Getting Useful Data from Big Data

At the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC), researchers analyze mountains of data from widely differing fields, including:

• Supersonic aircraft
• The human brain
• Distant stars

Researchers use high-performance computing on the Center's famous cluster-based supercomputers to solve problems and explore new theories.

But sorting through massive amounts of data like this requires massive amounts of computing power. Keeping the SDSC datacenter cool is a constant challenge.

See how SDSC keeps its cool in this new case study. Learn:

• Why the datacenter chose a custom design, rather than adapting an off-the-shelf system
• What modifications they made to the typical rack design
• How 400 Modbus/TCP power distribution units (PDUs) were integrated into the system

The result? Reduced energy usage, increased levels of control, and lower costs.
