LS Electric and KT Cloud signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) on the 2nd to establish a strategic partnership for AI data centers. The two companies said the agreement was aimed at accelerating their push into the rapidly growing AI data center infrastructure market.
The agreement was pursued in response to expanding demand for AI data center infrastructure. The two companies plan to strengthen the competitiveness of their AI data center businesses by stepping up cooperation on the design and supply of power equipment and by deepening exchanges on next-generation technologies.
In particular, they refined the scope of cooperation in line with the trend toward larger and more power-hungry AI data centers. The two companies will begin joint research into core power solutions for optimizing next-generation AI data center infrastructure environments and building modular data centers.
They also agreed to collaborate from the early design stage. Through this, they have created a structure for jointly pushing ahead with preparations for power infrastructure that can respond to changing data center environments.
LS Electric plans to supply key power equipment in a timely and stable manner for KT Cloud's new AI data center projects. The items to be supplied are ultra-high-voltage transformers, gas-insulated switchgear (GIS), and switchboards.
LS Electric said modular data centers are built by precisely manufacturing standardized server rooms, power supply networks, and cooling modules at a factory before assembling and installing them on site. It added that, compared with conventional reinforced-concrete construction methods, modular data centers can significantly shorten construction periods and allow flexible expansion as needed.
Citing the explosive rise in power demand driven by the spread of generative AI, LS Electric said stable and efficient high-power infrastructure technology is a core competitiveness factor that determines the success or failure of data centers.
LS Electric emphasized that the partnership with KT Cloud will strengthen its ability to respond to next-generation AI data center technologies and solidify its market dominance. It said it plans to expand future supply items to include uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems and air conditioning systems.
