Home Insights Case studies atNorth & Advania: a strategic Nordic partnership

A partnership built for the future

Advania turned to atNorth to solve a growing challenge: how to meet increasing customer demand for secure, high-performance, and sustainable infrastructure while maintaining full data sovereignty within the Nordics.

Advania needed geographically separated sites in Iceland for data redundancy and resilience, as well as the capacity to support compute-intensive workloads across the region.

To meet these requirements, Advania expanded its capacity into atNorth’s ICE03 data center in Akureyri, complementing its existing operations at ICE01. This move enables full geographic separation within Iceland – a key requirement for customers in regulated sectors – while benefiting from atNorth’s 100% renewable energy supply and advanced cooling technology.

Together, atNorth and Advania are advancing a shared vision: delivering scalable, efficient, and sovereign compute infrastructure powered by sustainable energy. The collaboration highlights how two Nordic technology leaders can combine strengths to support clients that demand both performance and responsibility.
