- We have recently activated a 10,000 core compute cluster and 1.5 PB Lustre
- storage with Infiniband-only networking running Debian Squeeze and managed
- by GridEngine - on top of our existing ~5000 CPU core cluster with more than
- 2 PB Lustre storage. Apart from our compute cluster we also provide some
- hundred desktops, servers for data acquisition, central IT services and
- collaboration web services with Debian.
+ For our deployments ranging from fundamental IT services to desktops we
+ benefit a lot from the thousands of packages that we can simply pull from
+ the well-curated and high-quality Debian repositories installations.
