Samsung SDS is building a 60–120 MW AI data center in South Korea's Gumi district (completion 2028), whilst LG CNS has completed a 30 MW facility in Jakarta with full capacity pre-sold and plans to scale to 400 MW across Asia-Pacific. Both firms are shifting from construction into infrastructure operations and managed services.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
Korean conglomerates have stopped selling IT services and started building the pipes AI customers run on. If you sell power, cooling, or networking to data centres, LG and Samsung just became your largest Asia-Pacific customers—and they're pre-selling capacity before the concrete sets.
