Global Data Center

NAVER Cloud offers data centers across
the world to provide customers with global coverage.

NAVER Cloud Platform’s global regions comprise key locations around the world. Our goal is to help your services quickly reach every corner of the world as we continue to expand the regions.

Reliable Operations

With extensive experience in building large-scale data centers,
NAVER Cloud runs all of its data centers securely.

NAVER Cloud’s robust data centers run non-stop—24/7, 365 days a year—to ensure the reliability of your services on NAVER Cloud Platform. Drawing on the experience of building its own data center, Gak, which accommodates a whopping 120,000 servers, NAVER Cloud operates data centers located in Korea and around the globe in a secure and efficient manner. 

Safe buildings
  • · Only safe buildings, built as data centers from the outset or renovated exclusively for use as data centers, are used. The lifespan of facilities is also taken into account.
Efficient server room operation
  • · Examines rack placements and ceiling heights to ensure that servers are always run in an optimal environment.
  • · Checks whether the HVAC system is reliable and well-equipped (Tier-III level)
  • · Constructs separate cages for enhanced security
Superior network quality
  • · Checks for how easy it is to connect with communications service providers
  • · Ensures the availability of multiple communications paths both within and outside data centers
Uninterrupted power supply
  • · Checks that the external power supply is redundant to ensure reliability (Tier-III level)
  • · Checks that the power system within data centers is also redundant (Tier-III level)
  • · Checks that up to 5 kW of power is available for each rack
