"Cloud Also as a Subscription" AI-Based Integrated Solution 'SKT Cloud Hub' Launched

[Asia Economy Reporter Seulgina Cho] SK Telecom announced on the 26th that it has launched ‘SKT Cloud Hub,’ a subscription-based dedicated cloud network service for enterprises using multiple types of cloud services.

This is an integrated dedicated cloud network solution that allows enterprise customers using two or more cloud services from different providers such as AWS and MS Azure to use optimal services through a single line. By paying only a monthly subscription fee, there is no need to purchase new equipment or incur costs for space rental, power, or operation.

SKT Cloud Hub enables users to access their servers immediately through a dedicated line that requires only a single connection without having to connect individually to each CSP cloud. It eliminates the hassle of building network equipment directly for cloud migration and saves about 8 weeks of setup time. Compared to enterprises individually building and operating dedicated lines, it is estimated to reduce costs by approximately 80%.

SK Telecom plans to provide a high-quality multi-cloud connection and network environment by utilizing the ‘Cloud Management Platform (CMP)’ developed jointly with cloud technology company Bespin Global, which incorporates AI-based cloud usage cost reduction technology.

In particular, SK Telecom will apply quantum cryptography technology to the dedicated cloud network within this year. The plan is to completely block hacking possibilities by applying dedicated lines and quantum cryptography technology. The company expects this to be highly effective for financial institutions and commerce operators preparing for the MyData business, based on its high security.

SKT Cloud Hub is currently available for AWS and MS Azure and plans to expand its application to Google Cloud and Naver Cloud within this year. Inquiries and consultations are available on SK Telecom’s official B2B website ‘T World Biz (http://b2b.tworld.co.kr).’

Choi Il-gyu, Head of SK Telecom Cloud CO (Company), stated, “SK Telecom has emerged as a digital infrastructure provider offering comprehensive cloud-related services including 5G MEC, multi- and hybrid-cloud MSP, and cloud networks. We will be an innovation partner for companies seeking to advance and enhance competitiveness of their IT infrastructure through the cloud.”
