SK Telecom deploys Juniper Networks virtualization security for cloud computing
June 19, 2012
SEOUL, South Korea -- Juniper Networks (NYSE: JNPR), the industry leader in network innovation, today announced that SK Telecom (NYSE: SKM) (KSE: 017670) has become the first customer in Korea to deploy Juniper's virtualization security solution for private and public clouds. By leveraging Juniper Networks'® vGW Virtual Gateway with Juniper Networks' SRX Series Services Gateways, SK Telecom has been able to deliver broad cloud security across its physical and virtual network environments, enabling a comprehensive, automated approach to cloud-based data center protection that supports dynamic service delivery.
SK Telecom is South Korea's dominant mobile service provider with more than 26 million customers, representing over 50 percent market share. In November 2010, SK Telecom launched T cloud biz, a corporate cloud computing service geared toward small to medium-sized businesses. Since it launched the country's first 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) service in July 2011, the company also introduced T Cloud, a B2C cloud service portfolio optimized for the 4G LTE network, including mass data storage/transmission, multi-screen synchronization and cloud-based social networking at speeds matching that of the fixed-line broadband in September 2011.
"The combination of our 4G LTE network, the latest smartphones and highly-automated cloud data center operations opens up a universe of new and dynamic service opportunities. vGW, Juniper Networks' virtualization security solution, is a key element in enabling our service vision since it automatically maintains consistent security down to the virtual machine level and adapts in response to the variation in workload demands placed on our cloud data center," said SungShik Won, Senior Vice President and Head of Enterprise Consulting Office, SK Telecom.
