In 2020, Qarnot established a data centre in Kankaanpää, Finland, that provides district heating to around 10,000 households.
Qarnot is transforming European HPC cloud computing with an intuitive High-Performance Computing as a Service (HPCaaS) platform. Designed for engineers in critical sectors like aerospace, energy, automotive, and naval, Qarnot provides powerful computational resources without the complexities and high costs of traditional IT infrastructure.
What makes Qarnot stand out is its innovative, proprietary infrastructure that reuses waste heat from its liquid-cooled servers for local district heating networks, offering significant cost savings (up to 50% lower than traditional providers) and a remarkably reduced carbon footprint. This independently operated, European-based infrastructure ensures data sovereignty and security for sensitive industries.
Through its flexible web, SDK, API, and CLI access, Qarnot enables R&D teams to accelerate engineering, streamline workflows, and achieve precise, reproducible results with seamless integration with leading solvers like Ansys Fluent, Abaqus, and OpenFOAM.
