Inha University Establishes AI Data Center... Plans to Expand Second and Third Centers Including Songdo Campus

Inha University announced on December 11 that it has established an 'Artificial Intelligence (AI) Data Center' at its 60th Anniversary Hall.

The center is equipped with infrastructure capable of reliably supporting large-scale computing systems by utilizing a high-performance graphics processing unit (GPU) cluster with 800 nodes.

Inha University explained that the center was established to proactively respond to the rapidly increasing demand for AI research and to improve the safety and utilization of GPU resources, which had previously been operated inefficiently and dispersed across individual laboratories.

By the first half of next year, Inha University plans to build a second center at the Jeongseok Academic Information Center, capable of accommodating 720 GPU nodes, and to sequentially construct a large-scale, expandable third center at the Songdo Campus, ultimately completing an 'AI Infrastructure Hub' that connects the entire campus. To achieve this, a budget of 10 billion won will be invested over the next eight years.

Jo Myungwoo, President of Inha University, stated, "The establishment of the data center marks the starting point for becoming a key hub driving AI innovation in Incheon and South Korea," adding, "We will lead the AI convergence ecosystem through educational and research innovation."
