✦ AI Summary
Union Biometric is expanding its push into the AIDC security market with a biometric access control system.
The government is expanding investment in AIDC projects, and domestic companies and global big tech are pushing ahead with AI data center investments on a scale of about 5GW and 2 million GPUs.
Union Biometric plans to respond to expanding government and private-sector AI infrastructure investment based on its cases at data centers in France and new data centers in North America.
Union Biometric is expanding its push into the AIDC (AI Datercenter) market with a biometric access control system. The strategy is aimed at responding to the government-led expansion of AIDC development projects. Union Biometric said on the 9th that it plans to widen its push into the AIDC security market in line with the government's three major mega-projects for a great leap forward.
The government has recently been increasing investment in AIDC projects. According to government announcements, domestic companies and global big tech are pushing ahead with AI data center investments on a scale of about 5GW and 2 million GPUs.
AWS is expanding its business to major domestic hubs based on its Ulsan AI data center. SKT, Nvidia, and Anthropic are also pursuing cooperation on building and investing in GW-scale AI data centers. In line with this market expansion trend, Union Biometric is widening supply opportunities for its biometric access control system and expanding its push into the AIDC security market.
Union Biometric said it expects AIDC projects to evolve beyond simple construction into a large-scale AI infrastructure ecosystem involving security companies, and plans to respond proactively to market demand with its biometric access control system. The company said it will use biometric technologies such as facial recognition and fingerprint recognition, and link access control, access privileges, and authentication history management functions to support an integrated security framework tailored to the AIDC environment.
According to the company, the system can verify the actual identity of entrants through biometric terminals and allow access privileges to be set by user, organization, and zone. It can also establish a tiered authentication system for key secure areas such as general areas, server rooms, control rooms, power facilities, and cooling systems, while enabling central real-time collection and management of authentication and access records generated at terminals. The company said this allows security incidents to be traced through records of entrants and access history, and that biometric-based verification of actual entrants can reduce the risk of unauthorized access caused by card lending, loss, or shared privileges.
Union Biometric supplied and built an AI-based intelligent biometric security system at the Lyon and Grenoble data centers operated by French data center operator Data One. It is also seeking additional deployment of its biometric access control solution at new data centers in North America, including Vineland, New Jersey. In addition, Union Biometric is working to expand its overseas data center references.
The government's AI data center investment is expanding into joint projects with global big tech companies. Against this backdrop, the company expects its business opportunities to grow as it has experience building security systems for overseas data centers.
An Union Biometric official said that because AI data centers are facilities concentrated with high-value computing equipment and core data of countries and companies, a security system that accurately manages the actual identity of entrants and their access privileges is essential. The official added that the company plans to actively respond to expanding government and private-sector investment in AI infrastructure based on its references in supplying data center security solutions in South Korea and overseas.
