System

Overview

“mdx II” is a system consisting of a cluster of compute nodes and storage, built on OpenStack. Each resource is provided through virtual machines, and independent environments can be created for each project. It can be used not only for supercomputer applications such as large-scale data processing and high-performance computing, but also for a wide range of flexible purposes, such as hosting data repositories and data platforms. mdx II is operated by the Data Utilization Society Creation Platform Collaborative Organization, providing services to educational and research institutions as well as private companies.
