Microsoft Awards Gold in Asia

Aug 23, 2002

Microsoft started its Gold Certification for Hosting and Application Services program two years ago. While ten service providers have met Microsoft’s requirements, no Asia-based companies have qualified for either application or infrastructure management services.

That changed earlier this week when Korea Telecom announced it has been gold-certified by Microsoft for its managed Web hosting service.

According to Microsoft, the certification is designed to recognize providers that have demonstrated the capability to deliver a consistent, high-quality hosted or outsourcing service built on Microsoft technology.

To receive Gold Certification, Korea Telecom said it underwent an audit process to ensure that it could demonstrate the following:

  • Convenience of Internet data center service applications
  • Customer satisfaction regarding data center service usage
  • Swiftness and convenience of data center facility and operation
  • Objectivity of planning and development of data center service.

    Korea Telecom also reported that auditors interviewed Internet data center users and completed on-site inspections.

    Other service providers that have achieved Microsoft Gold certification include Digex, divine, Genuity Apptix, Equant, ManagedOps.com, Netstore, Qwest, USA.NET and USinternetworking.
