Automation Datacenter Facilities News

On March 12, 2019 Uptime Institute provided the SAFE MUP AiO 200 -KW DX DRUPS design with the TIER III Ready designation. After rigorous review it has satisfactorily proven ready to support Concurrent Maintainability and their readiness to support a TIER III build objective for 200 kilowatts (kW) of IT load.

The new data center for CERN’s Large Hadron Collider experiment becomes fully operational (expected toward the end of the year). The current data center sits underground, 300 feet below surface. The new data center is much larger: 32,500-square foot, 3MW and it will sit on the surface and requires a fiber optic connection.

The criteria for datacenters and the whole industry become more stringent concerning their economical and ecological impact. Automation’s design focusses more than ever on cooling systems that enable decreasing consumption while being highly efficient. For the...

At the ISC 2018 conference in Frankfurt last June, Niko Neufeld, Project leader at LHCb, elaborated CERN's reply to the computing and storage challenges related to the Large Hadron Collider’s (LHCb) Upgrade Program and the decision to go for the Prefabricated...

De zandrekenaar. De column die alle hoeken van de wetenschap verkent. Het is natuurlijk heel mooi wat de LHC, de grote deeltjesversneller van het Europese laboratorium CERN bij Genève, al heeft gepresteerd. Eindelijk het langverwachte higgsboson gevonden, een prima...

Niko Neufeld on ISC 2018 Speaking Slot: 27 June 2018 13:20 till 13:40 in booth N-210 CERN’s Reply to the Computing and Storage Challenges related to the Large Hadron Collider’s (LHCb) Upgrade Program: Prefabricated Datacenter Modules by Automation – Where performance...

Prefabricated Datacenter Modules for high performance computing: Where performance meets efficiency Automation’s SAFE HPC range addresses the growing need of (extra) capacity in existing datacenters while keeping the price tag at an affordable level. Indeed disruptive...

Delivery of 10 Prefabricated Datacenter Modules for 2 CERN experiments Halle-based Automation wins an order for the expansion of the datacenters for 2 experiments at CERN. Thanks to the 10 modules, more information can be collected and managed at a reasonable cost and...
