Dnotitia Inc. (CEO: Moo-kyung Jeong) has been selected as the lead organization for the project "Development of the World's Highest Performance and Highest Efficiency AI Storage Equipment for Next-Generation LLM Services" alongside major domestic fabless semiconductor companies. This project, part of the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy's "Materials and Components Technology Development (Heterogeneous Technology Convergence Type)" project, will be implemented from July 2025 to December 2028 with a total budget of KRW 3.74 billion (KRW 2.5 billion in government subsidies).
This project is being jointly led by Dinoticia and domestic fabless company FADU. NHN Cloud, as a demand partner, will be responsible for verification and commercialization in a real-world operating environment. NHN Cloud operates an 880-GPU cluster and 107PB of storage at its Gwangju data center, providing an infrastructure optimized for large-scale demonstrations.
The most crucial elements of an AI data center are high-performance GPU infrastructure and AI storage infrastructure that supplies data to the GPUs at high speed. The global market is projected to grow at an average annual rate of 26.5%, reaching $282.9 billion (approximately 380 trillion won) by 2033. This sector is particularly poised for Korea, with its world-leading memory technology, to leverage AI to create the most competitive products. However, domestic companies in this field are scarce, and domestic data centers rely heavily on imported solutions.
Through this project, Dinoticia will develop a next-generation AI storage capable of semantic search by utilizing its vector database technology. This is an appliance-type AI storage that combines the latest hardware architecture and distributed storage technology. Key specifications include: ▲ Self-developed VDPU (vector search-dedicated accelerator) capable of processing 400 billion vectors per second ▲ Up to 4TB of memory expansion per server using CXL memory ▲ DPU-based network offloading ▲ 5,500MB/s random write performance through Padu's Multi-IO SSD.
“Unlike the era when people had to search for data themselves, in the era of artificial intelligence, most data access will be done by AI directly consuming data and producing new data,” said Jeongmu Kyung, CEO of Dinoticia. “Through this project, we will develop an AI-based storage system that AI utilizes, with meaning-based search and superior performance.”
