Where Western Norway meets the world.

Faster than from Oslo.

Avur operates Casperkollen in Bergen — originally built for IBM, designed by engineers who knew what they were building. Own fibre network, own AS number and a shorter route to Amsterdam than any Oslo data centre can offer.

Bergen → Amsterdam 15.5 ms · Bergen → Oslo 5.5 ms · Bergen → Stavanger 1.8 ms

Geographic advantage

Bergen is closer to Amsterdam than Oslo is.

The North Sea cable gives Bergen a direct physical route to Amsterdam that is shorter than the equivalent land-based route from Oslo. The result is measurably lower latency to Europe’s most important hub. For businesses with European traffic — whether peering, content distribution or access to cloud regions in the Netherlands — Bergen is the natural starting point.
Bergen → Amsterdam via the North Sea cable: 15.5 ms. The route is physically shorter than from Oslo. For businesses with European traffic, a Bergen node is not a compromise — it is the shortest path.

Infrastructure

Casperkollen. Built to last.

Originally built for IBM in Bergen — a building designed by engineers who knew what they were building. The construction reflects a standard of requirements that is no longer the norm.

Separate A and B power feeds give each rack two independent power paths. Two separate high-voltage cables secure the supply into the building.

Four fibre routes in separate physical trenches mean that an excavator in the wrong place will not take down the connection.

A dedicated high-voltage transformer is located on the property. Power to Casperkollen does not share fate with the neighbouring block.
