CJ OliveNetworks is set to enhance its AI infrastructure capabilities by collaborating with global IT giant Cisco Korea. The two companies recently signed a strategic memorandum of understanding (MOU) to co-develop an integrated service model that combines high-performance computing infrastructure with advanced AI technologies.
Cisco, renowned for its expertise in network equipment and security solutions, has been focusing on enhancing network automation and cloud platforms using AI and machine learning. Through this partnership, CJ OliveNetworks aims to leverage Cisco’s AI expertise to deliver distinctive AI infrastructure services by integrating it with its own cloud and data center capabilities.
The collaboration will focus on the phased adoption of new technologies such as AI computing, networking, and security; joint development of AI infrastructure architecture; and co-planning and execution of service models and collaborative projects. Notably, the partnership will establish a ‘Cloud AI End-to-End Infrastructure’ model spanning AI development, operation, security, and management, leveraging Cisco’s high-performance GPU servers.
CJ OliveNetworks plans to integrate Cisco’s AI Defense, Secure Access Service Edge (SASE), and AIOps solutions to improve AI adoption and operational efficiency for its clients.
By fostering this partnership, both companies anticipate establishing an industry-specific AI solution ecosystem and enhancing their competitive edge by delivering tailored AI infrastructure services to corporate clients.
Key executives, including Yoo In-sang, CEO of CJ OliveNetworks, Dave West, President of Cisco APJC, and Choi Ji-hee, CEO of Cisco Korea, attended the MOU signing ceremony and expressed optimism about the partnership.
Dave West, President of Cisco APJC, stated, “The combination of CJ OliveNetworks’ cloud and data capabilities with Cisco’s AI technology will significantly contribute to expanding AI infrastructure in Korea.”
Yoo In-sang, CEO of CJ OliveNetworks, remarked, “This collaboration will not only enhance our AI infrastructure competitiveness but also positively impact the growth of the domestic AI ecosystem. Our combined technologies will create synergies, allowing us to deliver faster and more efficient AI services.”
