LG CNS is partnering with global AI infrastructure leader Dell Technologies to expand into domestic and international AI infrastructure markets. LG CNS announced on the 11th that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Dell Technologies for AI infrastructure cooperation at its Magok headquarters.
AI implementation requires △data processing hardware (servers/storage) △control software △applications for AI service execution. The AI infrastructure business is responsible for hardware and control software construction, with key components including high-performance GPU servers, high-capacity storage, networks, GPU virtualization software, and AI data center facilities.
Through this agreement, LG CNS will strengthen its AI infrastructure technological capabilities and participate as a Korean AX (Enterprise AI Transformation) partner in Dell Technologies’ ‘Dell AI Factory’ open ecosystem. Dell AI Factory is an open ecosystem that supports various AI use cases by combining partners’ AI implementation technologies with Dell’s servers, storage, and software.
Both companies will form a joint AI infrastructure council to carry out AI infrastructure projects and maintain continuous technical exchanges. Additionally, LG CNS will utilize Dell Technologies’ AI infrastructure training program to cultivate experts in AI infrastructure facilities and solutions.
Moving forward, both companies will expand their collaboration into AI solutions and services based on their AI infrastructure cooperation. In particular, they are actively discussing ways to combine LG CNS’s generative AI technology ‘DAP GenAI Platform’ and LG AI Research’s large language model ‘EXAONE’ with Dell AI Factory.
Meanwhile, considering AI business growth, LG CNS is continuously expanding investments not only in AI applications but also in AI infrastructure. Since 2022, the company has been operating a technical organization for advanced hardware infrastructure businesses such as High-Performance Computing (HPC), securing AI infrastructure construction capabilities.
LG CNS CEO Shin-Kyun Hyun stated, “Starting in 2025, we will accelerate customer value innovation through generative AI across various industries including finance, manufacturing, retail, and telecommunications,” adding that “AI infrastructure is an important foundation for this, and we will focus on securing the strongest technological capabilities through close cooperation with global leader Dell Technologies.”
Kyung-Jin Kim, President of Dell Technologies Korea, said, “Dell Technologies is a specialist company that has led all areas of data and infrastructure solutions that are core to enterprise AI and operates the most extensive open ecosystem. The combination of Dell’s global capabilities and LG CNS’s AX expertise will serve as a catalyst for innovation for our joint customers.”
