Opening New Horizons in the AI Cloud Market: Elicecloud Garners Attention with Phenomenal Growth As the AI era dawns and the adoption of AI by companies and institutions accelerates, Elicegroup's AI-specialized cloud solution, 'Elicecloud,' is creating a sensation in the market. In just six months, from last November to this May, the number of institutions using the service surged by more than 9 times, and the number of users increased by approximately 74 times from June 2023 (service inception) to March 2025, marking an overwhelming achievement. Elicecloud is a unique AI-specialized cloud offering both high-performance GPUs and NPUs. It has expanded its customer base widely to include numerous startups, AI research labs, large corporations, and universities, establishing itself as essential infrastructure for AI development and operations. Notably, from March to May of this year, coinciding with the start of new semesters and projects, it showed a steep monthly average growth rate of over 50%, demonstrating the powerful advantages of its one-stop solution that supports the entire process from AI data management and project execution to model development and deployment. Behind this explosive growth are innovative technology and a customer-centric service strategy. In March, it acquired CSAP IaaS cloud security certification, securing the trust of public institutions and companies that prioritize data security. Furthermore, to assist customers struggling with AI model utilization, it introduced an optimized 'ML API Library' feature in February, allowing easy use of various general-purpose AI models, including open-source ones, significantly enhancing user convenience. Above all, Elicecloud's unique competitive advantage lies in its reasonable pricing policy. Based on its proprietary AI-specialized cloud infrastructure, it offers cost savings of over 77% when used under the same conditions as global cloud services. Additionally, by securing NPU optimization solutions for efficient AI model operation and localized GPU and NPU cloud technologies, it contributes to the independence of domestic AI technology. Kim Jaewon, CEO of Elicegroup, stated, "Elicecloud boasts the largest number of GPU-utilizing institutions based on AI PMDC in Korea, and the provision of NVIDIA H100 InfiniBand-based clusters, in particular, has driven explosive growth." He further expressed ambitions, saying, "Building on this, we will expand our business into the public sector and overseas markets this year, secure diverse customer references, and further strengthen our global AI cloud leadership." Elicecloud's continuous leap forward is expected to open a new future for the AI industry both domestically and internationally.
