Case Studies
Net Logistics
How do you maintain your reputaion for excellent services and support, while ramping up to compete against major new market entrants?
For Australian hosting and colocation provider net logistics, the answer was to replace its Dell infrastructure with Flex System servers and switches from Lenovo. The new infrastructure offers greater reliability and flexibility, at 15 percent lower cost.

PIK (Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research)
The Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) studies global climate change and its ecological, economic and social effects. To ensure its scientists can analyze and evaluate huge volumes of data efficiently, PIK needed to grow its high performance computing capacities considerably. With a new Lenovo supercomputer, PIK can run complex data simulations and models up to nine times faster – helping scientists in their quest to gain a deeper understanding of climate change and devise strategies for a sustainable development of humankind and
nature.

CERFACS
For research center CERFACS, finding better solutions to scientific problems requires more complex simulations and ultimately, more powerful computing resources. Resolving to triple the power of its internal computing cluster, the organization found the optimal balance between throughput and total cost of ownership in a Lenovo supercomputer with 6,000 cores. Enabling up to 30 percent performance gains and 50 percent energy savings, the solution is helping CERFACS lead the way in research innovation.

University of Oxford
The University of Oxford, renowned for its academic excellence, wanted to better support researchers from all faculties. With its existing cluster struggling to cope with growing demand for high performance computing, the university worked with Lenovo and OCF to deploy
a Lenovo NeXtScale System M5 cluster with over 5,000 Intel processor cores. With the Lenovo solution, the university can now offer researchers from a wide range of disciplines a truly state-of-the-art research tool, helping to maintain its sparkling reputation.

Technische Universität Darmstadt
The Need
For universities, staying at the forefront of academic research depends increasingly on providing scientists with access to powerful, flexible and energy-efficient supercomputing facilities.
The Solution
TU Darmstadt deployed a new supercomputing environment based on System x® iDataPlex® dx360 M4, System x3850 X5, System x3550 M4, System x3650 M4 and System x3750 M4 servers.
The Benefit
The solution offers 38 times the performance of the previous supercomputer, and allows administrators to cut time spent on routine management. High energy efficiency reduces total cost of ownership.
