VGround Earns GS Grade 1 Certification for Infinitystack v2.0, Proving Reliability of HCI Solution

What happened

Vnground said its Infinitystack v2.0 software received GS certification Grade 1, the highest level. Under Korea's software promotion law, Grade 1 software can be named a priority purchase for public agencies and can be sold through a direct contract with the Public Procurement Service, without a bidding contest. Infinitystack is a bundle of tools that run servers, containers, AI computing, and a single dashboard on one platform.

Key facts

• Certification: GS Grade 1 (the highest grade)
• Announced: the 20th (per the article)
• Built on open-source technology
• Works with existing VMware systems, so old systems do not need to be replaced all at once
• Can start on low-spec servers and small setups

Some terms explained

HCI (hyper-converged infrastructure) combines computing, storage, and networking into one system that is easier to manage. Virtualization lets one physical server act like several separate computers. Containers are small, portable packages that hold an app and everything it needs to run. GPUs are chips that handle heavy graphics and AI work well.

Why it matters

Many organizations run virtual machines, containers, and AI tools in separate systems, which is hard to manage. Infinitystack tries to put them in one place. It also aims to let regular IT staff run the system without special engineers. The company says GPU sharing can cut the cost of expensive AI chips, which may make AI projects cheaper to start.

What to watch

• Vnground plans to release a GPU management platform this year.
• The new platform would show GPUs spread across many servers and data centers on one screen.
• GPU sharing is meant to use limited chips better and lower infrastructure costs.
• Whether public agencies start buying Infinitystack through direct contracts.
