Metabuild enhances data connection and integration services through MESIM SaaS/gSaaS

Metabuild, a company specializing in artificial intelligence (AI) and related software (SW) products, is actively expanding the cloud-based software market by launching MESIM SaaS/gSaaS.

"MESIM SaaS/gSaaS" provides Metabuild's integrated middleware (ESB/APIG/mHUB/IoT) as a subscription-type software (SaaS) by applying Cloud Native technology. As the company transitioned from an existing on-premise-based installation product to the cloud, it optimized performance, scalability, security, monitoring, etc. for the cloud environment. Compared to the integrated software provided in the existing on-premise environment, it can reduce the cost of building and maintaining the infrastructure of customers and increase operational efficiency.

Cloud native technology refers to an architecture and development methodology optimized for a cloud environment. Cloud native technology is a technology approach that helps companies lead innovation faster and more agile in traditional IT environments and maximize business performance. For the introduction of cloud-based services, it is essential to understand and utilize cloud native technology.

'MESIM SaaS/gSaaS' provides flexible scalability by applying container-based MSA technology. Since it is cloud-based, customers can easily introduce connection and integration SW without building a separate infrastructure.

By providing a Kubernetes-based container operation environment, it can operate in the same way in various cloud environments. By applying Metabuild's AI anomaly detection model, it automatically detects linkage-related failures occurring in distributed environments and notifies managers of them, supporting stable service operation.

'MESIM SaaS/gSaaS' consists of a user and manager portal, a cloud management service for controlling and managing cloud native applications, and a monitoring service. The user portal provides a function to access through various platforms to organize a related service, and to check billing and monitor the status of the connection.

The development tool of the user portal supports the creation and expansion of linked services without separate coding by organizing and deploying various linked components with linked configuration wizards and modeling functions to easily and quickly develop linked services. The API management function of the user portal is a function to provide developed services to external organizations in the form of an open API, and provides functions such as authentication, authority, flow control, and caching to stably handle traffic generated from outside.

The manager portal provides various management functions such as user information, usage, billing inquiry, and cloud service information management. The manager portal monitors the operational status of tenants operating in the cloud and resource usage, and controls user tenants in fault or abnormal conditions so that the cloud environment can be operated stably. In addition, excessive traffic is prevented by controlling the user's access to use the cloud according to the amount of usage and billing status allocated to the user.

​

Cloud management services configure and control user tenants in a cloud-native environment, and generate and collect metering data necessary for billing in the associated services constituting the tenants. User tenants selectively configure necessary associated services as user-centered request-based self-service in conjunction with user and manager portals, and operate in a container-based multi-tenant environment.

The monitoring service collects system logs, associated logs, resource usage, events, and metrics generated in the cloud, and uses the collected data to determine whether there is an abnormality in the cloud operating environment on the monitoring screen of the user and manager portal. The collected data analyzes the user's cloud service usage pattern through the statistical analysis function to predict the necessity of expanding cloud resources and the possibility of failure and notify the user.

​

Recently, as cloud native support projects for the implementation of the digital platform government increase, the public cloud SaaS market is expected to continue to grow in the future. The digital transformation of governments and public institutions is accelerating, and private cloud technology and accumulated experiences are permeating into the digital platform government. It is expected that the government will be able to provide better services to customers as it is pursuing various policies at a rapid pace to revitalize the public cloud SaaS market.

According to Metabuild, the MESIM SaaS/gSaaS service is currently being used by many organizations, including KT MyData, the Ministry of Education's Intelligent NEIS, Incheon International Airport Corporation, and the KEENEAT music service.

The company is also pursuing a Cloud Security Assurance Program (CSAP) procedure organized by the Korea Internet & Security Agency (KISA) to strengthen the security of 'MESIM SaaS/gSaaS', and plans to obtain certification within this year and provide customers with a safer and more reliable cloud-based linked integrated service.​
