– Build a private cloud for game developers , ensure stability and flexibility
– Kubernetes-friendly microservice architecture, minimizing development and testing time and likelihood of failure
VMware Korea (CEO In-ho Jeon), a leader in the enterprise software sector, announced on the 9th that it has successfully completed the construction of a private cloud for game developers of NCSoft Co., Ltd. (CEO Taek-jin Kim, hereinafter referred to as NC) with its partner E-Tech System Co., Ltd.
NC decided to build a private cloud that ensures stability and flexibility in order to continuously provide the environment necessary for game development and testing. VMware Cloud Foundation, Tanzu Basic, vCloud Suite Standard, and vSAN Advanced were applied to this project, which was conducted from August 2018 to June 2021.
The main feature of NC’s private cloud is to operate, manage, and distribute virtual machines (VMs) and Kubernetes-based services in existing data centers. By adopting a Kubernetes-friendly microservice architecture, it provides a cloud for each function (or service) required for game development and testing and prevents any influence between services. Developers can experience the benefits of reducing development and testing time and reducing the possibility of failure when preparing for a large-scale game launch or patch update.
NC plans to implement automation in its private cloud in the future to quickly meet the needs of game developers.
Jang Jin-hyuk, head of NC’s IT Infrastructure Department, said, “Private cloud is the technological foundation NC needs to expand its customer contacts in the global market and lead market changes.” He added, “Close cooperation with VMware is fast and at the time developers want.” “We will provide automated development infrastructure,” he explained.
In-ho Jeon, President of VMware Korea, said, “I am glad that VMware is playing the role of an IT strategic advisor in the digital journey of NC, which is attracting attention from many people around the world with its rich game content. NCSoft’s private cloud enables efficient data operation. “We will faithfully support our aggressive global market penetration.”
