The company reported Q2 revenue of €26 million, driven by performance from its cloud platform and investments in its data center footprint as well as mining facilities. 
Northern Data’s CEO Aroosh Thillainathan emphasized the company’s progress in enhancing its high performance computing capabilities and leveraging partnerships to support growing demand for HPC and generative artificial intelligence.

For the first half of 2024, the Frankfurt-headquartered company achieved a total revenue of €55 million, up 49% year-on-year. The company attributed its growth to the rollout of NVIDIA H100 GPUs, which boosted the company’s cloud performance, which accounted for 46% of Northern Data’s Q2 revenue.
