The core of the deal is a pre-fabricated modular build model. This is where artificial-intelligence computing servers, power systems, and cooling infrastructure are integrated into a single pre-manufactured unit. The model will allow data centers to be assembled in a building-block configuration rather than from scratch, which is how most data centers today are built each time.

This approach, said SK Telecom in a press release, directly targets two of the biggest pain points in AIDC development today. The first one is long construction timelines, and the second is supply chain bottlenecks. These challenges have been a huge drag on the industry’s ability to keep pace with surging artificial-intelligence infrastructure demand, stated SK Telecom.

According to the details of the MOU, SK Telecom will contribute AIDC operational expertise. On their part, Supermicro will supply high-performance, GPU-optimized servers tailored to specific AI workloads and Schneider Electric will handle the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing infrastructure.
