South Korea’s LG has launched a new containerized data center offering.

Announced this week by LG's CNS AI and cloud computing segment, the new AI Box could accommodate 576 GPUs in a single container.

The pods include power and cooling, including a coolant distribution unit (CDU), uninterruptible power supply (UPS), and batteries.

LG said the pre-fabricated units can be built within six months. The modular design can scale from a single container up to dozens for a hyperscale AI facility.

The AI ​​Box consists of an electrical room (UPS, transformers, and distribution panels) responsible for power infrastructure, and a computer room (servers, GPUs, and cooling equipment) for IT equipment operations. Externally equipped with a generator, battery room, and refrigerator, the AI ​​Box ensures a stable power supply and efficient thermal management.

The company said each AI Box can handle 1.2MW of server power (IT load) and accommodate up to 576 GPUs.

“The AI ​​Box, which provides integrated services from AI servers to power, cooling, and operations, will lead a new paradigm in the data center business,” said Cho Heon-hyeok, managing director of LG CNS’s data center business division. “Based on our success in the domestic market, we will expand our business to global markets such as Southeast Asia and North America.”

LG CNS is building its first AI box at its Busan Global Cloud Data Center site. Busan is a port city on South Korea’s southeastern coast.

The company plans to build a large-scale campus, encompassing approximately 50 AI boxes on a 27,180 sqm site (292,565 sq ft), to meet domestic AI infrastructure demand.

LG's technology and telecoms arms operate multiple data centers across South Korea.

LG CNS was founded in 1987 and provides information technology services. It launched South Korea’s first dedicated data center building – the Incheon Data Center – in 1992. Today, it operates six locations, including in Sangam, Busan, and Gasan, as well as four sites internationally.

LG Uplus, LG’s telecoms unit, currently operates multiple colocation data centers — including three in southern Seoul and one in Anyang, to the south of the capital.
