- First Acquisition Among Domestic Partners
- 66th Among Global Partners, Demonstrating Expertise in Advanced Azure Cloud Technology Delivery
Cloukus (CEO Hong Seong-wan) announced today that it has obtained the professional certification "Modernization of Web Applications," a specialized qualification awarded to top technical partners in advanced MS cloud technology fields. Cloukus is a consulting and management specialist company for the AI cloud platform Microsoft Azure. Last month, Cloukus acquired the advanced MS Azure certification "Migration of Windows Server and SQL Server," which covers expertise in network and infrastructure architecture, high availability and automation, and security.
The MS Azure advanced professional certification is awarded only to partners who pass rigorous technical verification confirming that their service offerings in advanced cloud technology solution areas?such as application modernization, Kubernetes, Linux, and open-source database migration?meet MS technical standards.
Cloukus’s certification is the 66th case among Microsoft’s global partners, and only 12 companies worldwide hold this certification simultaneously with the Azure Expert MSP status.
The "Modernization of Web Applications" certification requires partners to demonstrate deep knowledge and experience in migrating and modernizing production web application workloads and managing web services on Azure. It also demands advanced technical skills in implementing Azure App Service based on Micro Service Architecture (MSA), web workload deployment, application development, DevOps, cloud migration, and containers.
Based on experience gained from numerous enterprise projects with SK, CJ, Hanwha, and others, Cloukus has been recognized for its expertise in modernizing web applications, migrating and building them with containers, establishing CI/CD environments to optimize cloud development, DevOps technical capabilities, monitoring technologies for service optimization, and troubleshooting and optimizing applications composed of various programming languages.
Hong Seong-wan, CEO of Cloukus, stated, "Along with the previously acquired Azure Expert MSP certification, Cloukus has once again proven its top-tier technical capabilities that differentiate us from other partners. We will continue to dedicate ourselves as cloud navigators to ensure all customers can enjoy the benefits of the cloud based on even higher levels of technical expertise."
Jang Hong-guk, Head of Partner Business at Microsoft Korea, said, "It is meaningful to us that Cloukus, an important domestic partner of Microsoft, has proven its qualifications in advanced Azure cloud technology on a global scale. We will continue to actively support the digital transformation of domestic companies through close collaboration between both parties."
Cloukus has been selected as the only domestic service provider capable of offering enterprise-specialized Azure migration services such as "Cloud Modernization Local Factory" and "Azure Migration Service." It has proven its outstanding technical capabilities by acquiring the highest technical certifications, including the "Azure Expert MSP" certification and specialized qualifications in "Migration of Windows Server and SQL Server" and "Modernization of Web Applications." Centered on Azure, more than 80% of Cloukus’s employees are technical consultants, and the company currently holds over 150 technical certifications, all at the gold level, including core cloud competencies certified by Microsoft.
Meanwhile, Cloukus is the partner with the highest cloud sales and largest customer base among Microsoft Korea’s partners. Recently, it completed a Series A investment from SK and is jointly conducting cloud business with SK. More details about Cloukus can be found on its official website.
