“Considering the orders we have so far obtained from the public sector, we expect to easily meet the annual sales target for this year,” which was set at 160 billion won, said Kim Dong-hoon, the co-CEO of NHN Cloud, on Tuesday. “We aim to rake in 800 billion won in sales by 2026.”
The company has already secured 30-40 percent of the country’s entire cloud orders for the public sector this year, Kim said, expecting the company’s sales would grow at pace doubled compared to an annual 30 percent growth rate on average.
“The private sector accounted for about 60 percent while the public sector 40 percent. But orders from the public sector have been growing at must faster pace,” Kim said.
The Korean public cloud market has been rapidly growing since last year, becoming a very important market for cloud service providers (CSPs). The market size is estimated to be worth at least 400 billion won this year, including a 240 billion won worth government project to implement cloud system at the Ministry of the Interior and Safety.
To meet the goal, it plans to add more cloud data centers across the country. It is currently seeking to build data centers in Gwangju, Kimhae in South Gyeongsang Province, and Suncheon in South Jeolla Province.
NHN Cloud expects regional cloud data centers to also create quality jobs in non-Seoul areas.
The company is confident about expanding its presence in the local cloud market with specialized OpenStack solutions. OpenStack is an open-source platform that develops and manages both private and public clouds.
“While companies such as AWS focus more on universal cloud service that can be applied to industries across the board, NHN Cloud has emphasized the development of specialized OpenStack solutions that carter to the needs of specific industries such as e-commerce or finance,” said Kim.
Beyond Korea, NHN Cloud plans to expand its business overseas starting with Japan. NHN Cloud aims to promote its Gamebase service, which helps developers launch their own games, in the U.S. and Japan.
