Okestro said it will intensify its push into the AI infrastructure market based on the transition experience, customer references and its own full-stack solution it has built in the domestic VMware winback market.
Okestro's VMware winback sales in the first half rose 99.5% from a year earlier, and the number of winback customers doubled.
More than 60% of customers that adopted the server virtualization solution CONTRABASS added VIOLA and OKESTRO CMP, and Okestro plans to expand its cloud-native and AI infrastructure businesses based on that.
Okestro said on the 17th that it will intensify its push into the AI infrastructure market, based on the transition experience, customer references and its own full-stack solution it has built in the domestic VMware winback market. It cited as the basis for this policy the virtualization transition experience it has accumulated over the past 3 years in the domestic VMware winback market, the customer references it has secured, and its own full-stack solution.
Okestro's VMware winback sales in the first half rose 99.5% from a year earlier. The number of winback customers in the first half doubled.
During the same period, revenue in the financial sector increased 216%. Revenue in the private sector, including manufacturing, expanded by about 15 times over the same period.
Okestro is leading customers' infrastructure expansion after virtualization transitions. Among customers that adopted the server virtualization solution CONTRABASS, more than 60% added VIOLA and OKESTRO CMP, and as a result, the scope of deployment has expanded to container operations and multi-cloud and hybrid cloud environments.
In the financial sector, a real-world deployment case emerged in which VIOLA was applied on infrastructure built on CONTRABASS and a container environment was established. In the process, OKESTRO CMP was used to integrate management of virtualization resources and cloud resources. It also implemented development and deployment automation based on CI/CD and DevSecOps by applying the DevOps solution TROMBONE. On top of that, it linked with the AI inference operations platform CONCERTO A.I to establish an operating framework that covers GPU resources, AI models and inference services.
Based on this deployment experience, Okestro plans to continue responding to virtualization transition demand from companies and institutions that are at the time of VMware license renewals. It also plans to expand its cloud-native and AI infrastructure businesses based on the customer base and deployment experience it has secured in the winback market.
Kim Beom-jae, CEO of Okestro, said that 3 years ago, the key question was whether VMware could be reliably replaced. He added that now, beyond the transition itself, it is necessary to examine ways to expand infrastructure after the transition as well.
Kim also said Okestro intends to support that effort based on its proven virtualization transition capabilities and AI infrastructure full-stack software. He also said the company will support customers so they can decide when and what to adopt and lead the direction of infrastructure operations themselves.
Okestro has continued to win public disaster recovery (DR) projects and is involved in designing the disaster recovery framework for major national information systems. Against this backdrop, it is participating as a subcontractor in the 7th project of the '2026 Public DR Construction Information Strategy Plan (ISP)' and as the main contractor in the 8th project of the same plan.
