Default OT: ILM\'s new computer systems

Just read an article on the new computer setup that ILM has installed at the Presidio. Apparently, this is now THE most powerful computer in the private sector. Here's the stats.

The main data center includes a 3,000-processor server farm, approximately 150TB of network-attached storage and a 10 Gigabit Ethernet backbone that may be the largest built by any company to date. It has some 340 10Gbit ports and supports traffic loads of 130TB per day. Power and cooling systems sit in two adjacent rooms, which helps to keep maintenance traffic out of the data center.

Impressive, most impressive . . . .

Hey Fyron, this is what you need of for SE.net!
