MeeFog System Prevents Electrostatic Damage to NCAR Supercomputer
A National Center for Atmospheric Research case study
When the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) decided to build a new supercomputing center, it wanted to take advantage of the free cooling available by the high, dry Wyoming environment.
Opening in 2012, the NCAR Wyoming Supercomputing Center (NWSC) is a 170,000-square-foot data center with two 12,000-square-foot raised-floor spaces. The site will house the IBM Yellowstone 1.6 Petaflop supercomputer in one of those modules, with the other set aside for future expansion.
