According to AI TIMES, Kakao said on September 22 that it had reduced cooling power costs by about 23% year over year by revising the cooling method at the Hanam data center operated by LG CNS. The move is seen as an example of extending heat-management experience gained at the Ansan data center to a leased facility, with operational stability maintained without replacing equipment. Kakao said it has accumulated ways to reduce the environmental burden of data centers by refining cooling, air conditioning, and power operations together. This time, based on actual operating data and site conditions, it readjusted the standards for computer room temperatures and chilled water operations. It also added LG CNS's operational know-how and AI-based autonomous control in some areas to verify stability step by step. Kakao said it will extend this approach to other leased data center environments and continue eco-friendly operations.
Perspective
The significance of this case lies in showing that data center efficiency improvements can be achieved not only through large-scale equipment investment, but also through more precise adjustments to operating methods. In particular, the fact that a method verified in an in-house facility was moved to a leased facility can be read as a signal that its scope of application is expanding. In the industry, operational capabilities that lower energy burdens without compromising stability are likely to become even more important as a source of competitiveness. The approach of combining AI as a support tool with on-site operations also offers a glimpse of future efficiency models.
