Reykjavik, Iceland – 1st November 2022 – atNorth, the leading pan-Nordic colocation, high performance computing and artificial intelligence service provider, has announced that it has joined the WEKA Innovation (WIN) Program to bring the WEKA Data Platform for AI to its customers.

By partnering with WEKA, atNorth can provide its customers with a top-tier flexible performance storage solution that meets the most demanding workloads such as AI and that can also grow and scale alongside their business needs.
