On 29 August 2023 , atNorth – a leading Nordic colocation, high-performance computing (HPC), and artificial intelligence (AI) service provider – announced the company’s acquisition of Gompute, a leading provider of HPC and data center services.
Under the terms of the agreement, atNorth will add Gompute’s data center in Gothenburg, Sweden, with a capacity potential of 10MW to its portfolio. Gompute’s advanced HPC technology, skilled engineers, and strong customer base, combined with atNorth’s leading HPC-as-a-service solution and colocation platform, will provide customers with a compelling pan-Nordic, full stack offering tailored to HPC and AI workloads.
“Gompute has been at the forefront of running hugely sophisticated high-performance applications for high-profile organizations with some of the industry’s most highly skilled engineers for over 20 years,” atNorth’s CEO, Eyjolfur Magnús Kristinsson said. “This acquisition forms a significant part of atNorth’s growth strategy as the leading provider of data center and HPC infrastructure in the Nordics and we are thrilled to be welcoming them to the atNorth family.”
Gompute was founded in 2002 with the specific goal to address the increasing intensity of HPC workloads and applications with a strong focus on performance, throughput, ease of use, and support services. Gompute’s customer excellence and strong entrepreneurial spirit directly align to atNorth’s culture and vision for the business.
Kristinsson added, “This acquisition will ensure that we can continue to meet this demand fast enough, keep up with global market needs, and power next generation sustainable IT operations from the Nordics region."
