The University of Otago
Massive computer power to render images in the shortest time possible.

About Our Customer
The University of Otago, founded in 1869 by an ordinance of the Otago Provincial Council, is New Zealand’s oldest University. The new University was given 100,000 acres of pastoral land as an endowment and authorised to grant degrees in Arts, Medicine, Law and Music. Since 1961, when its roll was about 3,000, the University has since expanded considerably (in 2010 there was about 21,000 students enrolled) and has broadened its range of qualifications to include undergraduate programmes. These programmes include Surveying, Pharmacy, Medical Laboratory Science, Education, Physiotherapy, Applied Science, Dental Technology, Medical Radiation Therapy, Dental Hygiene and Dental Therapy (now combined in an Oral Health programme), and Biomedical Sciences, as well as specialised postgraduate programmes in a variety of disciplines.
Highlights
Key Benefits
Challenges
After investigation of the Universities requirements, it was clear a significant number of systems would be required to run software for bio imaging projects. These datasets consist of huge amounts of data that require massive computer power to render these images in the shortest time possible.
How We Helped
Originally DiGiCOR discovered the need after we had quoted for a server, however when we re-quoted for this part we realized that the University will need additional equipment to meet performance requirements, so high density and less footprint were added to the solution. Digicor initially quoted both FatTwin and Blade system. We helped the customer to analyse the pros and cons over each one, and the Blade system stands out due its high speed network (40Gb InfiniBand) integration and better expandability over FatTwin and other high density solutions.
