Cloud Everywhere: The same service everywhere – it’s here with 'technology'.
Published2017.06.20 15:37Sharing core cloud utilization technologies, current status, and various case studies in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution
KT held the 8th Cloud Frontier at the Grand Intercontinental on Tuesday, the 20th.
Lee Seon-woo, Senior Vice President of KT’s Corporate Services Division, who delivered the welcoming remarks, mentioned the Internet of Things (IoT), Connected Car, and VR/Hologram, which were selected by Gartner as standard technology trends in 2017, and stated that while 5G, cloud, and big data are mentioned as solutions, low latency is necessary to enhance completeness.
As a simple example, to reduce dizziness and enhance realism in VR devices, the image must follow in real time. To this end, they announced plans to realize 'Cloud Everywhere,' which provides the same services in various regions including Seoul and Jeju.
Executive Director Lee further stated that they can provide services that integrate the cloud and GiGA Genie.
Cloud Everywhere means connecting KT's 11 Internet Data Centers (IDCs) nationwide to provide the same services. It has established the K-ICT Alliance with public institutions and is supplying servers, storage, and networks. In addition to this, Manager Kim Jeong-guk of KT’s Public Business Team stated, “To realize Cloud Everywhere, we have combined the IDCs of campuses in the Seoul and Gyeonggi regions so that there are no additional costs regardless of which IDC is used, and we have reduced the costs involved in building dedicated lines.”
Public and private clouds must be implemented in a hybrid form.
Na Seung-ju, Senior Vice President at Intel, spoke on the topic of network innovation for the realization of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, stating that “public and private forms must evolve into a hybrid.” He mentioned the importance of Software Defined Networks (SDN) and Network Function Visualization (NFV), noting that while hardware previously restricted applications, applications and services must now break down hardware boundaries through flexible responses.
He added, “If such a flexible approach is taken, data utilization becomes easier, allowing the process from idea to operation, which typically takes several months, to be reduced to minutes.”
Professor Jun-Hyuk Jang of the Department of Convergence Electronics Engineering at Hanyang University explained the principles of AI voice assistant speakers under the theme of the current status of cloud-based AI voice assistants. He emphasized the importance of fast cloud services, stating, “All processes, from the pre-processing noise/reverberation/echo removal—the principle of AI speakers—to transmission to cloud servers, natural language processing, and character generation based on user requests, must be completed within one second.”
The KT Frontier event featured 24 theoretical and practical lectures, divided into cloud industry, transformation, tech trends, and policy. Approximately 18 related booths were exhibited in the event lobby to welcome visitors.

Global cloud traffic increased approximately fourfold in 2020, accounting for 92% of data center traffic.
Cisco has announced "The Cisco Global Cloud Index 2015-2020," which analyzes the growth trends and patterns of global data center and cloud traffic. Through this report, Cisco forecasts that global cloud traffic will increase 3.7-fold from 3.9 zettabytes (ZB) annually in 2015 to 14.1 ZB annually by 2020. Cisco analyzed that migration to cloud architecture has increased because cloud supports more workloads compared to traditional data centers and can scale more rapidly.

KT Sets Out to Strengthen Enterprise Cloud Services in the Seoul Metropolitan Area
KT는 목동 클라우드데이터센터(CDC)에서 기업전용 클라우드 Zone인 ‘서울-M2존’을 신규 구축했다고 17일 밝혔다. KT는 지금까지 천안김해 CDC와 서울 목동 CDC 1센터, 미국 LA CDC까지 총 4개 지역, 6개 멀티존을 통해 클라우드 서비스를 제공해왔다. KT는 목동 CDC 2센터의 ‘서울-M2존’까지 추가 구축하면서 총 5개 CDC를 기반으로 7개의 기업전용 멀티존을 운영하게 됐다. 이번 ‘서울-M2존’은 빠르게 변하는 IT 산업에 부응하기 위해 기업 고객들이 지금보다 더 높은 성능의 IT 인프라를 요구하면서 이루어졌다. ‘서울-M2존’은 다수 기업의 본사가 집중되어 있는 수도권 내에 구축했으며 기존 클라우드 서비스와는 차별화된 고성능, 고사양 서버로 고도화했다. 최신 CPU와 기본 SSD 스토리지를 적용하고 컴퓨팅, 스토리지, 보안 서비스 라인업을 대폭 확대해 상품별 연계성도 강화했다. 이로써 금융, 의료, 교육, 미디어, 제조 등 산업별로 최적화한 맞춤형 클라우드 시스템을 지원할 수 있게 되었다. KT는 올 상반기 안에 목동 CDC 1센터, 2센터 및 여의도 IDC를 중심으로 DCI(Data Center Interconnect) 기술을 적용한다. DCI는 전산시스템이 단일 네트워크로 운영 가능하도록 물리적으로 떨어져 있는 데이터 센터를 상호 연결해 주는 네트워크 서비스이다. 이기술이 적용되면 기업 고객들은 IDC와 클라우드 등 여러 곳에 분산된 IT 인프라를 손쉽고 경제적으로 연동할 수 있어 효율적인 인프라 운용이 가능해 진다. 하반기에는 광역 네트워크 구성으로 전국적인 서비스로 확대할 예정이다. 한편, KT는 오늘부터 ‘서울-M2존’의 클라우드 서버(VM) 이용 가격도 대폭 인하한다. 이로써 ‘서울-M2존’ 이용 고객이라면 누구나 최고의 품질과 높은 성능이 보장되는 클라우드 인프라를 글로벌 사업자 대비 최대 18%까지 절감된 비용으로 이용할 수 있다. KT 기업서비스 본부장 이선우 상무는 “급변하는 국내 IT 산업 환경에 기업 고객이 빠르게 적응할 수 있도록 ‘서울-M2존’을 추가 구축하게 되어 기쁘게 생각한다”고 밝히며 “앞으로도 KT는 산업별 IT 관련 요구 사항을 빠르게 수용하여 세계 최고 수준의 기업 전용 클라우드 서비스를 제공해 나가겠다”고 전했다.

AWS: How Far Has It Come?
GE, a manufacturer with a 140-year tradition, referred to itself as a "startup." It meant that the company has entered an initial stage by adopting cloud technology. At the AWS Summit keynote speech held on the 19th, CEO Yeom Dong-hoon mentioned DevOps, a hybrid form of development and operations, and said, "Whereas previously it was about purchasing new versions, now we need to think about updates rather than purchases." Additionally, CEO Yeom stated, "Many companies have already finished deliberating and are implementing cloud solutions," and added, "Cloud is no longer something to deliberate about." According to his remarks, GE has migrated 9,000 enterprise workloads to AWS and plans to reduce 34 data centers to 4 within three years. Following AWS migration, current scores show 52% cost reduction compared to the previous baseline, 77% improvement in business application delivery speed, operational deployment cycle shortened from days to hours, and 240% improvement in customer and market responsiveness. Amazon's R&D process undergoes direct simulation within the company. This is how the data lake cloud storage S3 was formed. S3 provides diverse options covering Siemens, Honda, and GE, and can be converted according to convenience. Combined with Amazon's deep learning, it has programming and data algorithms as well as GPU functionality. Samsung SDS's cloud utilization case for SCM (Supply Chain Management) advancement Last year, the U.S. logistics trade publication Journal of Commerce featured a special article on Samsung SDS under the theme of "Companies driving growth in the logistics sector." At the center of Samsung SDS's logistics business is CELLO.

SalePoint Signs Multi-Year Partnership Agreement with AWS… Promoting Identity Security that Integrates Even AI Agents
Sailpoint has entered into a multi-year strategic partnership agreement with AWS and is moving forward with establishing an integrated governance system that manages both human and non-human identities together. The plan is to consistently manage access permissions in an environment where AI agents are increasing as work execution entities, while applying the principle of least privilege and automated policy enforcement. The two companies plan to jointly expand capabilities to manage the identities of various entities, including AI agents, within a single layer in the AWS environment. This collaboration is interpreted as a move to design security and governance together in corporate environments where AI adoption is expanding.
