DescriptionOur DOME microDataCenter is a complete
datacenter-in-a-box, consisting of compute, storage,
communication, power and cooling in the densest known
packaged result. It is 20-fold denser than current
datacenter technology, effectively compacting an entire
server rack into a single 2U rack-unit with the same
delivered aggregate compute performance. The DOME
microDataCenter uses commodity parts and standards and
has no moving parts. It was designed from ground up by
ASTRON and IBM research, targeting SKA, and is being
brought to market by ila-microservers which was
incorporated Jan 2017. It recently won the HPC Data
Center Innovation Award from IDC HPC (now hyperion
research). ILA plans to start shipping a qualified
product early 2018 (Orders can be placed this year for
pre-production evaluation systems). The salient features
are 1) very energy efficient, 2) high reliability (no
fans or rotating drives), 3)Hot-water cooling allowing
to capture and resell up to 80% of the electricity
costs, 4) high density. The 2U rack-unit contains two
32-way carriers from yielding 64 servers with up to 1536
cores, 1.5Tbyte memory and 64TB storage with a TDP of
1500W. We will run various applications live including
HPL and the our new BlueBild imager.
