GPU capacity in Seoul.
South Korea combines a world-leading semiconductor industry with aggressive national AI investment and some of the best connectivity anywhere. For Korean-serving workloads, Seoul is the obvious anchor.
What decides a deployment in this metro.
Why buyers come here, and what they run into.
Korea has broadband and mobile connectivity that few countries match, an enormous domestic technology sector, and a semiconductor industry that gives the market unusual fluency in what AI hardware actually requires. Seoul concentrates most of it.
The constraints are the familiar metro ones: land and power around the capital are tight, and AI rack densities push against what older facilities were designed for. Capacity growth has increasingly moved to the surrounding region.
The design that actually works.
For Korean enterprise and consumer serving, Seoul or its immediate region is the right anchor and latency settles most arguments. For sustained training, we price it against regional alternatives with better power economics.
Export screening on destination and end user runs first, as everywhere. Wider regional context is on the APAC desk.
Start from what is verified.
Current verified lines with quantities, lead times and indicative pricing are public on the live inventory. Anything not listed becomes a sourcing requirement with a first pass inside one business day.
Colocation in Seoul, through the same desk.
The desk sources colocation, racks and power in this metro as well as the compute that fills them. Seoul pairs serious sovereign demand with limited AI-density supply, and new halls pre-lease early. Requirements come to us as three numbers: megawatts at day one, kilowatts per rack, and the date. The space and power desk takes it from there, and above 40 kW per rack we will tell you honestly how short the local shortlist is.
Asked first, answered straight.
Yes. Space, power and cooling in this metro route through the same desk as the compute, priced against your density and date. Above 40 kW per rack the local shortlist narrows quickly, and we say so rather than tour you through halls that cannot take the load.
Yes, subject to export screening on the end user and destination. Customs entry, duty treatment and importer-of-record where required are handled by the same desk and priced landed.
Around the capital, yes, in the way most dense metros are. Growth has moved outward to the surrounding region, which for most workloads is a perfectly good answer.
It means local operators and integrators are unusually fluent in AI hardware requirements, which tends to make deployment conversations faster and more technically grounded.
It depends on residency and cost sensitivity. Where neither binds tightly, regional markets with cheaper power often win for training while inference stays in Seoul.
