Equinix interconnection and digital services.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\nQaaS will provide quantum cryptography protection for private enterprise networks that connect a company\u2019s headquarters, offices and data centers on a subscription basis. By offering enhanced network security, QaaS is expected to become an essential service for companies that use data centers, enabling them to safeguard their business against increasing cybersecurity risks.<\/p>\n
So far, QKD has been mainly applied to backbone services of mobile operators. With the application of QKD to Equinix\u2019s data center, SKT successfully expands the use of QKD to data center interconnection services.<\/p>\n
Going forward, the two companies will also work to create synergies in the future data center business by leveraging Equinix\u2019s extensive knowhow in data center operation and SKT\u2019s expertise in quantum cryptography, convergence security and fixed & mobile telecommunication technologies.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs companies increasingly transform digitally, cyber attacks are becoming more sophisticated. Digital leaders need a robust digital infrastructure to navigate today\u2019s threats and stay ahead of what\u2019s next. The addition of SKT\u2019s QaaS to the Equinix ecosystem will further protect businesses and help them be better prepared to address future risks,\u201d said Chris Jang, Managing Director of Equinix Korea.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis MOU will mark the first step to creating valuable business synergies between SKT and Equinix. By combining our respective strengths, we will be able to gain leadership in the future data center business,\u201d said Ha Min-yong, Vice President and Head of Innovation Suite at SKT.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
