[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Have you heard of the ‘Cloud Systems Department’? It will be established for the first time in Korea next year at Gyeongnam Information University. In line with this, a generous gift has arrived at the university.

Tillon, a leading domestic cloud company, donated cloud-related equipment worth 5.5 billion KRW to Gyeongnam Information University (President Kim Dae-sik).

Tillon is a company that handles cloud infrastructure software and virtualization systems. The items donated for professional talent development include licenses for the cloud PC solution ‘Dstation v9.0’ and servers.

Founded in 2001, Tillon holds numerous patents and core technologies related to virtualization systems and leads the cloud, metaverse, and blockchain markets.

On the 19th, Gyeongnam Information University held a donation ceremony at the university’s Global Convention Hall, attended by about 250 faculty and staff, including President Kim Dae-sik.

CEO Choi Baek-joon gave a special lecture titled ‘Preparation for Advanced Talent Development Based on Cloud and Future Technology Stories’ on that day.

The ‘Dstation v9.0’ donated to Gyeongnam Information University is the most widely used solution by major countries and public institutions. It is the only cloud solution to have obtained the National Intelligence Service’s ‘Security Function Confirmation 2.0,’ receiving the highest evaluation for security and safety.

Using the 10,000 licenses and other items donated, Gyeongnam Information University will establish a cloud-based smart education and work environment, providing one cloud PC per person to all faculty, staff, and students.

In particular, the newly established Cloud Systems Department next year will be equipped with the latest cloud infrastructure, creating an environment where students can learn both theory and practical skills simultaneously.

Previously, maintaining PC status such as class programs and environment settings in existing labs was very challenging, but unified management through VDI-based cloud PCs now allows easy maintenance of class environments by subject.

Additionally, problems such as class delays caused by lab PC issues have disappeared, creating an efficient class environment and improving convenience for students and faculty.

CEO Choi Baek-joon of Tillon said, “Tillon is a cloud and metaverse specialized company, and we are deeply grateful for Gyeongnam Information University’s establishment of the Cloud Systems Department. We are pleased to hold this donation ceremony.”

He added, “We hope that by utilizing the donated cloud infrastructure, Gyeongnam Information University students will be able to cultivate professional skills combining theory and practice that connect real-world cloud infrastructure with the metaverse virtual world in an innovative environment.”

President Kim Dae-sik of Gyeongnam Information University said, “We sincerely thank Tillon for their active support in establishing the nation’s first Cloud Systems Department next year. We will continue a deep cooperative relationship with Tillon to nurture advanced cloud talents, linking education programs and employment.”
