A major increase in computing power
Mission-critical support
Nikhef expanded the infrastructure with:
Computing power and data-analysis capacity are essential for Nikhef:
10petabytes (PB) of
raw data to process every year
X2 Volume of data will double after
2020
X5 Increasing by a factor of �ve
in 2025
Nikhef is working hard to increase the e�ciency of its HPC servers in terms of the
number of calculations made per euro invested in the CPUs.
Enables fast processing of tens of PB of raw dataSupports doubling
of raw data for processing after 2020
High rates of satisfaction among researchers on reliability
Stable performance over 4 years maximises return on investment Faster access to
latest AMD processors through account team
