atNorth, a leading Nordic colocation, high-performance computing, and artificial intelligence service provider announced today an expansion of its partnership with Nordic IT services corporation, Advania, providing additional capacity at its state of the art ICE03 site in Iceland which opened last year.
Advania is a long-standing customer of atNorth at its ICE01 site in Reykjavík in addition to some of atNorth's other data centers in Sweden and Finland. The expansion to the ICE03 campus allows for further geographical separation of their infrastructure and highlights the business's focus on data security, not to mention the benefits of redundancy and performance optimization.
"atNorth's ICE03 site in Akureyri helps to ensure our data security", says Hafsteinn Guðmundsson, Executive Director of IT operations and services at Advania, citing as an example that the regulatory framework of some companies that work with sensitive databases calls for data to be stored in geographically different locations. "It is now possible to achieve such separation and mirroring of data domestically by utilizing two of atNorth's sites in Iceland."
"We are delighted that Advania has chosen to expand into our ICE03 data center as part of our long standing relationship", says Eyjólfur Magnús Kristinsson, CEO at atNorth. "We are proud to be able to offer increased services where security and connectivity is ensured and carbon footprint is minimised."
