LAB-0166 Server for data management and backup
- 2 Servers (one HP and the other Supermicro) manage a disk space of 36 TB, in RAID 6, with monthly backup. They are flanked by a computing cluster equipped with 14 nodes for a total of 92 cores. 1Gb / s network connection with acquisition systems
Available measurements
APPLICATIONS AND SERVICES
- 3D Reconstruction of motions through the use of tracers both solid (particles) and liquids (inks)
- Simulation of the behavior of geophysical fluids in different experimental conditions with accurate determination of velocity and vorticity vector fields
Price list
Rates are defined according to specific requests.
Possibility of on-site measurements
It is possible to access the infrastructure by reservation, accompanied by authorized staff, and / or send samples for analysis (without directly accessing the structure). The technical feasibility of the request is evaluated and the experiments.
