Nov. 2005 -- HP announced it will provide a next-generation data center to the prestigious Kurchatov Institute to conduct research into future utility computing systems.
The data center consists of HP ProLiant blade and storage servers, HP Procurve Networking Switches and associated software.
“Data centers of the future will require services that can operate in an environment that is quite different than that which exists today,” said Dick Lampman, HP senior vice president, research, and director, HP Labs. “Today's services typically run on dedicated servers. With this facility, Kurchatov Institute researchers will be able to explore building services capable of running where and when needed, in a virtualized, utility infrastructure. This type of architecture could provide greater agility and better resource utilization for data center users.”
The Kurchatov Institute, established in 1943, conducts fundamental and applied research into the development of nuclear power, thermonuclear fusion and plasma processes, nuclear physics, and solid state physics and superconductivity.
