While waiting to gradually become familiar with the Leonardo supercomputer and its importance for the city of Bologna, it is worth discovering, thanks to CINECA, some more information on the data center that will host it inside the Big Data Technopole.
It is a "machine room" capable of hosting servers, storage, uninterruptible power supplies and other equipment relating to communication and the corporate information system.
It is a data processing center that allows you to store, monitor and manage machines and telecommunications systems.
In an ad hoc video, Daniele Spada, Project Manager of Cefla, the company that was responsible for the plant engineering, told how the structure that houses the new supercomputer was built.
Stefania Piretti, director of the works, and Fabio Melloni, operational director of the CINECA plants, instead showed the first racks and recounted the "green" choice that the Interuniversity Consortium for Automatic Calculation of North-Eastern Italy has decided to make in the spaces of the former tobacco factory.
