Ellis Group, a full-stack artificial intelligence (AI) company, has secured the trademark for its self-developed modular AI data center, 'PMDC.' This move aims to strengthen its foothold in the domestic and international AI infrastructure markets, leveraging its proprietary technology from data center construction to AI cloud operations.
On October 8, Ellis Group announced that it completed the trademark registration for 'PMDC.' The registration was finalized on September 17, with registration number 40-2596074. The company plans to enhance its brand competitiveness based on the PMDC technology accumulated over the past five years.
PMDC is a modular data center that allows for the rapid deployment of essential facilities, such as servers, power, cooling, and networking, which are pre-manufactured in a factory and then quickly assembled on-site where power and land are available. Ellis Group has been developing and operating the PMDC since 2021, applying the name to its self-designed modular AI data center.
The company is also advancing cooling technologies to address heat generated by high-performance graphics processing units (GPUs). It is implementing cooling methods necessary for AI data centers, including direct liquid cooling (DLC) and hot water cooling.
By integrating its self-developed AI cloud software 'ECI' with PMDC, Ellis Group has established capabilities that encompass everything from data center construction to GPU cluster operation and management. The company is currently expanding its real-world implementations, including the Edge AI data center in the Busan manufacturing complex.
In addition to expanding domestic AI infrastructure, Ellis Group is pursuing entry into overseas markets. It plans to establish a business model that supplies AI computing resources produced in Korea to the global market by combining modular AI data centers with cloud operation technologies.
Kim Jae-won, CEO of Ellis Group, stated, 'PMDC is the core AI infrastructure of Ellis Group, designed in 2021 and operated in real AI cloud environments, accumulating technological expertise. With this trademark registration, we aim to enhance both the technological competitiveness and brand value of PMDC, further expanding our presence in the domestic and international AI infrastructure markets.'
