Ellis Group announced on the 30th that it signed a business agreement (MOU) with the Korea Institute of Science and Technology Information (KISTI, President Lee Sik) for cooperation in the fields of National Data Exchange Node (NDeX), AI infrastructure, data center operation, and research.
KISTI is an organization that supports the transmission and sharing of large-scale scientific data based on the Korea Research Era Network (KREONET) and the National Data Exchange Node (NDeX), and operates an ultra-high-speed network infrastructure for data linkage and utilization between the public and private sectors. The National Data Exchange Node is being operated by KISTI in earnest since 2023 to overcome the limitations of existing Internet-based data transmission and enable high-performance data exchange.
Ellis Group is a cloud service provider (CSP) that provides AI-specific cloud services based on a modular AI data center (PMDC). In February of this year, it obtained cloud security certification (CSAP IaaS) for providing services to public institutions. In particular, it was selected as a cooperative partner for this agreement because it has the ability to independently develop software, infrastructure, and hardware related to AI services.
Through this agreement, the two organizations promised cooperation in various fields, including △network and infrastructure cooperation to strengthen domestic sovereign AI research and development capabilities, △linking public-private computing resources for large-scale AI model development, and △promoting convergence research in areas of common interest.
Cho Boo-seung, director of the KISTI Science and Technology Research Network Center, said, “In order to achieve digital-based national innovation, it is important to break down the barriers between the public and private sectors and expand the connection of data and AI resources,” adding, “We expect this collaboration to make a practical contribution to creating a public-private ecosystem in the fields of AI and high-performance computing.”
Kim Jae-won, CEO of Ellis Group, said, “We hope that Ellis’ AI cloud infrastructure can contribute to establishing a data sharing foundation for various research institutes,” and “We will continue to produce tangible results in the AI infrastructure field through cooperation with public institutions.”
