atNorth and AI infrastructure provider Crusoe announced the significant expansion of Crusoe Cloud capacity at atNorth’s ICE02 data center in Iceland. This strategic expansion is designed to meet the surging demand for Crusoe Cloud services from customers of all sizes across Europe and North America.
Crusoe and atNorth’s original partnership was announced in December 2023, outlining plans for 33MW of capacity at atNorth’s ICE02 data center. The new collaboration involves a 24MW expansion agreement for the campus, which is a key component of Crusoe’s growing European strategy.
Already benefiting from low-latency networks and fully redundant connectivity via multiple undersea fiber optic cables that provide critical access for customers across international markets, the ICE02 upgrade also includes the installation of NVIDIA GB200 NVL72 infrastructure, NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs, and NVIDIA Hopper GPUs that exemplify the future of generative AI. Powered by renewable energy, the ICE02 data center has also been fitted with Direct Liquid to Chip (DLC) cooling infrastructure, demonstrating both business’ commitment to responsible low carbon operations.
“Crusoe runs the infrastructure for intelligence,” said Chase Lochmiller co-founder and CEO, Crusoe. “Our partnership with atNorth allows us to leverage the abundant geothermal and hydroelectric power in Iceland to build energy-first AI infrastructure so that our customers can run their most demanding AI workloads on Crusoe Cloud.”.
“We are delighted with Crusoe’s success in serving its clients via our data centers and are excited to announce this significant development in our ongoing partnership,” says Eyjólfur Magnús Kristinsson, CEO atNorth. “The expansion of our ICE02 site features cutting-edge infrastructure and highly energy-efficient Direct Liquid to Chip (DLC) cooling technology. This aligns with both companies’ commitment to sustainability, and we are proud to support Crusoe on their path to decarbonize their workloads while delivering AI-ready solutions in an environmentally responsible way.”
