We are deploying, operating, and managing
IT infrastructure effectively through close
relationships between service developers
(NAVER, LINE, etc.) and the IT service
provider (NBP). Thanks to the recent Ntree
version upgrade, usability for developers
and the efficiency of IT service providers
has improved, resulting in even better IT
service provision.
We have made the best use of our long-
term experience operating large-volume IT
infrastructure and, based on these skills,
have utilized various self-developed
solutions to maximize operating efficiency
and productivity. We have been working to
develop the best solutions for IT
management and operation, such as Event
Monitoring, Configuration, Process
Management. Information Dashboards,
Access Control and Security solutions, and
Provisioning Solutions.
In the process of operating the IT
infrastructure of the nation’s largest
Internet service provider, we have
established one of the top IDCs in the world,
based on our own technologies. We, have
ushered in a new era in IT facilities by
utilizing secure and green sites, high-tech
ventilating systems and renewable energy.

security system and a comprehensive
security policy, including security
inspection and analysis, security solutions,
