Enterprises and research organisations
seeking to leverage the NVIDIA DGX-2
System now have the option to deploy
their AI infrastructure using a cost-
effective Op-Ex solution in Verne Global’s
HPC-optimised campus in Iceland, which
utilises 100% renewable energy and relies
on one of the world’s most reliable and
affordable power grids.
The DGX-2 System – the world’s first two
petaflop system – is the platform of choice
for tackling the world’s most complex AI
challenges, including complex deep neural
networks that were previously untrainable.
Verne Global has been selected to join the
NVIDIA DGX-Ready Data Center Program
following a rigorous certification process
to assess its ability to provide the high
specification hosting environment required
for this complex, high-density system.
Verne Global’s track record for delivering
‘TrueHPC’ solutions at an industrial scale
was also a key factor in its certification.
Its TrueHPC approach focuses on providing
accessible, flexible, optimised and highly
efficient data centre services to its
customers, enabling them to benefit from
genuine HPC processing power and speed.

connectivity portfolio across Dublin
net, a leading wholesale,
open-access network
provider in Ireland, has
added six more data centres across
Dublin to its national network.
The additional data centres allow
it to offer more options when it
comes to dark fibre and managed
bandwidth to its customers and
will result in increased connectivity
for consumers.

Enet is now connected to 25 data
centres. As the company continues
to grow its network, there are also
plans to connect more data centres
in the next 12 months.
Broadband service providers will

It will also allow for diverse
connectivity for mission critical traffic,
peering with other 3rd parties, along
with giving customers more ways to
route international traffic.
The new data centres include
four Equinix sites, Servecentric
Blanchardstown and Keppel Citywest,
while Enet is also connected to data
centres around Ireland and in the UK.
David Eyre, CCO of Enet, said: “At
Enet, we are always looking at ways
to expand the network to the benefit
of our customers. By providing high
capacity data centre connectivity, we
are ensuring that the Enet network can
provide the type of solutions that our
customers require – and that those
benefits are ultimately passed on to
consumers and broadband users.” ◊
