SEL2, Digital Edge's second data centre in the Seoul metropolitan area, is ready for service.
Samuel Lee, chief executive officer for Digital Edge, commented, "We are proud to partner with SK Ecoplant in the development of SEL2 to bring next-generation digital infrastructure to the Asia Pacific and support the rapid rise of cloud and AI applications across South Korea. Seoul remains a key market within the region's data centre landscape, and we are delighted to be able to continue to support the acceleration of its fast-growing digital economy."
ESG goals
Developed in partnership with SK Ecoplant, AI-ready SEL2 has a 36MW capacity and is highly suitable for high-power density applications. It claims to support a cabinet density of up to 130kw when a liquid cooling solution is used.
Its engineering design enables SEL2 to minimise water and energy usage to achieve a market-leading annualised design Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) of 1.25, aligning with Digital Edge's ESG goals.
Andrew Pak, country manager for Digital Edge in South Korea, added, "SEL2 further strengthens our presence across the market by bringing large scale, high-power density data centre capacity to complement our existing connectivity-focused sites in Seoul and Busan. Crucially, by working alongside our partners at SK Ecoplant, who share our ESG commitments, we have built a highly energy-efficient facility that meets the performance demands of our customers alongside our environmental objectives."
