Maribor, March 22, 2019. XENYA d.o.o. and the University of Maribor have signed a contract for the supply of equipment for the project “Upgrading national research infrastructure HPC – RIVR”, within which a national supercomputer center will be established in Maribor.
XENYA d.o.o. was selected as the most favorable supplier in the public
tender and will thus supply network equipment, disk capacity, GPU computing
nodes and servers and computing nodes. This part of the project is designed to
be a comprehensive computing center within the container, and the equipment is
selected so that it can be integrated later as part of a large computing
center. Xenya is obliged to install the equipment from this contract in the
ninety days on the site of a special computer container.
The total value of the contract is EUR 1,692,349.84, while a fully-fledged
supercomputer center will cost 20 million euros. 20% will be provided by the
ministry in charge and the 80% by the EU. The supercomputer center, which will
eventually be established in IZUM, will be the most powerful in the country and
amongst the world’s top 100.
For the experimental HPC, the Computer Center of the University of Maribor (RCUM) will take care. RCUM provides top-notch information technology services for approx. 1700 employees, hundreds of external co-workers and more than 20,000 students. RCUM is one of the leading institutions in the field of identity management and access.
The applicant and coordinator of the project “Upgrading National Research Infrastructures HPC – RIVR” is the University of Maribor with two consortium partners – the IZUM Institute of Information Science and the Faculty of Information Studies in Novo mesto. The entire project is worth EUR 20 million, and it runs from March 1, 2018 to September 15, 2020. It is a significant upgrade of existing state-of-the-art HPC capabilities with its own hardware and software architecture design. The project is financed by the European Union from the European Regional Development Fund (80%) and the Ministry of Education, Science and Sport (20%), under the Operational Program for the Implementation of the European Cohesion Policy 2014-2020. The implementation of the project will significantly contribute to the fulfillment of the objectives of the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking Declaration.
The acquisition will ensure the establishment of an openly accessible research infrastructure and environment, and promote research activities and their transfer to the economy. The results of the cooperation will be widely and non-discriminative disseminated on the basis of Open Research Data.

SAN JOSE, Calif., December 11, 2018 — Super Micro Computer, Inc. (SMCI), announced in a letter Tuesday that a third-party investigations firm “after thorough examination and a range of functional tests” didn’t find malicious hardware on its equipment. The whole letter can be read here and a short video that highlights Super Micro’s quality assurance process and supply chain security can be seen here.
SAN JOSE, Calif., October 4, 2018 — Super Micro Computer, Inc. (SMCI), a global leader in enterprise computing, storage, networking solutions and green computing technology, strongly refutes reports that servers it sold to customers contained malicious microchips in the motherboards of those systems.
In an article today, it is alleged that Supermicro motherboards sold to certain customers contained malicious chips on its motherboards in 2015. Supermicro has never found any malicious chips, nor been informed by any customer that such chips have been found.
Each company mentioned in the article (Supermicro, Apple, Amazon and Elemental) has issued strong statements denying the claims.
Supermicro has never been contacted by any government agencies either domestic or foreign regarding the alleged claims.
Supermicro takes all security claims very seriously and makes continuous investments in the security capabilities of their products. The manufacture of motherboards in China is not unique to Supermicro and is a standard industry practice. Nearly all systems providers use the same contract manufacturers. Supermicro qualifies and certifies every contract manufacturer and routinely inspects their facilities and processes closely.
January 25, 2017. Infortrend announced that its storage systems now provide flexible super-speed host interface support for 56 Gb/s InfiniBand, 40 Gb/s iSCSI, and 4 x 16 Gb/s Fibre Channel ports to deliver optimum bandwidth and throughput for resource intensive and mission critical applications such as high-performance computing, media editing, and big data analytics.
Infortrend announced its premium flagship EonStor GS 4000 series. Designed with boosted performance and increased front-end connectivity, it surpasses all previous generation products, providing users with unprecedented advantages in performance and flexibility.
The EonStor GS 4000 is a unified storage system with complete native cloud gateway features.

Handling ever-increasing data growth in day-to-day operations with limited data center space is a key challenge for enterprises. With the announcement that EonStor DS family supports HGST’s enterprise-class 8TB hard disk drives (HDD), it enables Infortrend users to dramatically increase their storage capacity while ensuring ease of management for their growing data in a more efficiency way.
For example, With Infortrend’s EonStor DS system and HGST’s 8TB HDD, the maximum capacity of a single EonStor DS system can reach 3.4 petabytes (PB), which is ideal for companies looking to maximize their data storage capacity.
