Network equipment in the form of software and virtualization platforms
Expected savings in service installation time and operating costs
KT announced the launch of One Box, a service that integrates and manages corporate IT equipment by applying Network Virtualization (NFV) technology for the first time in Korea.
One Box is a platform-based service that enables network equipment (hardware) previously operated separately by function to be managed and operated as a single device by virtualizing them into a software form (NFV: Network Functions Virtualization).
The One Box service, developed in-house by KT Infra Research Institute, enables the integrated management of various IT functions within an enterprise—such as SDN/NFV-based circuit connectivity, local network management, and security—through the Internet.

By using the One Box service, companies can selectively download and use only the IT functions they need internally. The process, which previously took an average of 10 days from service application to equipment delivery/installation and activation, can be shortened to an average of 2 days. Unnecessary features can be freely canceled, which is expected to result in a reduction of more than 30% of existing IT operating costs.
Without any additional cost, you can monitor the status of system operations in real time through the NFV Orchestrator provided by KT and immediately inspect it through specialized personnel in the event of a failure.
Manufacturers developing products through the One Box system can quickly sell products that meet customer needs via a virtualization platform, and customers can expand their range of manufacturer choices.
Lee Sun-woo, Head of KT’s Corporate Services Division, stated, “KT’s One Box will be the starting point for the shift in the corporate IT market from a hardware-centric approach to a software-based platform service,” adding, “Starting with the launch of One Box, we will strive to lead the paradigm of the corporate IT market with a platform based on an intelligent hyper-connected network.”
