SK hynix – Together We Innovate

Our Partner

GIT(Goodmorning Information Technology Co. Ltd.) was established in 2004 to provide the best IT solutions and consulting services to the enterprise customers for their efficiency of IT infrastructures. GIT has more than 500 customers in many areas such as manufacturing, government and financial industries in Korea.

Goodmorning Information Technology led key technical tests, and critical SDDC design groundwork that identified how the private cloud should allocate or automate resources to SK hynix’s engineers
As a long-time partner of VMware, GIT was able to provide SK hynix with trusted VMware offerings so they benefited from deployments that improved business processes and outcomes

The Story

SK hynix, a leading global semiconductor manufacturer, accelerated the digital transformation by embracing the private cloud. Thanks to its partnership with GIT and VMware, cloud migration and automation helped SK hynix speed up the time to develop or launch applications. This supported the business, and simplified provisioning of IT services to employees, who could now access resources through a self-service portal.

SK hynix was primed for growth and innovation, looking to stay ahead of evolving trends and developments within the Information and Communications Technology industry. In order to improve their overall organizational competitiveness, they saw the need for a flexible and stable digital infrastructure to service future expansion. Their existing IT system required 24- hour monitoring to ensure smooth production and with a lean engineering team it was impossible to respond to the sheer number of potential events, over 2 million a day in a single plant. This challenge was compounded by the legacy IT system environment, which meant that these limitations were encountered more regularly. It also meant slow response times.

To address these challenges and effectively respond to competition within the industry, SK hynix decided to partner with GIT and VMware to introduce a cloud-based infrastructure, leveraging VMware’s SDDC. With the support of GIT, the team developed over 50 automation workflows to implement an IT infrastructure optimized for SK hynix. By switching to a software-defined server, storage, and network environment with VMware Cloud Foundation, SK hynix’s IT department could access to an enhanced cloud management platform. This translated to a more effective response in real-time on devices, anytime, and anywhere. Providing a SDDC-based cloud infrastructure significantly reduced time for employees to retrieve and implement resources via a self-service portal.

Simplified resource recovery and budget maximization with more accurate forecasting of resources and future demands.
Significant reduction in time to retrieve and implement resources – from 2 weeks to 2 days.
An optimal environment to accelerate manufacturing within a short period utilising the renewed digital infrastructure.
Following the success of its cloud-based infrastructure implementation, SK hynix plans to accelerate its digital transformation journey with its partners including improving employee experience utilising VMware vSphere 7 Bitfusion™ and other partner technology.
