Accelerating our plans in building datacenters that make sense

Submer is proud to announce a closing of $12 million from international investors

  • And a follow-on investment from Mundi Ventures.

Submer is here to enable a new generation of datacenters by solving performance, efficiency and automation challenges of today and power the use cases of the future”, added Daniel Pope, Co-founder and CEO of Submer.

Our recent partnerships with Kaori, and the hiring of experienced professionals of the datacenter and IT industry such as ex Microsoft and Dell Clinton O’ Leary (Regional Director in the Middle East and Africa), ex-Apple and Yahoo Scott Noteboom (appointed CTO about a year ago) and, recently, CJ Bruno, the former Corporate Vice President and General Manager of Intel Americas – reflect the new stage Submer has entered. We are working together with the best professionals of the industry to really make a change and help datacenters and hyperscalers find a more practical, sustainable and smarter way of doing business”, explained Adrian Whelan, VP of Partners and Business Development at Submer.

“Data centers power human advancement. Their role as a core infrastructure has become more apparent than ever and emerging technologies such as AI and IoT will continue to drive computing needs. However, the environmental footprint of the industry is growing at an alarming rate. We are happy to back Submber who is leading the way in providing environmentally sustainable data centers”, Alexander Danielsson, investment manager at Norrsken VC.
