Web infrastructure in Oslo
Oslo is Norway's primary data center market, with 15 facilities making it the country's most connected hub. Two operators account for the most capacity: GlobalConnect Group and Blix Solutions AS each run 3 data centers in the city. The Norwegian Internet eXchange operates a facility locally, alongside single-site operators like Webhuset AS and Bulk Infrastructure AS.
Oslo as an internet hub
The city hosts 6 Internet exchange points, the largest being NIX1 with 65 connected networks. FIXO connects 41 networks, and smaller exchanges such as NIX2, DE-CIX Oslo, and two Netnod Oslo fabrics serve specific peering needs. This concentration of IXPs gives Oslo the densest interconnection environment in Norway.
Latency to northern Europe is low thanks to submarine fiber links from Bulk Infrastructure and others. Carriers, cloud providers, and Nordic enterprises buy colocation and cross-connects here to reach Norwegian end-users and the broader Scandinavian market. The mix of local operators and pan-Nordic players serves both retail and wholesale hosting demand.
