[🗂Case Study] Hanwha Life: enjoy advantages of on-premise and public cloud at once with building hybrid cloud!

Hello, this is NAVER Cloud Platform on ncloud.com, the cloud that anyone can easily start using.

Hanwha Life, the first insurance company in Korea, adopted NAVER Cloud’s technologies to build its core system with hybrid cloud.

In other words, they prepared a foundation on which they can lead digital service competitions by replacing the old on-premise infrastructure environment used for past 17 years.

To provide services more stably and efficiently while meeting fastidious financial security compliances, the choice Hanwha Life made was none other than…

NAVER Cloud Platform’s Cloud as a Service (CaaS) product, Neurocloud

This case is significant as the first case to transition a core financial work system to the cloud. Today, we’ll introduce you to the case of Hanwha Life, building hybrid cloud.👀

Challenge: What were the challenges for Hanwha Life?

Q1. We want to run our customer information DB stably while maintaining the fastidious financial security policies.

Q2. We want to respond flexibly to the changes of demands from customers/market.

Q3. We want to manage our expenses effectively (as inexpensive as possible…)

Task: NAVER Cloud’s goal to resolve the problems!

1. Conversion of the legacy core business system into the cloud

2. Setting up the existing insurance core system’s infrastructure that has been built on-premise

in the form of hybrid cloud integrated with NAVER Cloud Platform

Solution — Neurocloud (CaaS; Cloud as a Service)

Neurocloud is a hybrid, customer-only cloud managed directly by NAVER Cloud.

✅ Installation of customer-only cloud
✅ Full remote management
✅ Installation of dedicated hardware

We have built and are running a redundant DB, non-interruption service of Neurocloud, our hybrid cloud product, and the on-premise environment within Hanwha Life’s data center.

By building dedicated hardware within the client’s data center and installing NAVER Cloud Platform on it for security of important data and core services, it became possible to embrace the advantages of both a public cloud and on-premise server.

Did Neurocloud manage to resolve the challenges faced by Hanwha Life?

The answer is YES.

❗️Advantages of on-premise

👉 A1. Securing “data sovereignty” while complying with Personal Information Protection Act

❗️Advantages of the cloud

👉 A2. Developed all legacy work into a container environment based on Micro Service Architecture (MSA), the first in the insurance industry to do so, and completed a structural improvement for swift responses by dividing it into agile work units.

It can accommodate new technologies and respond quickly to domestic financial regulations, both of which change, as it is based on verified standard equipment and solutions run by NAVER financial cloud center, as well as benefited by constant software updates and customized management.

👉A3. Maximization of resource operation efficiency with monthly payment based on usage
