Samsung SDS Opens Pangyo IT Campus... Establishes Cloud-Based Integrated IT Operation System

[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Nahum] Samsung SDS announced on the 30th that it has opened the Pangyo IT Campus to innovate its existing ITO (IT Outsourcing) operations, which were conducted by dispatching employees to client sites, into a remote work operation system suitable for the cloud era.

Accordingly, about 2,000 Samsung SDS employees who were scattered across client sites will gather at the Pangyo IT Campus to integrate and operate IT systems based on the cloud.

Samsung SDS also plans to continuously promote ITO business innovation through standardizing tasks to convert client business systems into Software as a Service (SaaS), and automating operations based on DevOps, which enables concurrent development and operation collaboration.

Along with this, activities to accelerate the transformation of existing systems into cloud-compatible applications will be intensified by utilizing methodologies and know-how for application modernization suitable for cloud-native environments, such as containers and microservices architecture (MSA).

The Samsung SDS Pangyo IT Campus has implemented a work environment that allows secure access to client networks from anywhere by applying Software Defined Network (SDN) technology, which manages networks through software. Security policies have also been further strengthened, including IT security systems according to client-specific security policies to prevent information leakage, facial recognition access systems, and intelligent video security monitoring.

Gu Hyung-jun, Vice President and Head of Samsung SDS Cloud Service Division, said, "The transition to a cloud-based integrated IT operation system is expected to become the new standard for IT operation tasks," adding, "Samsung SDS will continuously enhance its cloud capabilities and accelerate its cloud-first strategy by nurturing experts."
