关于客户
美国国家超级计算应用中心 (NCSA) 位于伊利诺伊大学香槟分校，提供世界一流的计算、数据、网络和可视化资源和服务，以满足科学需求。NCSA 成立于 1986 年，是美国国家科学基金会超级计算机中心计划的原始站点之一，由伊利诺伊州、伊利诺伊大学、美国国家科学基金会和其他联邦机构资助。NCSA 在帮助促进高性能计算资源共享方面发挥着重要作用，因为它对于整个伊利诺伊校园的许多学科的研究至关重要，包括天文学、物理学、化学、工程学等。
挑战
美国国家超级计算应用中心 (NCSA) 面临着中端研究资金不断减少的问题，这推动了对单一共享环境中公寓式校园集群的需求。这非常复杂，因为它涉及在一个统一系统中容纳多代硬件、互连技术和存储。确保平等访问所有类型和任何数量的节点非常复杂，包括确定如何处理排队和配置。该中心寻求在包括多代硬件资源的环境中融合 IOPS、带宽、性能和高效的容量管理。
解决方案
NCSA 部署了 DDN 的高性能存储解决方案，包括其最先进的平台，该平台采用其 Storage Fusion Architecture® 引擎来支持伊利诺伊校园集群计划。DDN 的 SFA10K 和 SFA12K InfiniBand 存储设备具有近 1PB 的存储容量，用于支持校园集群中所有节点的单一存储池。之所以选择此解决方案，是因为它可以解决与实施单一计算和存储环境相关的独特技术和业务挑战。它提供了与多代硬件配合使用的灵活性，并满足各种配置要求。

Revolutionizing Medical Training in India: GSL Smart Lab and the LAP Mentor
The GSL SMART Lab, a collective effort of the GSL College of Medicine and the GSL College of Nursing and Health Science, was facing a challenge in providing superior training to healthcare professionals. As clinical medicine was becoming more focused on patient safety and quality of care, the need for medical simulation to bridge the educational gap between the classroom and the clinical environment was becoming increasingly apparent. Dr. Sandeep Ganni, the director of the GSL SMART Lab, envisioned a world-class surgical and medical training center where physicians and healthcare professionals could learn skills through simulation training. He was looking for different simulators for different specialties to provide both basic and advanced simulation training. For laparoscopic surgery, he was interested in a high fidelity simulator that could provide basic surgical and suturing skills training for international accreditation as well as specific hands-on training in complex laparoscopic procedures for practicing physicians in India.

IoT platform Enables Safety Solutions for U.S. School Districts
Designed to alert drivers when schoolchildren are present, especially in low-visibility conditions, school-zone flasher signals are typically updated manually at each school. The switching is based on the school calendar and manually changed when an unexpected early dismissal occurs, as in the case of a weather-event altering the normal schedule. The process to reprogram the flashers requires a significant effort by school district personnel to implement due to the large number of warning flashers installed across an entire school district.

Implementing Robotic Surgery Training Simulator for Enhanced Surgical Proficiency
Fundacio Puigvert, a leading European medical center specializing in Urology, Nephrology, and Andrology, faced a significant challenge in training its surgical residents. The institution recognized the need for a more standardized and comprehensive training curriculum, particularly in the area of robotic surgery. The challenge was underscored by two independent studies showing that less than 5% of residents in Italian and German residency programs could perform major or complex procedures by the end of their residency. The institution sought to establish a virtual reality simulation lab that would include endourological, laparoscopic, and robotic platforms. However, they needed a simulator that could replicate both the hardware and software of the robotic Da Vinci console used in the operating room, without being connected to the actual physical console. They also required a system that could provide both basic and advanced simulation training, and a metrics system to assess the proficiency of the trainees before they performed surgical procedures in the operating theater.

Edinburgh Napier University streamlines long-distance learning with Cisco WebEX
• Geographically dispersed campus made in-person meetings costly and inconvenient.• Distance-learning programs in Malaysia, India, and China required dependable, user-friendly online tools to maximize interaction in collaborative workspaces.• Virtual learning environment required a separate sign-in process, resulting in a significant administrative burden for IT staff and limited adoption of collaboration technology.

8x increased productivity with VKS
Before VKS, a teacher would spend a lot of time showing a group of 22 students how to build a set of stairs within a semester of 120 hours. Along with not leaving the teacher much time to provide one-on-one support for each student to properly learn carpentry, it also left a considerable amount of room for error. Key information would be misinterpreted or lost as the class was taught in the typical show-and-tell way.

Scalable IoT Empowering GreenFlex's Sustainable Growth
GreenFlex, a company that supports sustainable development, decarbonization, and energy efficiency, faced several challenges in its quest to expand its business. The company needed to deploy a robust and sustainable IoT technology to support its growth. It was crucial for them to monitor and control devices at customer sites in a safe and reliable manner. They also needed to integrate devices across a range of communication protocols and gather and act on data to meet efficiency targets. GreenFlex had previously built IoT capabilities into its digital platform, GreenFlexIQ, to monitor and manage customer sites remotely. However, they soon realized that they needed a new platform to support their ambitions. They needed a platform that could scale to connect more devices for production management and make it easier for the operations team to manage devices in the field.
