As digital finance takes hold in the financial investment industry and the role of data centers grows more important, Koscom moved to strengthen the capital market information technology (IT) infrastructure ahead of the completion of its next-generation Anyang data center.
Koscom said on the 13th that it will advance the capital market IT infrastructure by operating computing infrastructure and disaster recovery services for the financial investment industry centered on the Anyang data center, while building the next-generation Anyang data center.
Built in 2002, Koscom's Anyang data center began as a disaster recovery center for Korea's financial sector and now serves as a comprehensive data center supporting key computing infrastructure for the financial investment industry.
It is currently providing services to more than 90 financial institutions and Fintech corporations, including ▲ disaster recovery (DR) services ▲ data center room services ▲ integrated authentication services ▲ network services.
Koscom emphasized that the Anyang data center is a finance-specialized data center that complies with financial-sector security requirements, and that it has maintained stable operations through redundancy of major facilities, regular safety inspections, and a preventive inspection framework.
To support clients' business continuity, it provides disaster recovery systems and business continuity planning (BCP) services, enabling clients to move to the BCP center and immediately resume key operations in the event of a disaster.
Koscom said the center operates a triple monitoring system 24 hours a day, 365 days a year based on a facility management system (FMS), integrates management of electrical, mechanical, and fire protection equipment, and has built an operating framework capable of responding immediately when failures occur. It added that it is also strengthening disaster response capabilities through precision air conditioning and humidity control equipment, leak detection systems, and fire detection equipment.
Koscom has also pursued construction of a next-generation Anyang data center to respond to changes in the digital finance environment. The next-generation center, which broke ground in Nov. 2024, is scheduled for completion at the end of this year and aims to be the Seoul metropolitan area's leading financial data center.
A Koscom official said, "With the completion of the new Anyang data center at the end of this year, we will continue to strengthen the competitiveness of IT infrastructure in the financial sector by operating a data center that combines stability and eco-friendliness."
