Fluidstack, an AI cloud platform, announced it is deploying and managing exascale clusters across Iceland and Europe in collaboration with Borealis Data Center, Dell Technologies and NVIDIA.
“Our mission has always been to support the most exceptional AI labs, researchers and enterprises on the planet,” said Cesar Maklary, co-founder and president of Fluidstack. “In collaboration with Borealis, Dell and NVIDIA, we can rapidly deploy high-density GPU supercomputers for both European and global customers, all while using 100% renewable energy.”
Borealis Data Center, a green data center infrastructure company, will provide Fluidstack with facilities powered by 100% renewable energy. Located in Iceland and operating across the Nordics, Borealis’ facilities benefit from a cold climate and renewable hydro and geothermal power.
“This partnership highlights a shared commitment to enabling next-generation AI while minimizing its environmental impact,” said Björn Brynjúlfsson, CEO of Borealis.
Fluidstack will leverage Dell PowerEdge XE9680 servers, optimized for AI workloads with NVIDIA HGX H200. Combined with NVIDIA’s Quantum-2 InfiniBand networking Dell servers offer best-in-class performance and reliability for AI workloads.
“We’re looking forward to working with Fluidstack, Borealis and NVIDIA to deploy advanced, sustainable AI infrastructure across Europe,” said Arun Narayanan, senior vice president, Compute and Networking, Dell Technologies. “Dell PowerEdge XE9680 servers combined with NVIDIA’s GPUs and networking are purpose-built to efficiently support rapidly growing AI workloads, helping customers achieve unprecedented efficiency and scalability while lowering cost and energy usage.”
Europe’s AI data center market is projected to reach $29.8 billion by 2026.
