Description: | Microserver event ASTRON, IBM and three members of the Dome Users Platform are proud to host a Dome Premiere at ASTRON's Van de Hulst auditorium. Dome is the research project in which ASTRON and IBM have joined forces to create new technology for handling the huge amounts of data that will be generated by the Square Kilometre Array (SKA). After about two years of hard work, we are happy to share a memorable moment with you, introducing our newly developed, high-performance microserver. Innovative microserver: small, powerful, and energy-efficient The microserver we are showing today is a small, low-cost, low-power device, working like a full-fledged server. This technology will play an essential role in future datacenters and many other applications. This microserver redefines the term 'high-density': a 64-bit server CPU placed on a 133 x 55 mm board. It is not only very compact, it is also very energy-efficient. One of its innovations is optional hot-water cooling, which also supplies electrical power.
