[Digital Today reporter Chi-gyu Hwang] South Korean IT infrastructure and solutions distributor Daol TS has obtained a technical qualification to deploy "Dell Private Cloud with DAP (Dell Private Cloud with DAP, DPC)" and is speeding up its push into the private cloud market.

According to the company, DPC is a private cloud platform built on Dell PowerEdge servers and storage, and is suitable for mid-sized and large companies that feel the limits of existing HCI (hyperconverged infrastructure) in an environment where AI and data workloads are increasing.

It supports companies in implementing cloud-level agility and scalability in their own data centres and provides an environment in which they can choose from various software stacks, including VMware vSphere and Red Hat OpenShift.

The core is DAP (Dell Automation Platform), an integrated automation platform consisting of a portal, orchestrator and blueprints. It simplifies the infrastructure build process by using validated blueprints (infrastructure and application configuration templates) and can reduce steps by up to 90 percent compared with existing manual work, enabling a cloud environment to be built within hours.

Daol TS plans to expand its DPC business based on a recently established "cloud native" specialist organisation. It plans to actively expand customised infrastructure buildouts for corporate customers and business to support transitions to AI environments.

Hong Jeong-hwa (홍정화), Daol TS CEO, said, "In the AI era, data processing performance and infrastructure flexibility are key factors that determine corporate competitiveness," and added, "By combining this technical qualification with cloud-native expertise, we will take the lead in customers' digital transformation and the buildout of next-generation AI infrastructure."
