Options Technology has launched a new AI-optimised private cloud datacentre in Iceland, aimed at enhancing security, high-performance computing, and sustainability for capital markets clients. The facility, designed for high-density private AI workloads, offers a 72% reduction in per kVA costs compared with traditional U.S. sites. Powered entirely by renewable energy, it enables clients to achieve zero carbon emissions while benefiting from advanced liquid cooling systems, closed-loop water infrastructure, and sub-100ms connectivity to both Europe and North America.
The Iceland deployment responds to increasing demand from hedge funds, investment banks, and trading firms seeking secure and compliant environments for scaling AI workloads. It marks the first stage of Options’ wider infrastructure modernisation programme, with further AI-ready environments planned across global financial hubs in 2025 and beyond. The announcement follows a series of recent milestones, including recognition in the Broadcom/VMware Global Partner Program, expansion of its Cambridge operations, and the extension of Microsoft Cloud Solution Partner capabilities into Dubai.
