NHN announced on the 4th of this month that it will launch an independent corporation of NHN cloud service next year.
The plan was announced at the V10 Live Cloud In-house Meeting where staff of its 20 affiliates participated in virtually. The virtual meeting event was held at the NHN’s Pangyo office, Play Museum.
NHN said its average monthly revenue of cloud service surpassed KRW 10 billion, hoping to more than double that number by the launch.
The company said currently the number of client businesses of its cloud service is 3,400 and 25 or more businesses are joining every month. As of now, the cloud service provides 182 types of solutions which is three times as much as there was in 2018.
