The AX platform company driving Korea’s industrial transformation
kt cloud is Korea’s only infrastructure-integrated AX platform company that owns all three core infrastructures: cloud, data centers (IDC), and network backbone. From high-performance AI data centers (AIDC) to cloud-native platforms, kt cloud delivers end-to-end solutions that lead industrial innovation across Korea.
Under the mission of “AX Platform Company,” kt cloud drives the AX of Korean industries with AI data centers and cloud-native AI platforms. Guided by “KT Professionalism” — putting customers first, respecting colleagues, and owning every task to the end — kt cloud turns deep expertise into bold execution and results.
Hundreds of GPUs, operated like one
kt cloud’s GPU infrastructure and Lablup’s Backend.AI together set a new standard for AI infrastructure operations. What we pursue is the operational simplicity of handling hundreds of GPUs as a single resource. Instead of provisioning GPUs in advance and waiting, developers and operators focus on building models and running services, free from infrastructure concerns.

kt cloud’s infrastructure meets Lablup’s Backend.AI — AI infrastructure that cuts complexity and raises speed.
“The competitiveness of AI infrastructure is no longer decided solely by how many GPUs you secure. What determines the speed and competitiveness of an AI business is how quickly and flexibly GPUs are delivered the moment they are needed, and how efficiently large-scale resources are operated.
The collaboration between kt cloud and Lablup’s Backend.AI goes beyond providing GPUs as physical resources: its goal is an AI environment where customers can use the computing resources they need, the moment they need them. Developers are freed from complex GPU and infrastructure operations to focus on building models and services, and enterprises can scale their AI business quickly without the burden of building and operating large-scale AI infrastructure themselves.
kt cloud and Lablup are simplifying the complexity of AI infrastructure into a single platform, across the boundaries of cloud and data center, GPU and software. The cloud and the platform absorb the complexity so that customers can focus on their AI business — that is the vision of the AI platform the two companies are building together.
“What customers need is not GPUs themselves but the speed of their AI business. Lablup and kt cloud have long shared the same vision: the cloud and the platform absorb the complexity, and customers focus on their AI business.
Lablup builds the software for adopting and operating AI. From a single GPU in a personal computer to data-center scale, Backend.AI virtualizes and schedules resources the same way, running AI at any scale.
When Backend.AI and kt cloud’s cloud, IDC, and network come together, the result is a GPU cloud where customers draw on GPUs like electricity — as much as they need, the moment they need it. Together, Lablup and kt cloud will build a world where intelligence reaches wherever it is needed.
