Orchestro Wins Jeonnam-Gwangju External Network Cloud Contract

Orchestro will replace aging VMware-based virtualization at the Muan government building with its domestic CONTRABASS platform, building a private cloud for the external network.

Korean AI infrastructure software company Orchestro has won a contract to replace the aging external-network virtualization system at the Muan government building of the Jeonnam-Gwangju Special City. The company announced the deal on the 6th. It will build a private cloud on its server virtualization solution, CONTRABASS. The contract value was not disclosed.

Virtualization splits one physical server into several virtual machines. In Korean public agencies and corporate data centers, VMware products have long been the de facto standard. Orchestro has focused on so-called "post-VMware" projects, replacing that software with its own. Last year it converted the internal network of the former South Jeolla Province, applying CONTRABASS and its cloud operations platform VIOLA to replace the existing foreign virtualization environment.

Why the external network matters

The project aims to make administrative services at the Muan building more stable. It also prepares for the information system integration expected to follow the merger of Gwangju and South Jeolla administrations. Running the same domestic virtualization solution on both internal and external networks lets the two environments be operated to a single standard.

Orchestro will migrate the existing VMware-based virtual servers to the new CONTRABASS cloud and set up an environment where server resources can be scaled up or down with workload. It will also handle maintenance after the switch. The company says it has technical teams in four regions, Gwangju, Daejeon, Daegu and Busan, and supports customers nationwide with more than 200 partner firms.

CEO Kim Beom-jae said that as the move away from VMware accelerates across the country, the company plans to expand cloud transition projects to metropolitan governments nationwide, drawing on its proven deployment experience and regional support network.
