Supercomputer center increases data center efficiencies with flywheels
Since its inception in 1985, the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) at the University of California San Diego has been a beacon of light for scientific, engineering, and health care discovery. Through its computational science and data-intensive high-performance computing (HPC) systems and resources, SDSC has become a globally recognized leader in everything “Big Data.”
SDSC is an Organized Research Unit of UC San Diego which takes great pride in sustainability and the many awards won by the Center for its contributions to smart energy management for a cleaner planet. So when it was time for SDSC management to consider more efficient solutions for protecting its critical computer systems, traditional methods were not going to advance its efficiency goals.
