Naver Cloud Secures Rights to Use 1,576 GPUs in Government Project Worth KRW 245.7 Billion

On June 25, Naver Cloud announced that it has acquired rights to use 1,576 GPUs as part of the government's GPU procurement, construction, and operation support project.

Naver Cloud obtained the rights to use these GPUs for its own purposes through an agreement signed the previous day with the National IT Industry Promotion Agency (NIPA).

Initially, the government allocated a total of 4,120 GPUs to Naver Cloud, including 1,008 units of Nvidia's "Vera Rubin" and 3,112 units of B300. The amount disclosed by Naver Cloud this time refers to the portion for its own internal use, not for public utilization. Among these, the Vera Rubin offers enhanced performance, with greater bandwidth and faster computing speed compared to previous models.

Earlier this year, Naver Cloud was selected as a participating company in the government-led "GPU Procurement, Construction, and Operation Support Project," alongside Samsung SDS and ELICE Group. The project has an estimated value of approximately 2.08 trillion won.

Naver Cloud will install the GPUs purchased by the government at its data center and operate them until 2031, receiving rights to use the GPUs in return.
