atNorth publishes annual accounts showing highest revenue to date, following a period of significant growth.
REYKJAVIK, Iceland, July 12, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — atNorth, a leading Nordic colocation, high-performance computing, and artificial intelligence service provider has today announced a group income of SEK 560 million  (EUR 53 billion) as it publishes its 2022 annual accounts. This figure represents a 44% increase in revenue from 2021 and further growth is expected in the coming years. Earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation (EBITDA) amounted to SEK 87million (EUR 8m) last year, and decreased between years as the company focused on building teams and infrastructure to meet future growth.
atNorth currently operates six data centers, in Iceland, Sweden and Finland, and is planning further state of the art sites in the coming years. The company’s growth calls for extensive investment and atNorth has secured access to capital for this purpose. The investment for the year 2022 amounted to about SEK 220 million (EUR 20m), and it is already evident that the 2023 level of investment will be significantly higher.
Eyjólfur Magnús Kristinsson, CEO of atNorth, thanks the staff for the company’s good results. “In recent years, we have built an enormas wealth of knowledge. Our customers value our services and it is core to atNorth’s good reputation”, says Eyjólfur Magnús. He also commends the support of the company’s powerful sponsor, Partners Group, that acquired the majority of the company’s shares at the beginning of 2022.
As the global trend of digital transformation continues, as well as the increase in the use of AI and other big data projects businesses are becoming more and more reliant on supercomputers to perform increasingly complex calculations. This demand is fuelling the need for high performance data center and supercomputing services which have increased exponentially in recent years.
atNorth continues to promote the Nordic region as a superlative location for investment in digital infrastructure – recently winning the The Tech Capital Location Award for Iceland as a result of its advantageous climate, favorable business environment and cutting-edge infrastructure. Eyjólfur Magnús comments, “Iceland is truly on the map, and with our best-in-class data centers, outstanding customer service and proficient marketing communications, atNorth is proud to have created a desirable position in the market.”
A strong emphasis on sustainable energy use lies at the heart of the business, which has been very well received by the company’s customers. By entrusting the operation of their computer systems to atNorth, many companies have reduced their own ecological footprint, resulting in an overall benefit of a reduction in computer operations powered by fossil fuels as used by many traditional data centers.

Huawei Cloud: Thrive with the Cloud and Reshape Industries with AI

Published

huawei-cloud:-thrive-with-the-cloud-and-reshape-industries-with-ai

SHANGHAI, Sept. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — At HUAWEI CONNECT 2024, Executive Director of the Board of Huawei and CEO of Huawei Cloud Zhang Ping’an delivered a keynote speech “Thrive with the Cloud: Reshaping Industries with AI”. Zhang states that enterprises must seize opportunities in the intelligent era and use AI to build competitive advantages. The key is to adopt an AI-native mindset now.

First, enterprises should actively embrace AI, open up industry scenarios, and develop enterprise AI platforms. This will enable AI to serve their core business. Today, Huawei Cloud Pangu Models have been applied in more than 30 industries and 400 scenarios.
Second, AI computing power is critical. Enterprises need to build AI-native cloud infrastructure that matches their requirements. Zhang officially released CloudMatrix to interconnect and pool all resources including CPUs, NPUs, DPUs and memory. It marks an evolution from monolithic to matrix compute. CloudMatrix comprises an AI-native cloud infrastructure in which everything can be pooled, peer-to-peer, and composed, providing enterprises with abundant AI computing power.
Third, data quality determines the effectiveness of AI models. We need to build knowledge-centric data foundations to enable data to serve AI better. Huawei Cloud has fully upgraded DataArts to provide customers with AI-oriented and knowledge-centric data foundations. The updated features include AI+data convergence engines, data development and governance, knowledge services, and AI+data application enablement services.
Fourth, build suitable AI models based on business applications. We must abandon the misconception that larger models are better. It is not feasible to address all needs with just one foundation model. Pangu Models 5.0 are available in different sizes, with parameters in the billions, tens of billions, hundreds of billions, and trillions. The complete series of Pangu models meet practically all business application needs.
In addition, Huawei Cloud’s Pangu 5.0 models enhance spatiotemporal controllable generation (STCG) in the field of multimodal generation. For autonomous driving,the Pangu model can generate driving scenarios that accurately mirror the physical world. It can generate videos that reflect normal driving scenarios, random road conditions and accidental and aggressive driving, allowing automotive enterprises to train autonomous driving more efficiently.
Huawei Cloud officially released the Mainframe-to-Cloud Solution, designed to help customers develop new core systems on the cloud with high availability, easy O&M, and better agility, helping customers achieve 99.999% financial-grade high availability. Currently, most banks in China have chosen Huawei to build their new core systems on the cloud.
Tao Jingwen, Huawei’s Director of the Board and President of the Quality, Business Process & IT Mgmt Dept, recounted Huawei’s digital transformation journey. Huawei has developed a methodology, which can be broken down into three layers, five phases, and eight steps. The three layers are redefining intelligent business, AI model development and delivery, and ongoing optimization of intelligent applications. The five phases are identifying suitable scenarios, reshaping processes, transforming organizations, optimizing corporate data, and adopting AI applications.
Bruno Zhang, CTO of Huawei Cloud, presented insights on how Huawei Cloud is leveraging AI to reshape data centers, infrastructure, and cloud services. He also addressed the construction of an AI-native cloud designed to accelerate intelligence in industries. The “1+N” Pangu assistant system, unveiled by Mr. Zhang, signifies a new era in cloud service interaction. The system includes Pangu Doer, and the myriad use cases in product R&D, data analytics, security, and office collaboration, where Pangu models are trained using the scenario-specific data, know-how, and practices to enhance cloud services and boost efficiency with tailored AI.
