According to UAnalyze, South Korea's NAVER announced on June 9 a partnership with Nvidia to expand AI infrastructure using Nvidia's DSX platform to build an AI Factory. The initial deployment will reach 55 megawatts, with plans to expand to gigawatt-scale capacity, supporting South Korea's sovereign AI and data center initiatives.

The project will center on NAVER's GAK Sejong data center, incorporating Nvidia's full AI infrastructure including GPU computing platforms, system software, and data center management technology.
