한국 IBM은 "한국에 클라우드 데이터 센터 건립을 추진하고 있으나 건설 시기 등 구체적인 계획은는 아직 정해지지 않았다"고 밝혔다.   그리고 "아마도 이르면 내년 중으로 결정될 것으로 예상한다"고 말했다. IBM은 아시아에 3곳에 데이터 센터를 건설하거나 건설 계획인데 홍콩 데이터 센터는 이미 운영 중이며 중국은 건설 중에 있다. 일본은 연말 내로 공사에 착수할 것으로 알려졌다.   IBM은 추후 15개의 추가 데이터 센터 건립를 목표로 하고 있으며 현재 12개의 소프트 레이어(CLOUD) 데이터 센터와 13개의 데이터 센터를 구축했다.   <Editor 황기철>

 

IBM plans SoftLayer center

in South Korea

 

Seoul added to SoftLayer site list, says rumor   IBM is planning to open a SoftLayer cloud data center in South Korea in 2015, according to reports.   In a $1.2 billion program, IBM is building 15 new data centers to add to its own, and those of its SoftLayer acquisition. Korea was not on the list - but IBM's SoftLayer chief apparently announced a new plan to locate there, on a revent visit, sources told ZDNet.   Going to Seoul? IBM announced its plan to build 15 new data centers in January, adding to the 12 it owned, and 13 which it had acquired with its SoftLayer subsidiary. In the new program, it has already opened or announced sites in London, Hong Kong, Paris and Melbourne, with others planned for Washington DC, Mexico, Toronot and elsewhere.   Korea has not featured on any published list so far, but a top SoftLayer exec just visited IBM's office there and sparked the story, which says the new site will be up and running in the first half of 2015.   The story may well be true as South Korea is increasing in importance, with Microsoft planning a site there, and Amazon Web Services (AWS) operating there too. IBM is reportedly getting more cloud customers in the country, and a local site would certainly help.   We're hoping to hear from IBM with confirmation either way datacenterdynamics
