The data center on the edge of the Arctic Circle

At our Glomfjord data center, we’re proving that the future of AI can grow hand-in-hand with local communities. Watch our episode from BBC Storyworks' "Transforming Tomorrow" series, to see how Nscale is helping transform tomorrow’s digital foundation.

Nscale features in the brand-new online series 'Transforming Tomorrow' — highlighting how innovative and sustainable AI infrastructure is shaping the future.The episode takes you inside our data center in Glomfjord, Norway where we’re building a resilient, future-ready data center powered by 100% renewable energy. You’ll hear from Alex Sharp, President of Nscale’s Data Center Group, and Daniel Bergli, Nscale’s Director of Industry Partnerships, as they share our vision for how the way we build today can redefine how we live tomorrow.The series is presented by IPFA and produced for them by BBC StoryWorks Commercial Productions.

About

Glomfjord is a small industrial town of 1000 people in the North of Norway, just above the Arctic Circle. The industry in the town is based around the 120MW hydro power plant that was built at the end of the fjord over 100 years ago.

This unique location is perfectly suited to High Performance Computing (HPC) and the computational requirements of AI—it’s cold, well connected, and there is a stable oversupply of renewable energy.

Nscale is actively investing in the community. We are putting money towards local infrastructure, creating jobs, and looking to reuse the data centers generated heat for things such as warming the local community swimming pool.
