What Go Virtual does

Go Virtual Nordic AB is a privately held Swedish HPC systems integrator founded in 2002 and headquartered in Askim (Gothenburg), Sweden, with a wholly-owned German subsidiary (Go Virtual Germany GmbH) in Ratingen. The company designs, sources, integrates, and supports supercomputers and cluster systems primarily for industrial and research customers, combining hardware from tier-1 vendors (Intel, AMD, Nvidia, Supermicro, Huawei, Kaytus, Cornelis Networks, DDN, Panasas) with software layers including NICE DCV for remote 3D visualization and EnginFrame for workload management. Over 23 years it has delivered more than 250 HPC systems to over 200 customers across Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Germany, the UK, the USA, and Japan. Named deployments include the National Supercomputer Centre (NSC) serving SAAB and SMHI, Volkswagen Passenger Cars for DCV-based remote visualization, and recent manufacturing and life-sciences workloads spanning CFD/crash simulation, AI, molecular dynamics, and genomics.

The company operates a four-pillar product and services portfolio: (1) Supercomputers — integrated clusters with management, compute, GPU-accelerated FEM, storage, and interconnect nodes running Linux; (2) Storage — NVMe/SAS/SATA-based high-performance storage solutions with encryption; (3) HPC Professional Services — assessment, turnkey cluster integration, premium system assistance, and ongoing managed services with ITIL-aligned processes; and (4) Services & Support — customizable multi-year SLAs with Level 1 (next business day) and Level 2 (4-hour, 24/7) response tiers. The December 2025 deployment of approximately 600 water-cooled nodes in partnership with Kaytus, Huawei, and Cornelis Networks demonstrates capability in high-density, liquid-cooled HPC infrastructure relevant to AI and convergence workloads.

Go Virtual earns revenue primarily through hardware sales (supercomputers and storage), professional services (assessment, integration, premium support), and recurring managed services under multi-year SLAs. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales augmented by event-driven demand generation (annual HPC Seminars in Gothenburg plus partner webinars) and a broad technology partner ecosystem spanning silicon, server, storage, interconnect, and software vendors. The company is ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified, holds no disclosed external funding, and operates with a lean 14-person team.
