The leading Nordic data center business was
acknowledged for its innovative cooling technology and its
dedication to customer service.
REYKJAVÍK, Iceland,
June 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ --
atNorth, the leading Nordic colocation, high-performance
computing, and artificial intelligence service provider, has
announced its shortlisting in the `Customer Initiative of the Year'
category at RAC's 21st Annual Cooling Awards.
The awards aim to celebrate innovation, best practice and
business excellence across the refrigeration and air conditioning
sectors. With global awareness of the amount of energy needed to
power and cool data centers, especially those built to cater for AI
and other data intensive industries it is important to atNorth to
showcase the benefits of its cool Nordic locations that allow for
highly energy efficient cooling technologies.
atNorth was recognized for its work with Shearwater Geoservices,
a business that initially had some apprehension over moving digital
infrastructure away from the UK to one of atNorth's data centers in
Iceland. atNorth liaised
extensively with the Shearwater team, enabling access to its
Gompute HPCaaS Platform in order to conduct comprehensive testing
before migrating to their own servers. Shearwater successfully
moved its UK HPC to atNorth's ICE02 site resulting in a 92%
reduction in CO2 output and an 85% reduction in cost.
"We are delighted to be acknowledged at RAC's Annual Cooling
Awards," says Anna Kristín Pálsdóttir, CDO, at atNorth. "The
cooling of digital infrastructure is becoming a fundamental factor
in choosing a data center partner and we are committed to raising
awareness of more sustainable options in the industry."
The news follows atNorth's win in the `Digital Infrastructure
Project of the Year' category at the Tech Capital Awards and the
`Colocation Provider of the Year' category at the Electrical Review
& Data Centre Review Awards. Additionally, the business has
also achieved considerable recognition by multiple other awarding
bodies including TechRound's Sustainability60 campaign, the Data
Cloud Global Awards, the Energy Awards, the DCS Awards and the UK
Green Business Awards.
