What DATAKOM does

DATAKOM is a privately held German IT services firm headquartered in Ismaning, founded in 1986, with 11-50 employees. Its longstanding positioning is as a consulting and integration partner for IT security and IT measurement technology, serving enterprise and institutional clients in Germany. The firm has historically operated as a system integrator and consulting house rather than a product vendor, though pricing models, customer lists, and revenue figures are not publicly disclosed.

In December 2025, DATAKOM announced a significant extension of its activity with the launch of a supercomputer cluster in Latvia. The system delivers two petaflops of compute across more than 12,300 processing cores with high-speed data transfer, and is positioned as the first major HPC installation in Latvia. The cluster is targeted at AI development and training, financial modeling and analysis, and defense simulations, and is offered to companies and institutions across the Baltic region. This move marks a pivot from pure consulting toward capital-intensive HPC infrastructure-as-a-service in an adjacent geography.

The combined business model therefore spans two distinct surfaces: a legacy consulting/integration practice in German IT security and measurement, and a newly launched HPC service in the Baltic region. No pricing, contract structure, or customer commitments for the HPC service have been disclosed, and no segment-level financial breakdown is available, making the revenue mechanics of either line undetermined from the source material.

Broad incumbents

• OVHcloud: OVHcloud is a European hyperscaler offering bare-metal and GPU cloud compute, including HPC-flavored instances aimed at European sovereign-compute buyers. Comparable as a larger European infrastructure provider whose pricing and data-residency story competes directly with regional HPC operators.
• Supermicro: Supermicro designs and sells HPC and GPU server systems used by European research centers, AI startups, and integrators. Comparable as a competing supplier of the underlying server and accelerator hardware that DATAKOM's cluster relies on.
• Dell Technologies: Dell PowerEdge HPC and HPC Storage systems are widely deployed in European research and enterprise clusters, including in Germany. Comparable as a competing HPC infrastructure vendor and integrator in the same European buyer market.
• Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE): HPE is a global HPC incumbent via its Cray supercomputing portfolio and sells scale-out HPC clusters similar in architecture to DATAKOM's Latvia cluster. It is relevant as the benchmark large-vendor competitor against which any regional HPC operator must justify its value proposition.
• Lenovo: Lenovo's ThinkSystem HPC and ThinkStation lines include x86 scale-out clusters and GPU servers used in research and enterprise HPC deployments worldwide. Comparable as a competing supplier of the underlying HPC hardware architecture DATAKOM operates.

Direct peers

• Atos (Eviden): Eviden, the Atos supercomputing arm, builds and operates BullSequana HPC systems for European customers including in Germany and the Baltic region. Directly comparable as a European HPC builder-operator whose target buyers and deployment model overlap with DATAKOM's.
• IT4Innovations (Czech National Supercomputing Center): IT4Innovations operates national HPC infrastructure in the Czech Republic for academic and industry users across Central Europe. Comparable as a Central European national-scale HPC operator serving researchers, industry, and public-sector buyers in a similar regional context to Latvia.
• LuxProvide: LuxProvide operates the MeluXina supercomputer in Luxembourg, a small European country offering sovereign HPC capacity to national and EU researchers. Directly comparable as a European national/regional HPC operator with a similar sovereign-compute go-to-market.

Emerging players

• Gcore: Gcore is a European cloud and edge provider offering GPU compute and AI infrastructure with strong presence in Eastern Europe and the CIS region. Comparable as an emerging European alternative for AI/HPC workloads that could compete for the same Baltic-region customers.

Regional players

• CSC (IT Center for Science, Finland): CSC operates the LUMI and other pan-Nordic supercomputers, including serving Baltic research collaborations. Comparable as a Northern European HPC operator with overlapping customer bases in research and public-sector AI workloads, though anchored in Finland rather than the Baltics.
