- Green technologies
and PUE at a global
standard -
Gak uses AMU (Air Misting Unit) filters, an environmentally-friendly cooling technology, to maximize energy reduction. Due to such initiatives, as well as the use of alternative and environmentally-friendly technologies whenever possible, Gak maintains a PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness) that is closer to 1 than other data centers in South Korea.

- Harnessing the natural
environment for
sustainable energy -
Gak was designed with the surrounding geography in mind, so that the wind could serve as a natural coolant for the servers. Environmental considerations inform other Gak initiatives, like using solar energy and energy from the heat of the servers to grow greenhouse plants, or using rainwater as a coolant or to extinguish fires.
