Elice Group: "Building AI Infrastructure with Domestic Technology, Advancing GPU Utilization"

On the 15th, Elice Group announced that it held a press conference at its headquarters in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, where it unveiled its "AI Full Stack Strategy," covering every area from artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure to AI education. Elice Group plans to target the next-generation AI cloud infrastructure market with "K-PMDC," a solution fully developed with domestic technology.

Elice Group explained that, after building an AI-dedicated data center using an AI PMDC (Portable Modular Data Center) approach previously unavailable in Korea, it has also independently developed the AI cloud virtualization solution ECI (Elice Cloud Infrastructure), creating a structure that efficiently operates and utilizes large-scale GPU resources. Kim Jaewon, CEO of Elice Group, stated, "The competitiveness of AI infrastructure is not about the number of GPUs, but how effectively they are utilized," and added, "As a company that started in AI and software development, Elice Group has secured the technology to deploy infrastructure in actual services."

Elice Group has made the localization of AI infrastructure a core strategy and is actively pushing ahead with the development of next-generation AI PMDCs. By building AI data centers that incorporate the latest GPU architecture, the company aims to realize infrastructure optimized for high-performance computing environments and to establish a foundation capable of meeting rapidly growing AI demand. The AI modular data center provided by Elice Group can be constructed in about three months-significantly faster than the roughly two years typically required for conventional data centers-enabling rapid deployment and flexible scalability.

Elice Group is also working to establish a domestic AI infrastructure ecosystem through partnerships with not only global players but also major domestic companies and institutions in security, energy, network, and data sectors. In the security field, it is collaborating with AhnLab to enhance next-generation data center network security systems, while in the energy sector, it has discussed power stability and energy efficiency cooperation with Standard Energy. The company also plans to strengthen its partnership with Lesingers in the optical communication solutions area for high-performance data centers. Additionally, Elice Group is collaborating with the Korea Institute of Science and Technology Information (KISTI) on the National Data Exchange Node (NDeX) and AI networks, with MakinaRocks on ECI-based AI transformation in defense and industry, and with LG Uplus to enhance large-scale network and data center operational capabilities.

Under the vision of "Expanding the Possibilities of AI Full Stack," Elice Group is not only focusing on AI cloud infrastructure but is also accelerating artificial intelligence transformation (AX) in AI solutions and education. Based on its experience leading AX education for major corporations and schools, Elice Group will further advance AX education for enterprise leaders and professionals. In line with the AI era, the company plans to cover the entire spectrum, from generative AI to agent workflow building, aiming for true work process innovation and transformation.

CEO Kim stated, "Elice Group is the only domestic AI full-stack company to have started with an AI-based education practice platform and succeeded in building AI cloud infrastructure. By adding software technology optimized for GPU hardware, we have achieved unprecedented efficiency," and went on to say, "Through next-generation AI infrastructure built with domestic technology, we will enhance the self-sufficiency of Korea's AI ecosystem and provide a foundation for companies to achieve AI innovation without cost barriers."
