,
, ‘The Gasan AI Data Center (Gasan AI DC) is a super-scale AI infrastructure hub built to preemptively respond to the rapidly increasing demand for AI computation and data in the capital region.’,
,
, ‘kt cloud aims to secure a strategic base that can practically accelerate AI adoption and AX (AI Transformation) for domestic companies, and actively utilize it as a core infrastructure to lead the AI era.’,
,
, ‘The kt cloud Gasan AI DC is a large-scale infrastructure facility with a total floor area of about 11,046 pyeong, spanning 5 underground and 10 above-ground floors, and is equipped with a total power capacity of 40MW and an IT capacity of 26MW.’,
,
, ‘Through a design focused on high-density and ultra-high-density zones dedicated to AI computation, an environment optimized for operating high-performance AI infrastructure has been implemented.’,
,
, ‘Additionally, the dualization design of power and communication intake has strengthened system stability, providing super-fast interconnection services between centers based on a 100G-level ‘One DC’ network that interconnects eight data centers within the capital region.’,
,
, ‘To efficiently manage the heat generated in high-performance GPU servers, kt cloud has introduced ‘Liquid Cooling’ technology in Gasan AI DC, the first in a commercial data center in Korea.’,
,
, ‘This technology is based on the D2C (Direct to Chip) method, which involves attaching cold plates to GPU chips and directly contacting them with chilled water.’,
,
, ‘To this end, kt cloud has developed its own liquid cooling load to test and control the high-heat environment of latest GPU-based AI servers like the B200, completing performance verification.’,
,
, ‘In the ‘AI Innovation Center’ scheduled to open in December, various energy-saving technologies, including liquid cooling, will be demonstrated and advanced to a commercial level.’,
,
, ‘Through the Gasan AI DC, kt cloud will fully launch the nation’s first ‘Colo.AI’ service. This service is a turnkey integrated AI infrastructure service that includes customized GPU servers, dedicated networks, operating platforms, and maintenance, enabling quick and stable AI environments without the complexities of infrastructure setup.’,
,
, ‘Currently, domestic specialized AI company A and small to medium-sized financial company B are steadily utilizing Colo.AI for large-scale AI model training and service operations, proving the service’s technological capabilities and reliability through real-world cases. Moreover, clients in various industrial sectors are actively considering adopting the Colo.AI service.’,
,
, ‘Cutting-edge AI-based DC technology, developed and patented by kt cloud, is intensively applied at the Gasan AI DC. The ‘Path Finder’ solution, newly introduced at this data center, dramatically enhances power reliability by real-time monitoring of power systems and automatically executing cutoffs and recoveries.’,
,
, ‘Additionally, the automated operations platform (DIMS), capable of predicting failures based on AI analysis and automatically classifying scenarios for precise and immediate response, has been advanced using learning data, significantly improving operational quality. By providing this service to companies needing data center operations, a stable and efficient IT infrastructure management environment is supported.’,
,
, ‘Choi Ji-woong, CEO of kt cloud, stated, “The Gasan AI Data Center is expected to advance the domestic AI era and serve as a turning point for revitalizing the AI industry ecosystem. Starting with Gasan, kt cloud plans to secure infrastructure exceeding 500MW in strategic locations across Korea, including the western region, to lead the AX transformation.”\n’]
