Architecture

NAVER runs its core portal and AI services primarily on **on-premise data centers** such as the GAK Sejong facility, increasingly augmented by NAVER Cloud’s sovereign AI infrastructure built with NVIDIA DSX and AMD EPYC/Instinct platforms for large-scale training and inference.[2][4][5][6][7] The production stack is vertically integrated—NAVER controls the data centers, cloud layer (NAVER Cloud), and proprietary foundation models like HyperCLOVA X, exposed as services to internal products and external partners.[2][5][7]

Architecture

Tencent’s production stack is hybrid in practice, combining large-scale self-hosted infrastructure (notably OpenStack/TStack and Tencent Cloud-native/TCE/TCS) with major open-source infrastructure components such as Apache Kafka. Its database layer is centered on Tencent-built systems like TDSQL/TDSQL Boundless, with enterprise controls spanning regional deployment, access control, encryption, and auditing.
