  "account": "LG CNS has completed construction of an AI data center in Jakarta, Indonesia, marking the first time a Korean company has designed and built such a facility overseas. The 30MW-class hyperscale center began operations on November 2, serving a joint venture between Indonesia's Sinar Mas Group and Korea Investment Real Asset Management. Designed for scalable infrastructure, the data center supports next-generation GPU-based high-performance computing and features a hybrid cooling system combining air and liquid cooling to manage heat from AI servers. In the initial phase, an air-cooling method was utilized, with plans to incorporate a more efficient liquid-cooling system in subsequent stages. The power system is designed to handle over 300kW per rack, more than 60 times the typical rack capacity, ensuring stable power supply for AI computing resources. The project incorporated LG CNS's integrated \"One LG\" solution, leveraging the company's design, build, and operation (DBO) capabilities. LG CNS is currently planning a follow-up phase to expand the facility's capacity to 400MW. This overseas expansion comes as the company diversifies its business model, venturing into prefabricated modular data centers, GPU-as-a-service, and liquid-cooling infrastructure. CEO Hyun Shin-gyoon emphasized the significance of this achievement, highlighting LG CNS's intent to expand AI data center and AI Factory businesses globally as demand for AI computing continues to rise.",
