Microsoft Korea CEO Ko Soon-dong had a press conference in Seoul on May 11 and announced that Microsoft would provide more stable and fast cloud computing services by opening new data centers in Seoul and Busan early next year with demands for cloud computing services on the rise in the Asia-Pacific region including South Korea.

The construction of the new data centers constitutes its Project Natick. That in Busan is scheduled to be the first subsea data center in the world. Busan City is regarded as a perfect choice for the project in that it is home to 90% of submarine power cables in South Korea and a global cloud data center demonstration model.
