Fujitsu Limited recently announced that it has won an order from the Kamioka Observatory of the Institute for Cosmic Ray Research (ICRR) at the University of Tokyo to supply a new data analysis system that analyzes the structure of outer space by utilizing a cosmic-particle observation detector known as Super-Kamiokande. 

 

The new system will accumulate and analyze data regarding neutrinos, based on neutrino observation data from Super-Kamiokande. The IT infrastructure consists mainly of the following: a performance computing cluster consisting of 270x PRIMERGY® BX620 S3 blade servers (540 processors, 1080 cores), three PRIMEQUEST™ 520 mission-critical IA servers, an ETERNUS™ storage system, and Parallelnavi SRFS for Linux version 1.0.
