(April 25, 2025) FADU, a semiconductor company specializing in data center storage solutions (Co-CEOs Lee Jihyo and Nam Ehyun), announced today that it has participated in the 22nd Data Center Summit & Awards 2025, held in Mumbai, India. During the event, the company introduced its high-performance enterprise solid-state drive (SSD) controller technologies, marking a major step in its strategy to expand into India’s burgeoning artificial intelligence (AI) data center market.

Hosted by UBS Forums, a renowned Indian B2B technology media company, the event is served as a premier platform for leaders in the data center and AI sectors to come together and exchange ideas.

This year’s theme, "Optimizing Infrastructure for a Hyper-Connected World," attracted participation from global data center companies and local IT industry leaders such as STT GDC India, CtrlS Datacenters, Sify, ESDS Software Solution, Yotta Data Services, and Tata Communications.

This event held strategic significance for FADU beyond a simple technology showcase. India's data center market is experiencing rapid growth, driven by government-led initiatives such as the India AI Mission, aimed at fostering AI development across the country.

According to Indian market research firm Astute Analytica, the Indian data center market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.37%, reaching approximately USD 21.87 billion (KRW 31.15 trillion) by 2032.

In particular, the market is rapidly shifting from SATA (Serial ATA) and SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) based SSDs to high-performance PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express) SSDs for data centers, driving a significant surge in demand.



Through this participation in the event, FADU initiated early-stage collaborations with leading AI data center companies in India. This strategic move is expected to serve as a crucial stepping stone toward customer diversification and long-term client base expansion.

In a presentation session on SSD strategies for advancing AI infrastructure, FADU highlighted key topics such as the projected growth of the enterprise SSD market driven by increasing AI workloads, technologies for optimizing power efficiency and performance, and customized SSD strategies tailored for global hyperscale customers.

FADU’s Gen5 SSD lineups—featuring U.2, E1.S, and E3.S form factors—drew significant attention for having received official certification from the global open-source data center consortium, the Open Compute Project (OCP). Certification by the Open Compute Project (OCP)—an initiative led by global tech leaders including Meta, Microsoft, and Google—marks a strong endorsement of FADU’s technological capabilities and reliability. This milestone enhances FADU’s credibility among hyperscale and data center clients and paves the way for broader engagement with global customers.

With our proprietary SSD controller technology, FADU delivers high-performance, energy-efficient solutions tailored to our customers’ needs—strengthening our global competitiveness,” said Tae-kyun Kim, Chief Business Officer at FADU. “Our participation in this summit marks a pivotal step toward building strong partnerships with India’s leading AI data center companies and establishing a solid foundation for market expansion in the region.
