Nordic colocation provider atNorth has bought a 30-hectare plot for a potential data center in Långsele, Sweden. Located in the Sollefteå municipality in Hamre Industripark, the land will host the company’s first ‘mega site.'
“This is a fantastic opportunity for Sollefteå municipality and the Hamre area,” said Johan Andersson, chair of the municipal executive committee. “We are delighted to collaborate with atNorth, a company that leads in data center solutions and sustainable technology. This project can help strengthen our region as a hub for innovative development.”
atNorth was formed as Advania in 2012 from three components: Skyrr, a public sector IT specialist in Iceland; Kerfi, a Swedish outfit with roots in a Nokia spinoff called Datapoint, and Hands from Norway. Swiss investment manager Partners Group acquired the company in December 2021. In 2023, the company acquired HPC provider Gompute.
