Director Bernard Lonis Meets with ITER and Atos
Subsequent to meetings between CEO, Steve Marshall, and Atos in November 2017, company director Bernard Lonis has met again with ITER (Technological and Scientific Institute of Spain) and Atos on April 24th, 2018, concerning the proposed lease of the; installations, data center and Teide Supercomputer, located in the canary Islands Spain. The Teide-HPC supercomputer is solar powered and, is one of the 500 most powerful super computers in the world. Inaugurated in 2013 by the late Stephen Hawking, it was primarily used to map the universe by Iter. Teide-HPC will be replaced by a superior version shortly. The computer has 16,384 processing cores, 33,664 GB virtual memory, uses 312.00 kW of pure solar energy (at its location, close to the equator, 200 miles off the coast of Morocco, rainfall is around 4 days annually) and, has a max data rate/capacity of 340.787 TFlop/s. The company continues to investigate this low-cost centralized data center for it's over 1200 proprietary and third party websites, CCU Coin and, blockchain infrastructure. While domiciling all of the company's technology in one location, the data center would also be used to generate ancillary revenue from crypto mining. The recent rise in crypto currency prices renders this project viable again.
