    Overview
    The CS-Storm supercomputer is a highly configurable cluster, able to support options specific to individual requirements including a range of NVIDIA Tesla accelerators tested to run at full power, multiple network and topology options for InfiniBand (including fat tree, single/dual rail) and Intel Omni-Path, a customizable HPC cluster software stack, and Cray Sonexion scale-out parallel file system storage.

    The HPE Apollo high-density server family is built for the highest levels of performance and efficiency. They are rack-scale compute, storage, networking, power and cooling – massively scale-up and scale-out – solutions for your big data analytics, object storage and high-performance computing (HPC) workloads. From water-cooling that’s 1,000X more efficient than air, to “right-sized scaling” with 2X the compute density for workgroup and private cloud workloads, the HPE Apollo line is a dense, high-performance, tiered approach for organisations of all sizes.
