MangoBoost, a startup on the verge of achieving unicorn status, is entering the artificial intelligence (AI) data center infrastructure business. The company has set out to solve the data bottleneck problem plaguing the AI industry, with its data processing unit (DPU) at the core of its strategy.
According to industry sources on the 29th, MangoBoost recently signed a lease agreement for a portion of a colocation data center in Gangnam-gu, Seoul. The company plans to install 10 racks in the 42U standard equipped with AMD's latest graphics processing unit (GPU), the MI355X. A 42U rack is a large-format rack measuring 2 meters in height and 1 meter in depth. The racks MangoBoost installs will house not only AMD's GPUs but also MangoBoost's proprietary DPU, "BoostX." Companies using these servers will also have access to MangoBoost's data processing optimization software, "LLM Boost."
MangoBoost's package combining GPU, DPU and optimization software will be offered to companies developing AI services. A range of companies from large conglomerates to startups are currently in discussions with MangoBoost over server usage. These companies are particularly interested in the computational efficiency gains when running large language models (LLMs) using MangoBoost's package. MangoBoost plans to complete the facility build-out by May and launch full-scale operations.
