With thousands of scientists and researchers spread around the country, the CSIRO found itself faced with the challenge of consolidating its research platform onto a secure, centralised computing facility that could be easily accessed without limitation. With space limitations and operational costs a consideration, the CSIRO followed Dell's advice to build a High Performance Computing Cluster (HPCC) built on industry standard, rack dense 'blade' servers. The HPCC was built using 66 Dell PowerEdge 1655 blade servers along with 3 PowerEdge 2650 dual processor servers, all running SuSe Linux, installed in a single 19" rack.
