Vast Data is teaming up with SK Telecom on the latter's AI cluster - the Haein Cluster was launched earlier this month with 1,000 Nvidia B200 GPUs, building on SK Telecom's existing offering based on Nvidia H100s.
“Vast Data’s unified architecture has been instrumental in helping us move from legacy bare-metal deployments to a fully virtualized, production-grade AI cloud,” said DK Lee, vice president, and head of the AI DC Lab at SK Telecom. “The Vast AI OS powers the performance, simplicity, and flexibility needed to support the next generation of sovereign AI workloads, and gives us the confidence to scale fast and securely. With Vast, we’re enabling a GPUaaS platform that meets the exacting needs of government, research, and enterprise AI customers in South Korea.”
“SK Telecom is defining the future of national-scale AI infrastructure, and VastT is proud to support their vision,” added Sunil Chavan, VP, APAC, Vast Data. “From our earliest conversations, it was clear that SKT needed cutting-edge infrastructure to match the speed and complexity of enterprise-grade uptime and nation-state inference and training. By eliminating traditional bottlenecks around data movement, provisioning, and security, Vast is enabling SKT to launch a sovereign and secure AI infrastructure that offers speed and flexibility at scale for Korea."
