CoreWeave has selected a Bulk Infrastructure data center in Norway to host a Nvidia GB200 NVL72 cluster deployment.

The cluster will be located at Bulk’s N01 data center Campus in Vennesla, and will have the Nvidia GB200 NVL72 configuration, interconnected by Nvidia Quantum-2 InfiniBand networking.

The deployment is expected to be operational by the summer of 2025.

The size of the cluster has not been shared, but has been described by the companies as “one of the largest Nvidia AI deployments in Europe.”

“We’re excited to partner with Bulk to further expand our regional footprint and capacity in Europe to support the growing need for AI and high-performance computing across the region,” said Mike Mattacola, chief business officer, CoreWeave. “Bulk’s commitment to sustainability, future-proof infrastructure, and ability to scale supporting our expansion plans make them an ideal partner in Norway.”

Jon Gravråk, CEO of Bulk Infrastructure, added: “Working with a globally renowned AI-company like CoreWeave marks a significant milestone for Bulk. Securing an AI deployment of this size demonstrates our capability to meet the needs of our major customers. Our N01 data center campus is uniquely equipped to meet the stringent demands of AI workloads, and this collaboration aligns perfectly with our mission to provide sustainable and scalable digital infrastructure solutions.”

The N01 data center campus is located on a three-square-km site next to a transformer station just outside of Kristiansand in the Agder region. The campus uses 100 percent renewable energy from multiple hydropower stations. Bulk has 400MW of power secured at the site, with expansion possible up to 1GW. In January 2024, Bulk broke ground on a 42MW expansion at the campus.

BGO is an investor in Bulk Infrastructure, contributing $380 million in June 2024, bringing its total support to more than $700m since 2020.

CoreWeave began offering the Nvidia GB200 NVL72 instances in February of this year, initially from the company’s US-West-01 region. The initial offering of GB200 NVL72-based instances on CoreWeave connect 36 Nvidia Grace CPUs and 72 Nvidia Blackwell GPUs in a liquid-cooled, rack-scale design, are available as bare-metal instances through CoreWeave Kubernetes Service, and are scalable up to 110,000 GPUs.

The company announced plans to invest $2.2 billion across Europe in 2024 to expand its AI infrastructure powered by renewable energy.

CoreWeave was founded in 2017 as a cryptomining firm, but has become one of the biggest players in AI infrastructure after pivoting to offer access to GPUs. The company is currently preparing for an IPO. By the end of 2024, CoreWeave had opened 28 data centers globally, with an additional 10 new data centers planned across 2025.

In January, it announced its first UK deployments, taking space in data centers operated by Global Switch and Digital Realty.
