Dongkuk Steel IT service corporations Dongkuk Systems said on the 23rd that it opened the DK AX Center (DK Center) to support hands-on experience and validation of artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure and began a full-fledged expansion of its AI business.
The DK Center was built to let users experience AI infrastructure that combines technology from U.S. Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) and U.S. Juniper Networks.
It is equipped with AI infrastructure based on the latest graphic processor unit (GPU) clusters, as well as training and a proof of concept (PoC, verification before a new technology launch) environment.
Through this, client companies can demonstrate the full range of infrastructure for AI training and inference and pre-validate the feasibility of building AI infrastructure and solutions tailored to real work environments.
Based on the DK Center, Dongkuk Systems plans to strengthen its execution capabilities in the AX (AI transformation) market while continuing its enterprise IT business strategy built on HPE.
The DK Center opening ceremony was held at 5 p.m. on the 17th at Dongkuk Systems' headquarters in Jung-gu, Seoul. The event was attended by Dongkuk Systems CEO Kim O-ryeon and HPE CEO Kim Young-chae, along with key executives and employees from both companies.
At the opening ceremony, CEO Kim O-ryeon said, "The DK Center is not a space only for Dongkuk Systems but a place where HPE, partner companies, and client companies come together to discuss and experience AI transformation," adding, "It will become a key hub for implementing the AX business."
HPE CEO Kim Young-chae said, "We expect this center to play a meaningful role in AI business and enterprise IT."
