OCF deploys first IBM POWER9 systems in UK Academia

Queen Mary University of London and Newcastle University are the first UK academic institutions to install POWER9 systems. Deployed by OCF, both Universities have already integrated the machines into their existing HPC infrastructures. "Modern AI, HPC and Analytics workloads are driving an ever-growing set of data intensive challenges," comments Julian Fielden, Managing Director of OCF. "These challenges can only be met with accelerated infrastructure, such as IBM's POWER9. In such a highly competitive field as academic research, providing superior HPC services to compute large quantities of data quickly, can help to attract world-class researchers, as well as grants and funding."
