The Yongin Naver Data Center was poured 136 applications

The second Naver data center (hereinafter referred to as "data center"), which has been treated as a "mysterious duck", is being reborn as a "swan". Initially, Yongin-si construction in Gyeonggi province was canceled, but 136 of them are ready to provide the necessary ground for the construction of data centers. According to Naver, on March 23, a total of 136 "proposals of intent" were submitted by 60 grbadroots local governments. This is the deadline to submit the letter of intent. Naver has the right to submit this proposal to municipalities and individuals who have submitted the letter of intent. The submission period for this proposal is until the 14th of next month.

Yongin-si, Gyeonggi-do, who was originally a candidate for the construction of data centers, would also have attracted private residents. However, it was reported that a university foundation, rather than the original candidate, Gyeonggi-do Gongse-dong, was offering private land which she owned. The size of the data center that Naver had originally planned to install in Gyeongsang-gu, Gyeonggi-do Province, was about 132,000 square meters (about 40,000 square feet) on site, either 2.5 times the size of Chuncheon's first data center. The amount of investment is 540 billion won. However, it was withdrawn due to the opposition of some citizens who stressed the influence of "electromagnetic waves".

In addition to Yongin in Gyeonggi Province, a number of grbadroots local governments in Gangwon and Chungcheong provinces have taken steps to attract data centers. Naver currently operates a data center called "Hwang" in Chuncheon, Gangwon Province. For reference, there are 120,000 servers in & # 39; Naver & # 39; each. The server's storage capacity is 240 petabytes (PB). The storage capacity of the new data center should be six times that of the others.

Naver meticulously outlined the conditions that data center candidates should have.
First, the required area on the site is greater than 100,000 square meters (the floor area is greater than 250,000 square meters) and the power supply capacity is 200 MVA. It is said that 136 sites were sold to meet these conditions. Naver, accompanied by a letter of intent to propose the site, has released research reports on electromagnetic waves as reference materials. This is the result of measuring the electromagnetic intensity of 15 locations around "each" in Chuncheon in December 2018. This is a way to prevent unnecessary fertilization such as "electromagnetic controversy" . According to the data, the average value of each surrounding electromagnetic wave measurement is 0.16 mG, which is lower than the mean value of the domestic measurement (0.6 mG) and 1% of the electromagnetic wave ( 19.79 mG) emitted by the general microwave.

Purpose of the operation in the first half of 2022
Municipalities are supposed to attract data centers. Once the investment of 540 billion won is used in a local government. Here, the effect of enhancing the image of the area is predictable. Naver is about to choose a data center site here this year and begin construction work in the first half of 2020. It will be fully operational in the first half of 2022.
