The GAK Chuncheon Data Centre is NAVER Corporation's first purpose-built data centre, operational since 2013. As a foundational part of NAVER'S digital infrastructure, it supports critical services such as search, cloud computing and AI applications. The facility spans a significant footprint, housing approximately 100,000 servers, each operating at a high density 11kW per rack.
One of GAK Chuncheon's standout features is its exceptional energy efficiency, achieving a Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) of 1.09, one of the best globally. This efficiency is enabled by innovative cooling systems that leverage natural airflows, significantly reducing energy consumption. The facility incorporates sustainable technologies, such as rainwater recycling and solar panels, to minimise its environmental impact. Designed with disaster resilience in mind, GAK Chuncheon has operated uninterrupted since opening, ensuring reliable service delivery to millions of users. By combining sustainabiliity, innovation and robust performance, GAK Chuncheon represents a benchmark in modern data centre design, aligning with N AVER's commitment to environmental responsibility and technological excellence.
