● Riihimäki, Finland
The Riihimäki facility
The site where it all happens. A compute facility being built in a place that, once you look at it, makes a lot of sense.
A site that makes sense
The facility sits in Riihimäki, about an hour from Helsinki and one of Finland’s original railway junction cities, a place built around moving things efficiently. It is close enough to the capital to be convenient, and far enough out to be calm, with room and power to grow.
The building itself has a past. It started as a bakery, spent years as a warehouse for IT equipment, and is now being rebuilt from the inside out for compute. We kept what was good about it and changed what needed changing.
The location case goes deeper than convenience. We wrote about why Finland makes sense for compute.
Power and cooling
The site is built for high-density compute, with redundant power and backup generation so workloads keep running through the unexpected. Cooling is designed for efficiency in the Nordic climate, using free cooling where the weather does the work for us, and water-based cooling for the highest-density rooms. The whole design is set up so that the heat we generate can be put to good use rather than wasted.
Connectivity
The facility is connected with redundant fibre on separate physical paths, so a single cut does not take you offline. Inside, the network is built with redundancy throughout. As we grow, we are adding further connectivity and routes, because for compute infrastructure, the network matters as much as the power.
Security
Access to the site is controlled and logged, with surveillance and monitoring throughout, and visitor access by arrangement only. Internal access is limited to what each role needs. Our security practices are being built around the ISO/IEC 27001 framework as we work toward certification, so good habits are designed in from the start rather than bolted on later.
STATUS
● In build, coming online in 2027
