Clunix, NeoAI Cloud Partner on Integrated AI and HPC Operations at Pohang Data Center

What happened

Clunix and NeoAI Cloud have signed a memorandum of understanding to develop an integrated AI and HPC operating environment at the Pohang AI Data Center. Under the agreement, Clunix will integrate its AI and HPC management technology with the next-generation GPU infrastructure being built by NeoAI Cloud, and will use its AI orchestration platform NovaTier to establish an operating environment for bare-metal GPU cluster provisioning, integrated AI and HPC workload scheduling, and rack-scale systems such as NVL72. The data center is being developed as a fully liquid-cooled, AI-dedicated facility with a total project cost of 600 billion won; the first phase targets a capacity of 40 megawatts, accommodation for approximately 10,000 Nvidia next-generation Vera Rubin GPUs, and a high-density design exceeding 150 kilowatts per rack, with completion scheduled for November 2027. NHN Cloud has pre-leased half of the available capacity, or 16 MW, and will jointly operate the facility. The companies also plan to leverage Clunix's HPC customer base in manufacturing and research to attract computing demand from Pohang's steel, materials and secondary battery industries.
