LG CNS Launches Modular Data Center "AI Box," Shortening Deployment Cycle to 6 Months

To address the high-performance computing demands driven by the global explosion of generative AI, LG CNS, the IT infrastructure services arm of the LG Group, officially launched its modular data center solution, "AI Box," on March 5th. This product, centered on "rapid deployment" and "high integration," aims to redefine the industry pain point of long construction cycles in traditional data centers.

Traditional hyperscale data center construction typically involves complex site selection, building approvals, and power infrastructure construction, with a cycle of approximately two years. AI Box, however, adopts a containerized modular design, pre-integrating power units (including UPS and transformers) and computing units (servers, GPUs, and cooling equipment) within a standard container, eliminating the need for new independent buildings and drastically reducing deployment time to 6 months. This "plug-and-play" model allows enterprises to quickly respond to market demands and flexibly expand according to business growth, significantly lowering the initial investment threshold.

In terms of technical specifications, a single AI Box module can support 1.2MW of IT load and accommodate up to 576 GPUs, optimized for high-density AI training and inference scenarios. It integrates core technologies from multiple subsidiaries of the LG Group, embodying the synergistic effect of "One LG": LG Electronics provides efficient coolant distribution units and industrial refrigeration equipment, while LG New Energy provides high-performance battery systems for uninterruptible power supplies.
