KT (formerly Korea Telecom), a provider of fixed-line, mobile carrier, and cloud services company in Korea, has launched ucloud Compute Service (ucloud CS), a public cloud in Asia-Pacific region..
The ucloud CS was built collaboratively by Cloudscaling and KT, and has a configuration of 1 virtual core / 2 GB RAM instance.
The new KT cloud features network assets, bandwidth, geographic dominance and expertise in billing and services delivery, combining a commodity cloud approach with assets.
KT Cloud Services Business Unit senior vice president Jung-sik Suh said they have several major strategic advantages that the major public clouds do not.
Cloudscaling CEO Randy Bias said using a highly automated, commodity-equipment-based, free and open-source cloud design is the only way to come close to the aggressive price and performance that the market has come to expect from leaders.
