According to the Korea Electrotechnology Research Institute (KERI) on March 10, its Desktop as a Service (DaaS) technology, which allows data access regardless of location and time, was selected as the first international standard for cloud computing. The decision was made at an ITU-T Focus Group on Cloud Computing (FG Cloud) meeting in Geneva, Switzerland on Feb. 28. 

This technology is a cloud service in which the back-end of a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) is hosted by a cloud service provider, providing users with services for desktop use, rather than simply providing storage space as Webhard.co.kr does.

Hence, it is possible for users to see their desktop and search documents through a connection to the VDI via the Internet. This means that users can have access to their files and programs anywhere, even when logging in during an overseas business trip. 

The technology standard defines the requirements for DaaS, and Korea has a right to edit the standard. ETRI said that it is planning to make a strenuous effort to develop international standards for the service and reference structures of DaaS.
