AI PMDC developed with Elice’ own technology proves safety and reliability

Elice, Inc.’s (CEO Kim Jae-Won) AI specialized cloud, Elice Cloud, has become the first AI PMDC in Korea to obtain the Cloud Security Assurance Program (CSAP) for Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) type.

CSAP is a security certification system that private companies must obtain in order to provide cloud services to national and public organizations. The IaaS type of security certification requires compliance with 116 control items in 14 fields.

Entering the public cloud market in earnest, starting with AI digital textbook IaaS utilization

With this certification, Elice, Inc. will be able to participate in various cloud projects promoted by the government and public organizations and provide cloud services with proven safety and reliability. First, the company plans to build a stable educational infrastructure environment by introducing CSAP-certified IaaS to the AI digital textbook development project, which is an essential requirement.

Edge data center efficiently scales with AI demand and prevents data leakage

Elice Cloud provides AI-specific cloud solutions based on the Elice AI Portable Modular Data Center (PMDC). The Elice AI PMDC is composed of modular units that can be physically isolated, enabling efficient expansion as AI demand changes, and dozens of PMDCs can be connected to operate an AI cluster if necessary. The private cloud environment also protects sensitive data from external leakage.

Prior to acquiring CSAP IaaS, Elice, Inc. was recognized by authoritative organizations for its global security capabilities across AI solutions by obtaining the CSAP SaaS standard rating and international information security certifications ISO27001 and ISO27701 last year.

“With the acquisition of CSAP IaaS, we will continue to expand our presence in the public cloud space and position ourselves as a partner that provides a stable cloud environment for government and public sector customers,” said Kim Jae-Won, CEO of Elice. ”We will gradually expand this to edge data centers to enable AI transformation (AX) in various national industries such as education, healthcare, and manufacturing.”

Easily Develop Open-Source AI Models in Customized AI Infrastructure Utilizing Latest GPU and NPU

Elice Cloud, the AI-specialized cloud service by Elice, Inc. (CEO Kim Jae-won), has unveiled a solution that allows various general-purpose AI models, including open-source models, to be used safely and conveniently in a cloud environment.

Elice Cloud has upgraded its existing ML API features, introducing an ‘ML API Library’ function that enables the use of open-source AI models in customized AI infrastructure. The key feature of this upgrade is providing an optimized GPU and NPU environment that allows easy use of various open-source AI models without additional installation or configuration.

Unlike API-based solutions for commercial AI models, open-source AI models require environment configuration depending on the specific model and often need fine-tuning for desired tasks. To address these challenges, Elice Cloud provides GPU and NPU environments optimized for each open-source model, along with customized APIs. Users can easily develop, manage, and deploy AI chatbots and other applications in high-performance AI infrastructure tailored to various models, including open-source models like Deep Seek R1 and Meta’s Llama. The service also offers high-performance computing services utilizing the latest NPUs from Furiosa AI and Rebellion.

Executed in a private cloud environment based on the Elice AI PMDC (Portable Modular Data Center), the solution prevents external leakage of sensitive data. The Elice AI PMDC can be configured in modular units, allowing physical isolation, agile response to AI demand changes, and achieving an impressive Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) of 1.27.

Will Strengthen AI Infrastructure Competitiveness with Largest Domestic High-Performance GPU AI PMDC

Elice Cloud aims to design and construct 1MW-class AI PMDCs this year. To stably manage high-density power and heat, the infrastructure incorporates space optimization design and Direct Liquid Cooling (DLC) technology. It is designed to perfectly support the latest high-performance GPUs like NVIDIA B100, with a rack power capacity of 160kW, which is industry leading.

CEO Kim Jae-won of Elice, Inc. stated, “We have designed and built an AI PMDC that can accommodate up to 5,000 high-performance H100 GPUs, which is expected to be the largest scale among domestic cloud companies. To fully launch the Elice Cloud business, we will focus on GPU acquisition and technological innovation through R&D.”

Enhancing Educational Accessibility for Hearing-Impaired Teachers through AI Technology

Providing Real-Time Automatic Captions via EliceCloud for Hearing-Impaired Teachers to Participate in Training

Elice, Inc. (CEO Kim Jae-won), an AI education solution company, has created a training environment where hearing-impaired teachers can participate without difficulty using Elice Cloud and AI voice recognition real-time captioning in Elice School teacher training.

This AI feature was developed to address the challenges faced by hearing-impaired teachers participating in Elice School training. After receiving feedback from hearing-impaired teachers about the need for sign language interpreters, the company decided to develop a long-term solution rather than a short-term fix.

Elice, Inc. introduced a generative AI function that recognizes lecture audio and generates real-time captions in the Elice School LXP teacher training platform. With over 90% voice-to-text conversion accuracy, hearing-impaired teachers can now accurately understand lecture content through real-time captions. The feature is notably provided stably through Elice Cloud-based generative AI.

A hearing-impaired teacher who used this feature shared, “Thanks to Elice’s AI function, I could comfortably listen to the instructor’s words without missing anything and actively participate in the practical sessions. This is the first training that has actively supported hearing-impaired teachers, and I was touched by Elice’s delicate disability sensitivity in providing such a useful feature.”

Utilizing AI Technology in Nationwide Educational Office Teacher Training, Offering Optimized Infrastructure

Elice School, which has been actively operating teacher training with educational offices in Seoul, Busan, Incheon, Gangwon, Daejeon, Sejong, and Chungcheong since 2024, plans to develop various functions to strengthen digital accessibility for teachers. Elice is creating an environment where anyone can participate in education regardless of disabilities, developing multimodal AI models that accurately describe images for those with visual difficulties.

Elice, Inc. CEO Kim Jae-won stated, “We aim to create an unrestricted educational environment through AI technology and establish a virtuous cycle where many people learn to utilize AI technology through education. We will continue to develop barrier-free features to build a comprehensive educational environment that can be conveniently used by teachers nationwide and many more users.”
