Northern Data AG, one of the world’s largest providers of high-performance computing (HPC) solutions, announced that it has acquired Montreal-headquartered Kelvin Emtech Group.
Post acquisition, Northern Data will push its existing strategy of expansion in Canada and across North America, thus enabling the Company to accelerate its growth considerably.
Northern-Data-CEO Aroosh Thillainathan comments on the acquisition, “We have experienced an extreme growth momentum in recent weeks driven by the high demand for computing capacity and in particular for HPC solutions. In the wake of this growth, we are excited to acquire the Canadian KE Group. The know-how and intellectual property of the KE Group is not only a valuable addition to our expertise but also enables us to accelerate simultaneous development and the establishment of additional locations. Above all in its home market Canada, we see the acquisition as a basis to build up further locations for our high-performance computing solutions in the medium-term.”
Denis Pelletier, President, and CEO of KE Group adds, “We are very pleased to be part of Northern Data Group and to bring our experience and expertise in building and operating HPC data centers in the future. With its newest location in Texas, Northern Data is realizing an impressive project. It is a particular pleasure for us to now actively work side by side with the Northern Data team at other locations in North America.”
Founded in 1994, the KE Group provides services for blue-chip customers such as Canada’s largest telecommunications group Bell Canada, the IT service provider CGI Inc., and the International Business Machines Corporation.
