Overview

Service Overview

The Dedicated Cloud service is a service that provides cloud infrastructure built exclusively for the customer at the customer’s own facilities, using the cloud services offered by Samsung Cloud Platform. It is a service that configures both the cloud management area and the customer resource area on-premises, making it suitable for customers who require a high level of security controls and regulatory compliance.

Notice

When using the Dedicated Cloud air-gap service, some products and features may be restricted, and a dedicated operations service is required.
Dedicated Cloud service is built directly on infrastructure by SDS, so it cannot be configured on customer equipment.

Features

Customer-dedicated cloud environment setup: We provide cloud services by building a customer-dedicated infrastructure with the same architecture as the Samsung Cloud Platform at the facility (on-premises) designated by the customer. * Depending on the customer’s security requirements, the cloud management platform can be offered as a dedicated environment for the client and can address regulatory and security constraints.
- The customer provides the floor space, power, and network connectivity required for cloud infrastructure setup at the designated facility, and SDS configures the Samsung Cloud Platform, including hardware and software, to deliver a fully managed service.
Dedicated Cloud air-gap service provision If complete isolation from external (Internet and Samsung Cloud Platform) is required due to data sovereignty and high-level regulatory requirements, you can build a Dedicated Cloud service by applying an Air‑gap option that does not require a connection to external (SDS, Internet). At this stage, dedicated operational staff are dispatched to support operations within the client’s organization.
Service operation and operation support system connection: To ensure continuous maintenance and upgrades of cloud services, SDS operational staff operate by continuously monitoring the infrastructure and services built at the customer’s facilities.

Component

Dedicated Cloud consists of the cloud management area (Control Plane) and the customer resource area (Data Plane).

Cloud Management Plane (Control Plane)

It is a core area responsible for centralized management and control of cloud infrastructure and services, handling virtual resource provisioning and automation, user authentication and authorization, monitoring, and policy configuration. The cloud management domain is physically separated from the customer resource domain and operates independently.

Notice

The cloud infrastructure of Dedicated Cloud is installed separately at the client site, but it is connected to the SDS Center via a dedicated line for common service maintenance and integrated management (however, it is not connected in the case of Dedicated Cloud air-gap).
Users can deploy resources to the customer resource domain and store user data by using the various services and features provided by the Samsung Cloud Platform through the Console.
Even if a problem occurs in the cloud management domain, the resources and data deployed in the customer resource domain are not affected; however, constraints may arise for some services provided in the cloud management domain.

Customer Resource Area (Data Plane)

This is the area where virtual resources (virtual servers, virtual networks, storage, databases, etc.) required to configure the customer’s system are created and where customer data is stored.

Compute: Virtual Server, Bare Metal Server(option), GPU Server(option) etc
Storage: Block Storage, File Storage, Object Storage, Backup, etc.
Network: VPC, Security Group, Load Balancer, Firewall etc.
Database: PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, EPAS etc.

Notice

By default, this is the area where IaaS and PaaS services are created and deployed, and to use certain specialized services (GPU Server, Multi-node GPU Cluster, high‑performance File Storage, etc.), you must select the extension option.
In the public version, some Network services may not be available.

Rack configuration

The Dedicated Cloud service consists of a cloud management area and a customer resource area, and each area requires 11 dedicated racks.

Category	Rack configuration	Power capacity per rack
Cloud Management Area	7 items	Minimum: 5 kwh Maximum 11 kWh
Customer Resource Area	4 Basic configuration: Network 2, Compute 2 Additional configuration: CPU, GPU, high‑performance storage, etc. can be added	Minimum: 5 kwh Maximum 11 kWh

Provided specifications

During the consultation process for adopting Dedicated Cloud, resources can be configured according to the customer’s desired setup, and the default specifications provided are as follows. (Additional configuration options require discussion)

Category	Basic specifications	Explanation
Computing(Total vCPU)	CPU 300 vCore Memory 4 TB	With the default configuration, two Hosts are provided, and additional Hosts can be added one at a time (each Host offers 150 vCore virtual servers and 2 TB of memory) The total vCPU count is calculated by including all services delivered on virtual‑server foundations such as Virtual Server, Database, and Kubernetes Worker Node

Constraints

Since the Samsung Cloud Platform continuously upgrades its services and features, the regulations and requirements for platform deployment and service maintenance must be met to keep the service running smoothly.

For the Dedicated Cloud air-gap option service, a deployment system configuration and dedicated operations staff service are required for service maintenance and upgrades.
The floor space, power and HVAC, and infrastructure for connecting the customer’s network required for Dedicated Cloud installation must be provided by the customer according to the specified standards.
Platform updates and upgrades
- Software upgrades for Dedicated Cloud and Dedicated Cloud Air-gap services include the entire stack, encompassing related device drivers, firmware, operating system, platform software, cloud service additions, and feature upgrades.
- To use the added services and features, additional hardware and software may be required beyond the existing installed infrastructure, and additional costs may be incurred at that time.
- Upgrades and patches for the Samsung Cloud Platform are a shared responsibility between cloud service operators and users.
- Dedicated resources configured for the client must be connected to the SDS Center via a dedicated line for service delivery and operational management (dedicated line costs are billed separately).
- If external connections are unavailable due to security and regulatory requirements, you can choose the Air‑gap option; however, some services and features will be limited (metering/billing, SMS sending, etc.).
