KT Cloud has been selected as the preferred negotiation partner for the Korea Post's cloud-based internet PC (DaaS) project. As the public DaaS market expands, KT Cloud has emerged as the top contender over NHN Cloud, increasing its chances of securing a significant public cloud reference.
According to procurement industry sources on July 8, the Korea Post's Information Management Center announced that it had selected KT Cloud as the preferred negotiation partner following a proposal evaluation. Both KT Cloud and NHN Cloud participated in the bidding process.
The project is valued at approximately 12.66 billion won, with a contract period of about five years. The selected provider will establish and operate cloud-based internet PC services within the Korea Post's work environment.
KT Cloud will now enter negotiations with the Information Management Center regarding technology and pricing. Once negotiations are finalized, a contract will be signed, and the Information Management Center will proceed with transferring related demands, allowing the project to commence.
This project is being pursued through a 'negotiated contract' method, which considers both technical and price evaluations in selecting the preferred negotiation partner. Therefore, the selection does not immediately equate to a contract signing; if negotiations conclude successfully, KT Cloud will be confirmed as the final provider.
This contract is significant as it adds a major DaaS reference for KT Cloud in the public cloud market. With the expansion of projects transitioning public institutions to cloud-based virtual desktops, KT Cloud is expected to enhance its competitiveness in the public cloud sector through this initiative.
