Why KakaoCloud

Technology and innovation for a better tomorrow
KakaoCloud strives to build a faster, safer cloud for the future.

Cloud services are much like building an outstanding house on solid ground and then leasing it. KakaoCloud has worked to build more than a house that simply looks impressive: it has designed the beams and foundations to remain stable for decades. Just as a well-built house depends on its beams and foundation, a cloud service depends on its hardware and network. Examining how these components are designed helps you assess the quality of a cloud service.

Resilient and secure network foundation​

The network is a critical part of a cloud platform and reflects the technical quality of the service as a whole. When evaluating a cloud service for complex business workloads, verify that it is built on a secure and flexible network environment.

Completely isolated virtual data center​

The first step in using KakaoCloud services is to create a VPC (Virtual Private Cloud), which provides a logically isolated virtual network. KakaoCloud compute services such as Beyond Compute Service (BCS) also require a network connection such as a VPC. You can configure a custom virtual network based on the default VPC environment. VPCs are logically isolated and physically separated across multiple Availability Zones, providing high stability and availability.

'Transit Gateway' for inter-VPC connectivity​

Moving to a multi-cloud or hybrid-cloud environment and rapidly expanding an existing cloud environment require reliable connections between networks and VPCs. Connecting different environments, however, can reduce performance and complicate network configuration.
KakaoCloud Transit Gateway connects multiple VPCs without reducing performance and supports a configuration similar to a private data center network. It also connects multiple VPCs and on-premises networks through a centralized network. Multi-AZ support improves system availability and helps you build a rapid disaster recovery (DR) architecture.

High-performance, high-density infrastructure​

Since entering the cloud market, KakaoCloud has actively invested in hardware research and development. This work has built expertise in high-performance, high-density cloud technology and contributed to KakaoCloud's performance.

Collaborative ventures​

KakaoCloud collaborates closely with leading global companies, including AMD, on technical innovation. In collaboration with AMD Xilinx, a programmable semiconductor (FPGA) company, KakaoCloud jointly developed SmartNICs and researched high-performance infrastructure for its cloud-native architecture. KakaoCloud also continues to work with leading global companies in AI and high-performance data center infrastructure.

Investment and achievements​

Cloud services continually evolve and must adapt to changing customer needs. Developing high-performance hardware and applying it directly to cloud services differentiates KakaoCloud from other domestic cloud providers. KakaoCloud continues to invest in hardware research and development to improve cloud service performance.

Exceptional performance and cost-effective computing services​

KakaoCloud provides a range of high-performance computing services based on the latest hardware and an optimized infrastructure architecture. Customers can use KakaoCloud computing services with strong performance at competitive prices. BCS instance prices are approximately 80–85% of competitors' prices, with additional discounts available through various pricing policies.

Broad selection of services​

KakaoCloud Beyond Compute Service (BCS) provides a range of instances that let you configure compute, memory, storage, and networking resources for different business needs. Available instance types include General purpose, Compute optimized, Memory optimized, Accelerated computing, and Video transcoding instances.

Competitive GPU services​

KakaoCloud focuses on securing the latest hardware and developing high-performance computing services to provide the widest range of GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) instances among domestic cloud service providers (CSPs). GPU instances are also offered at approximately 80–90% of competitors' prices for comparable specifications.

Enhanced security measures​

KakaoCloud provides robust security features to protect customer data and assets. Continuous event monitoring, security trend and vulnerability information, and monthly security monitoring reports help customers operate their businesses in a stable and secure cloud environment. Security specialists and supporting services provide an additional layer of protection for cloud users.

Expedited technical support​

Technical specialists provide customer support to respond quickly to service disruptions and other issues. The Helpdesk provides an additional channel for prompt and efficient technical support.

Service target audience​

Cloud computing offers many business benefits, but building and managing cloud infrastructure can be complex. The challenge can be especially significant for enterprises, public institutions, medium-sized and large online retailers, and companies entering global markets.
KakaoCloud is a public cloud available to any user. For a detailed consultation, submit a consultation and adoption inquiry.

Cloud infrastructure development​

Building infrastructure involves challenges related to cost, time, technology, and resources. KakaoCloud technical consulting services help customers design and build cloud infrastructure architectures that fit their requirements and goals. Professional consultants recommend cloud services and infrastructure migration best practices tailored to each organization.

Security-conscious enterprises or public institutions​

Security is one of the most important aspects of a cloud service. If security concerns are preventing your organization from adopting cloud services, KakaoCloud technical consultants can help you understand your security requirements and implement appropriate controls and monitoring mechanisms.

Companies that want efficient infrastructure​

Cloud computing provides the flexibility and scalability needed to use infrastructure resources efficiently. KakaoCloud technical consulting services analyze customer requirements, select suitable cloud resources, and recommend ways to implement automation and scaling. This helps companies optimize infrastructure costs, adjust resources flexibly, and maintain high availability and performance.

E-commerce companies​

Medium-sized and large online retailers need stable, scalable infrastructure to handle high traffic and transaction volumes. KakaoCloud technical consulting services assess traffic patterns and requirements, then recommend an architecture that covers performance optimization, load balancing, caching strategies, and database management. This helps improve the user experience and ensure reliable transaction processing.

Companies that need multi-channel communication services​

Using channels such as SMS, push notifications, and email helps companies communicate effectively with customers and improve customer satisfaction.

Service release policy​

KakaoCloud services progress through the following release stages before becoming fully available products:

  • Alpha version: An early version provided for Proof of Concept (POC) or testing purposes before productization. It is limited to specific customers.

  • Beta version: A version released after partially meeting planning or business requirements.

  • GA (General Availability) version: The final version that fully meets planning and business release requirements. Its stability and scalability have been validated.
