"Develop Apps Without Cloud Infrastructure" SKT Launches TKS Cloud Service

Fast App Deployment Without Impact on Existing Services
Limited-Time Free Promotion for Startups Provided

As the pace of change among customers and markets accelerates, companies' ability to develop and launch new services (apps) in a short period of time, as well as how frequently they upgrade existing services to satisfy customers, has become a competitive edge for survival in the market. A representative example is the TKS Cloud Service. On the 3rd, SK Telecom announced, "We have launched the ‘TKS Cloud Service,’ which allows companies to easily add and expand functions of their apps and services without interruption, even without specialized personnel."

The TKS Cloud Service enables users to easily handle the entire complex and difficult process?from configuring cloud infrastructure to installing and operating platforms, as well as installing the software necessary for app development, deployment, and operation?with just a few clicks on the application screen. Compared to similar solutions from other companies, the TKS Cloud Service’s strengths include ‘low investment cost (usable without installation, no need for specialized personnel),’ ‘shortened development and commercialization period,’ and ‘ability to quickly establish app development and deployment systems.’

The main features of the TKS Cloud Service include ▲ providing various combinations of cloud infrastructure, platforms, and deployment software ▲ supporting public clouds such as Amazon AWS and Microsoft Azure ▲ releasing all underlying technologies that compose the service as open-source software. SKT plans to prioritize offering this service to small and medium-sized enterprises such as startups. This is because it allows them to focus their personnel and budget on service development without hiring specialized staff needed for app modernization. A limited-time free promotion is being offered to startups.

Lee Dong-gi, head of SKT Cloud Tech, said, “Through the launch of the TKS Cloud Service, we expect to support companies’ app modernization transitions and become a partner that helps startups and SMEs grow rapidly.” He added, “Going forward, SKT will continuously add new features (such as AI service support and cost optimization) that can respond to market changes and expand to multi- and hybrid-clouds to meet the diverse needs of companies.”
