South Korean automobile manufacturer Hyundai Motor Group has deployed its dedicated private cloud platform, HCloud, within Equinix data centres.
The aim is to deliver enhanced in-car services, including personalised driving experience for over 10 million connected car service (CCS) subscribers.
Hyundai Motor Group, which includes Hyundai, Kia, and Genesis, currently aims to double the number of CCS subscribers by 2026.
Its connected car platform delivers infotainment, remote services, and mobile applications via wireless networks.
The Equinix collaboration enables the group to improve app responsiveness and service delivery.
Hyundai Motor Group’s VP and head of IT infra, Youngjoo Han, said by leveraging Equinix's global data centres, the group provides high-quality connected car services.
This helps improve user experience through reduced latency, stable global connectivity and enhanced scalability of the HCloud platform, Han added.
The group is leveraging Equinix International Business Exchange (IBX) data centres across Asia, the United States, and Europe, and Equinix Fabric.
It will help interconnect HCloud to multiple public cloud providers, including Amazon Web Services (AWS).
This hybrid multicloud architecture accelerates the global rollout of CCS.
Equinix Korea's managing director, Chris Jang, said through a hybrid multicloud infrastructure, auto manufacturers can take advantage of cloud services while maintaining the flexibility to choose between secure, dedicated colocation infrastructure and scalable cloud services for each workload support.
