DelftBlue: TU Delft Receives 85% Performance Boost with Fujitsu and NetApp

TU Delft has received a major boost to their computing power with the help of Fujitsu and NetApp. The two IT players have integrated their solutions into DelftBlue, a supercomputer consisting of fifteen separate HPC clusters already in use by TU Delft. This integration has resulted in an 85 percent performance increase over the university’s previous supercomputers.

DelftBlue: A Powerful Supercomputer

DelftBlue is now ranked 250th on the list of the world’s fastest supercomputers. This increased computing power is necessary for the university to work with AI and big data projects. The new supercomputer is able to solve new issues and accelerate the speed of research. Hundreds of users can now use the computing power at the same time, without having to wait for permission.

Fujitsu and NetApp: The Heroes of DelftBlue

Fujitsu was responsible for linking the fifteen separate HPC clusters together into one HPC cluster. NetApp provided the storage system and a solution to scale the performance and capacity of the supercomputer as needed. Thanks to their combined efforts, TU Delft now has access to a powerful supercomputer that can handle their AI and big data projects.
