LG CNS completes 30-MW AI data center in Indonesia

LG CNS has completed construction of a 30-megawatt (MW) hyperscale AI data center in Jakarta, becoming the first Korean company to build an AI data center overseas for a local client. The company said Monday that it had secured customers for the facility's full capacity before completing construction. The project was commissioned last year by KMG, a joint venture between Indonesia's Sinar Mas Group and Korea Investment Real Asset Management. It marks LG CNS' expansion into overseas markets, leveraging its data center design, build and operate (DBO) capabilities. The data center was designed to support high-performance computing powered by next-generation graphics processing units (GPUs). To manage the heat generated by AI servers, LG CNS adopted a hybrid cooling structure combining air and liquid cooling. The first phase uses air cooling, with liquid-cooling technology to be introduced in subsequent phases to support high-density AI server environments. LG CNS also installed a power system capable of handling more than 300 kilowatts per rack, about 60 times the power capacity required by
