Apollo

A single distributed infrastructure

Apollo is ICAR’s distributed computing system. It integrates hardware resources, software and expertise available at the Naples, Rende and Palermo sites, making them available as components of a single scalable, multiservice infrastructure.

The resources developed through the FOSSR, H2IOSC and SoBigData projects retain their specific technological and operational characteristics while contributing to the development of shared services for high-performance computing, artificial intelligence, data management and research environments.

Distributed infrastructure and data centre facilities

A new Tier-2 data centre facility has been established at the Naples site. It features hot-aisle and cold-aisle containment to improve the thermal management of the systems. The facility also includes a new fire suppression system, electrical continuity systems and dedicated security mechanisms.

The Rende and Palermo sites also implement solutions for security, thermal management and energy efficiency, tailored to the characteristics of their respective infrastructures.
