LG CNS has unveiled a prefabricated modular data center, or PMDC, that packages graphics processing units, servers and power and cooling equipment into modules, along with a full-stack AI factory service built on Nvidia's next-generation Vera Rubin GPU.
LG CNS said on the 30th that it showcased a scaled-down display model of the PMDC at Data Center World Asia 2026, which opened in Singapore on the 29th. The PMDC approach involves prefabricating the GPUs, servers and power and cooling equipment needed for an AI factory as standardized modules, then installing them on site.
Previously, mechanical, electrical and plumbing equipment and AI infrastructure had to be built on site after a data center was constructed. The PMDC prefabricates key equipment to minimize on-site work, and allows infrastructure to be expanded quickly by adding modules as demand for AI computing grows. That enables the company to address shortages in AI infrastructure supply and surging demand. The PMDC combines LG CNS's data center design, build and operate expertise with LG Electronics' modular cooling infrastructure and LG Energy Solution's battery solutions.
The company is also pursuing a modular AI factory business using the PMDC. Instead of a separate data center building, it builds small container-type data centers and adds containers as needed. LG CNS has launched a 4-megawatt IT load module based on Nvidia's Vera Rubin and a 1.2 MW module based on the GB300, and plans to expand the lineup with a range of specifications.
At the exhibition, the company also unveiled its Vera Rubin-Based full-stack AI factory service. The offering bundles GPU-as-a-service, which provides Vera Rubin GPU resources in the cloud, an intelligence service supporting real-time training and inference for applications such as physical AI, and the power and cooling technology needed to operate GPUs.
"Customers no longer want individual services. They will need an integrated AI factory that lets them deliver results with AI," said Kim Tae-hoon, executive vice president and head of LG CNS's AI cloud business division. "Based on our capabilities spanning data center design, construction and operation, along with our AI infrastructure technology, LG CNS will lead the AI factory ecosystem and strengthen our business competitiveness."
