"NorthC Group will start construction of a new data center in Geneva in the first quarter of this year. The facility will have a capacity of 4.5MW and will be specially prepared for AI workloads with direct-to-chip liquid cooling. It will be the organization's sixth data center in Switzerland. The new data center will be built on The Hive campus, a technology park just outside Geneva. NorthC will deliver the total IT capacity of 4.5MW in phases of 1.5MW."
"NorthC is committed to sustainability in its construction. The data center runs on 100 percent green electricity and the cooling system does not consume any water. Emergency power generators use HVO100 fuel instead of diesel. HVO100 is produced from renewable raw materials such as vegetable oils and waste fats. The data center is being prepared for demanding applications. Using direct-to-chip (D2C) liquid cooling, the facility supports AI inference and high-performance computing. This cooling technology dissipates heat from computer chips more efficiently than traditional methods."
Construction will start in the first quarter and the data center will provide 4.5MW IT capacity in phases of 1.5MW, with the first phase due in the second quarter of 2028. The 5,400-square-meter facility on The Hive campus near Geneva will be NorthC's sixth Swiss data center and is configured for AI workloads using direct-to-chip (D2C) liquid cooling to support AI inference and high-performance computing. The site will run on 100 percent green electricity, use waterless cooling, and employ HVO100 fuel for emergency generators. A modular design enables rapid scaling and more efficient energy consumption. Geneva's commercial status and proximity to CERN create opportunities for scientific collaboration.
