A fire at South Korea's state data center has brought around 70 government services offline. A lithium battery fire was reported at the National Information Resources Service in the central city of Daejeon, starting at around 8:20pm local time. Some 73 firefighters and 70 fire vehicles have been deployed.
The NIRS data center was the digital backbone for South Korea’s government operations. Everything from identity verification and emergency call routing to postal logistics and administrative portals relied on it. The consequences were immediate and far-reaching. Essential government functions were interrupted. Emergency services were affected.
The disruption occurs during a critical period as South Korea continues expanding its digital government services, including the recent implementation of the I-PIN digital ID system for overseas citizens and the nationwide rollout of mobile resident registration cards.
The timing raises questions about an industry-wide technology shift. Lithium-ion batteries are projected to account for 38.5% of the data center battery market by 2025, up from 15% in 2020. “As lithium-ion systems gain traction, the safety envelope must tighten,” said Tanvi Rai, senior analyst at Everest Group.
