LG CNS, a South Korean digital transformation company, plans to expand into North America and Europe using a modular data center strategy. Its US subsidiary will collaborate with local partners, starting with 30 MW of power capacity, expandable to 220 MW. This approach addresses development delays linked to power constraints and skilled worker shortages.
Highlights
- LG CNS targets North American and European markets for modular data center expansion.
- US operations will begin with 30 MW capacity, expandable to 220 MW with local partners.
- Prefabricated modular components reduce construction time and mitigate power, labour issues.
- Expansion leverages supply chain built on Nvidia’s Vera Rubin for AI and cloud capabilities.
LG CNS, a South Korean digital transformation company, plans to expand its operations into North America and Europe, leveraging a modular data center strategy. Its US subsidiary will work with local partners, initiating with 30 MW of power capacity that can be expanded to 220 MW.
The company’s prefabricated modular approach involves manufacturing key data center components in advance and assembling them on site. This method aims to reduce construction time and address development delays caused by power constraints and shortages of skilled workers, as reported by ajupress.
Yoo Ki-woong, vice president of the AI and cloud division at LG CNS, stated during an earnings call on Friday that the push into North America and Europe is based on the company’s prefabricated modular data center capabilities and a supply chain built on Nvidia’s Vera Rubin.
LG CNS recently completed the construction of a 30 MW AI data center in Jakarta, Indonesia. This project was commissioned by Kuningan Mas Gemilang (KMG), a joint venture between Indonesia’s Cinarmas Group and South Korea’s Tuzarial Asset Management. The Jakarta facility supports high performance computing (HPC) using next-generation graphics processing units (GPUs).
