike on-premise virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), it reduces initial system investment costs and allows flexible usage by setting the number of concurrently connected virtual machines (VMs) to match the required monthly usage.

The product is offered in two main types: ▲ Dedicated VDI, which allocates virtual desktop resources per user, and ▲ Pooled VDI, which provides a clean operating system (Clean OS) environment each time DaaS is accessed to maintain a standardized work environment.

KT Cloud provides a user portal environment for each company’s DaaS users. Corporate IT administrators can use the admin portal to manage service status and policies. Additionally, users can choose optional VPN and dedicated line-based network environments for safer access to the DaaS server (DaaS Farm). A security monitoring service that protects customers’ virtual desktop environments from external attacks is also offered as an option.

Lee Mi-hee, Executive Director of KT Cloud & DX Business Division, said, “KT Cloud’s corporate DaaS product can support smart work, which has become a major challenge for companies after COVID-19. As the largest and most experienced operator in VDI deployment and management in Korea, KT will expand its DaaS solution offerings to lead companies’ digital transformation.”
