As Europe races to build sovereign AI infrastructure, a bold move from Poland is catching the tech world’s attention. Beyond.pl, a Poznan-based data center provider, has launched a powerful new AI Factory equipped with Nvidia’s DGX SuperPOD and Pure Storage technology—ushering in a new era of high-performance computing in Central and Eastern Europe.
The rollout marks the region’s first AI supercomputing platform designed with full data sovereignty in mind. At a time when European businesses are seeking both regulatory compliance and cutting-edge AI performance, Beyond.pl’s infrastructure offers a rare blend of local data control and enterprise-grade compute power.
Sovereign AI Infrastructure, Supercharged by Nvidia and Pure Storage
The heart of Beyond.pl’s AI Factory is Nvidia’s DGX SuperPOD system, powered by the next-gen Blackwell GPU architecture and DGX B200 hardware. These high-density machines are connected via Nvidia Quantum-2 InfiniBand, forming a cohesive infrastructure that supports the massive computational needs of modern AI training and inference.
To enhance data throughput and reduce latency, Beyond.pl also integrated Pure Storage’s FlashBlade//S500—an enterprise-class storage platform certified for DGX SuperPOD environments. This enables concurrent file and object storage operations, giving developers faster access to data pipelines and minimizing bottlenecks during intensive workloads.
The result is an AI-ready environment with the scalability and energy efficiency needed to meet global standards. And it’s not just about hardware. Beyond.pl’s campus offers up to 140kW per rack colocation, running entirely on renewable energy and boasting a Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) of just 1.2.
Wojciech Stramski, CEO of Beyond.pl, says the facility is designed to empower businesses across Poland and the wider CEE region to innovate confidently—with full control over their data and intellectual property. “This investment helps ensure that local innovators can scale their ideas globally without compromise,” he notes.
Poznan’s Green AI Factory Vision and Europe’s New Digital Frontier
But Beyond.pl’s ambitions go beyond processing speed. The company is also working with Veolia Energia Poznan to recover up to 30MW of waste heat from its operations—marking the first collaboration of its kind between a Polish data center and a district heating network.
Located in Poznan, the Beyond.pl campus offers fast data transfer to key European markets, including Berlin, Warsaw, Prague, Frankfurt, and London. It currently draws from a committed 100MW power supply, with a target capacity of 150MW—positioning it as a potential flagship site in Europe’s AI infrastructure landscape.
The timing couldn’t be better. Global projections indicate dozens of gigawatt-scale AI factories will be built in the coming years to meet surging demand. Nvidia’s Vice President Carlo Ruiz describes these facilities as the engines of a new industrial revolution. “The Beyond.pl DGX SuperPOD brings transformative AI supercomputing to Central Eastern Europe, empowering sovereign innovation at scale,” he says.
For a region long overshadowed by Western Europe’s tech dominance, Beyond.pl’s move is a strong statement: the future of AI in Europe won’t be confined to its westward borders. In fact, it might just be getting started in Poznan.
