The two companies will collaborate in the fields of generative AI and cloud. Through this partnership, they plan to jointly explore business opportunities in AI and cloud, particularly focusing on public and financial sectors or regulated industries where high security standards are required. As a first step, Samsung SDS will strengthen its strategic collaboration by utilizing Google Distributed Cloud (GDC) to expand into high-security and regulated markets. GDC is a managed solution for data centers and edge environments (where data is processed near the device, rather than at a central data center). It meets requirements such as regulatory compliance, local data processing, system survivability, and ultra-low latency.

In addition, Samsung SDS plans to explore ways to provide Google's Gemini Enterprise and Agentic AI solutions to enterprise customers in an integrated manner through the Samsung Cloud Platform (SCP). The companies also intend to strengthen their managed service provider (MSP) business by combining the cloud technology capabilities and industry expertise of both Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and Samsung SDS. In terms of security, they will enhance collaboration by integrating Google’s cloud security solution Wiz with Samsung SDS’s security and managed service capabilities to reinforce cloud security and proactive risk response.

Hojun Lee, Vice President of Samsung SDS, stated, “Through this collaboration with Google Cloud, we will build AI and cloud environments centered on high-security and regulated industries and support enterprises in their AI transformation.” He added, “We will continue to expand AI transformation and innovation across various industries in the future.”
