The OCP Korea Tech Day is an official annual conference that has been organized by the Open Compute Project (OCP) Foundation and the OCP Korea Community since 2019, bringing together hyperscalers (large-scale data center operators), leading semiconductor companies, infrastructure suppliers, and startups from around the world.

At this year’s event, which drew around 1,500 attendees, FADU’s Dr. Seungmin Kim delivered a keynote speech entitled "Flash Memory in AI Data Centers: The New Role of SSDs and Controllers." Dr. Kim explained that as explosive data growth and cost efficiency emerge as key challenges in the era of AI, the role of SSDs is becoming more specialized in terms of memory, performance, and capacity units. He identified four key challenges that SSDs need to address: ▲small input/output (I/O) unit processing performance ▲consistent latency ▲GPU-driven I/O ▲line-rate security.

FADU set up a large exhibition booth at the event to showcase its next-generation Gen6 SSD solutions and other major products and technologies. This exhibition is part of the 'FADU 2.0' vision, which was recently announced at 'FMS 2026', the largest memory event in North America. Rather than focusing solely on a single controller, the company’s strategy is to expand its portfolio to offer broad data center solutions to meet growing AI demand. In particular, FADU revealed a bold plan to drive innovation not only in areas such as research and development, but also across the entire organization as it evolves toward the 'FADU 2.0 vision.'

Nam Ihyun, CEO of FADU, stated, "OCP Korea Tech Day is a major event that brings together the world's leading big tech and semiconductor companies, providing a great opportunity to demonstrate FADU's competitive edge." He added, "We will strengthen our leadership in the AI-optimized SSD and storage market through the AI data center-focused portfolio we have unveiled at today’s event."
