Gcore (formerly G-Core Labs) is a Luxembourg-based global technology provider specializing in edge AI, cloud computing, content delivery, and cybersecurity. Founded in 2014, the company originally built its infrastructure to serve the gaming industry, later expanding to serve enterprises across finance, healthcare, manufacturing, media, and telecommunications. Gcore operates more than 210 points of presence across six continents, with a network capacity exceeding 200 Tbps and over 14,000 peering partners. Its comprehensive suite includes virtual machines, bare-metal servers, object storage, Kubernetes, DDoS mitigation, web application and API protection, DNS, and video streaming. In AI, Gcore offers GPU cloud infrastructure for model training and inference, including the 'Everywhere Inference' serverless platform launched in 2025. The company raised $60 million in Series A funding in 2024, led by Wargaming, and generated over $80 million in revenue that year. Gcore has formed strategic partnerships with Intel, Equinix, Graphcore, and NVIDIA, and was recognized as a Major Player in the IDC MarketScape for European public cloud IaaS in 2024.
Detailed Review
History and Founding
Gcore was founded on February 27, 2014 in Luxembourg by Andre Reitenbach. The company initially focused on providing low-latency content delivery for the gaming industry, particularly supporting Wargaming’s millions of players. Over time, it expanded into underserved regions and formed key technology partnerships with Intel and Equinix in 2020. In 2022, Gcore launched the European AI Cloud, offering GPU-accelerated compute for machine learning. A major milestone came in 2024 with the acquisition of StackPath’s WAAP solution in March, recognition at the NVIDIA Partner Network Awards in April, and a $60 million Series A funding round in July led by Wargaming, with participation from Constructor Capital and Han River. The company also entered a strategic partnership with Northern Data Group in 2025 to form an Intelligence Delivery Network.
Business Model and Products
Gcore generates revenue through a multi-faceted product portfolio spanning cloud and edge infrastructure, content delivery, cybersecurity, and AI services. Its Cloud & Edge offerings include virtual machines, bare-metal servers, object storage, and managed Kubernetes. The global CDN features more than 210 PoPs and over 200 Tbps capacity, optimized for video streaming and large file delivery. Security services include DDoS mitigation, WAAP (acquired from StackPath), DNS protection, and a web application firewall. AI Infrastructure comprises GPU cloud clusters with NVIDIA GPUs, the serverless Everywhere Inference platform, and an AI model library. Additional products include the ISPmanager Business hosting control panel and the Meet video-call platform.
Market Position and Competition
Gcore serves high-profile enterprise clients such as Wargaming, Avast, Sandbox Interactive, NHN Cloud, Photon, and Microsoft. It was recognized as a Major Player in the IDC MarketScape for European public cloud IaaS in 2024, positioning it among notable European cloud providers. The company competes with global giants like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, as well as specialized edge and CDN providers like Cloudflare and Fastly. Its focus on European data sovereignty and low-latency edge AI gives it a distinct advantage in regulated industries. The partnership with Northern Data Group targets the $169 billion AI inferencing market.
Recent Developments and Controversy
In 2024, former German vice-chancellor Philipp Rösler joined Gcore’s board, and AI expert Feiyu Xu joined the advisory board in 2025. The company has faced scrutiny for allegedly assisting the distribution of the sanctioned Russian TV network RT until April 2023, a claim Gcore denies. Nevertheless, its technical capabilities, extensive global network, and recent funding position Gcore as a significant player in the edge AI and cloud infrastructure space. The company employs over 500 people as of 2023 and continues to expand its global footprint.
