KT Cloud announced on the 25th that it will be the first in the industry to establish an 'AI DC Demonstration Center' to implement future technologies for artificial intelligence (AI) and eco-friendly data centers. The AI DC Demonstration Center is intended to optimize the operation of data centers processing the surging data traffic and to verify new technologies to enhance energy efficiency.
KT Cloud will apply AI-based DC automated operation technology at the demonstration center and will conduct technical verification for optimizing operations related to power consumption, cooling, and network, as well as engage in joint technology development with partner companies. In addition, it plans to verify carbon emission reduction technologies, such as water-cooled cooling and renewable energy utilization, to ensure the sustainability of data centers.
The AI DC Demonstration Center will be established at Mokdong DC 2 Center, with the aim of opening in November this year. A tour program will be provided for corporate customers considering the introduction of data centers and cloud solutions, as well as officials from public institutions. After the opening of the demonstration center, KT Cloud will begin full-scale technical verification and operational optimization, with plans to establish an energy-independent data center environment by 2028.
Additionally, KT Cloud will lead technological innovation in the DC field, such as Digital Twin and AI operations, centered around DC Labs, and will secure technological capabilities and share results through joint development with partner companies.
