LG Uplus is expanding its public cloud business by combining Amazon Web Services (AWS) global cloud infrastructure with its own network and security operations capabilities. This strategy aims to enhance the provision of AWS-based cloud services in response to the growing demand for digital transformation among public institutions.
On August 12, LG Uplus announced that it has officially registered its intermediary service, 'LG Uplus Intermediary Service for Amazon Web Services,' in the Digital Service Utilization Support System.
The Digital Service Utilization Support System is a dedicated platform for the public sector, allowing government agencies, local governments, and public institutions to search for and contract digital services related to Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Software as a Service (SaaS), and cloud support services. New services must undergo a review by the Digital Service Review Committee of the Ministry of Science and ICT before being registered in the system.
With this registration, the public sector can now utilize LG Uplus's AWS cloud infrastructure intermediary service through the Digital Service Utilization Support System. This marks a significant step for LG Uplus in establishing a foundation for expanding its public cloud business.
Leveraging its cloud construction and operational capabilities, along with its experience in managing its own communication infrastructure, LG Uplus plans to support institutions in adopting AWS services tailored to their specific standards and operational characteristics. Notable use cases include chatbots for civil service inquiries and operational support using generative AI, AI-based information search services, and database construction for managing statistical and administrative data.
However, this registration primarily serves as a stepping stone for business expansion. LG Uplus intends to utilize its existing capabilities in network, security, data, and AI transformation (AX) to propose optimal infrastructure configurations for the initial adoption of cloud services in the public sector. The company also plans to support stable service operations and efficiency improvements throughout the digital transformation process.
Jung Young-hoon, Executive Director of LG Uplus's Corporate AI Business Division, stated, "LG Uplus will support public institutions in adopting AWS cloud infrastructure more swiftly and securely, providing operational systems optimized for each institution's work environment and security requirements. We aim to establish ourselves as a key AX partner supporting the cloud-native initiatives of public institutions by leveraging our AX business capabilities and expertise in developing and operating AI services such as AICC."
