DTU Supercharges Life Science Research with VMware Cloud Technology
1 The Technical University of Denmark—DTU—is home to Computerome, the Danish national life science supercomputing center. One of the largest high performance computers in Scandinavia, Computerome supports collaboration between researchers, healthcare professionals and industry, and can process sensitive data in a highly secure environment. To create a more powerful, flexible system, DTU engaged VMware Professional Services to engineer the HPC as a virtual private cloud hosting smaller clouds in a secure, segmented network. Computerome allows researchers to analyze huge volumes of data to render medical treatments for cancer and other diseases more effective. A supercomputer for life science research Computerome consists of 50,000 CPU cores, 20 petabytes of storage and 220 t
