Ideal Customer
- Gcore targets a wide spectrum from individual developers and startups to large enterprises and public organizations, with messaging explicitly directed at both SMBs and enterprise customers.
- Their self-serve pricing, startup grants program, and low entry-level costs attract smaller businesses and developers, while their enterprise-grade SLAs, private AI cloud, sovereign infrastructure, and global scale appeal to large multinational corporations, telcos, and public sector organizations.
Key Differentiators

- As the only European provider named a Leader in GigaOm's 2025 AI Infrastructure Radar, Gcore positions itself as the alternative to US hyperscalers (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Cloudflare) for organizations requiring data sovereignty, low latency in underserved regions (Africa, LATAM, Middle East), and integrated edge AI inference.
Industries Served
- Gcore provides low-latency services to a broad range of industries including gaming, media and entertainment, finance, healthcare, manufacturing, telecommunications, retail, e-commerce, online education, iGaming, and the public sector.
- The company originally built its CDN for the gaming industry (serving Wargaming's World of Tanks at over one million peak concurrent users) and has since expanded to serve financial services, SaaS platforms, government agencies, and AI-native companies.
Service Coverage
- Gcore operates a truly global infrastructure spanning six continents, with 210+ Points of Presence (PoPs) for CDN and edge delivery and 50+ cloud locations worldwide.
- Their network covers North America, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia-Pacific, with specific PoPs in dozens of countries including the US (Ashburn, Atlanta, Dallas, Los Angeles, Miami, and more), major European cities, and emerging markets across Africa and Latin America.
Partnerships
- Gcore maintains formal technology partnerships with NVIDIA, Intel, Dell, Equinix, and Ampere, among others.
- The NVIDIA relationship is particularly deep — Gcore's GPU infrastructure runs on NVIDIA A100, H100, H200, and GB200 GPUs, they have integrated NVIDIA Dynamo for managed AI inference, and they are an official NVIDIA partner recognized at the EMEA Partner Network Awards.
Company Size & Ownership
- Gcore was founded on February 27, 2014 by Andre Reitenbach and currently employs approximately 500–600 people across 10 global offices.
- Estimated annual revenue ranges from $70M–$126M depending on the source, with Growjo estimating ~$70M as of late 2023 and ZoomInfo/Datanyze citing ~$126M.
Compliance & Certifications
- Gcore holds certifications and complies with PCI DSS (confirmed via annual QSA audit), ISO 27001, SOC 2, and GDPR, and its Tier III and Tier IV data centers meet high infrastructure reliability standards.
- The company's cloud infrastructure supports GDPR-compliant data sovereignty through edge geofencing, and its ERP hosting solution is specifically noted for GDPR, PCI DSS, and ISO 27001 compliance.
