HD Hyundai is set to develop core technologies for the 'data center at sea,' which has gained attention in the AI era.

HD Hyundai Heavy Industries announced on the 7th that it signed a memorandum of cooperation with Schneider Electric, a leading global data center infrastructure solutions provider, for joint development of floating data center (FDC) infrastructure technology.

The signing ceremony held at HD Hyundai's Global R&D Center in Seongnam, Gyeonggi Province was attended by executives and representatives from both companies, including HD Hyundai Heavy Industries Kim Hyeong-gwan (CEO) and Schneider Electric Korea Kwon Ji-ung (CEO).

Known as the 'data center at sea,' FDC is a next-generation data center that operates servers on floating structures in the ocean. It is considered the most ideal alternative to address the challenges of land acquisition and high server cooling costs associated with traditional land-based data centers.

In particular, Schneider Electric is a global leader in data center power, cooling, and energy management fields, providing next-generation digital infrastructure solutions based on its experience in building ultra-large-scale data centers and AI infrastructure.

An HD Hyundai official, speaking to The Korea Herald via phone, said, "Through this collaboration, we will advance core technologies to stably implement large-scale and high-density computing infrastructure at sea."
