The units are full HPC systems that combine computation, management, storage functionality as well as liquid cooling infrastructure that guarantees compactness and absence of noise. Architecturally, they group together direct liquid cooled blades, an Infiniband switch, a monitoring unit, a front node and an Ethernet switch, plus an optional storage unit. The G-Station makes available full supercomputer functionality in a compact box that, thanks to water cooling, makes little or no noise and doesn’t need air conditioning or a controlled environment. The Auroras are marketed in two versions, with identical IT features but different water cooling solutions. One version is split, with the computational unit in a cube that fits under a table and the cooling unit in a separate unit that can be accommodated outside the building, with the same technical complexity and plumbing requirements of a home split air conditioner. The other version of the product is a special requirement and has integrated water cooling, giving the advantage of a standalone system with no need of additional plumbing.
