mobull

Plug and boot data center

mobull features an innovative combination of containers and fully dedicated mobility technologies to provide the enterprise with as much power as it needs to innovate, to be more competitive and reduce costs –all in less than eight weeks. With its combined advantages of high density, low energy consumption and ease of installation, mobull makes it possible for the enterprise to fast-track the implementation of the best solutions available for computer simulation, for data processing and for storage.

mobull

The design of mobull solutions is inspired by the following principles:

  • Extreme power and density, with up to 227 Teraflops per container
  • Lowest possible start-up investment
  • Low consumption of resources
  • Rapid and straightforward implementation
  • Very flexible installation and evolution

Extreme power and density

The technologies mobull uses make it possible to achieve very high power density, with more than 227 Tflops in an area of just above 30m². A single container can accommodate up to fifteen 19-inch racks, arranged in five series of three racks:

  • Spatial arrangement provides access to six maintenance corridors accessible via doors to the exterior
  • Up to 1,620 servers, or 19,440 cores per container
  • Up to 40kW power per rack
  • Autonomous cooling system based on water-cooled doors, designed by Bull

Lower investment costs

mobull containers have minimal infrastructure requirements. Whether you are equipping a new data center, or extending the power of an existing facility, using mobull containers overcomes the need for major investments in buildings or to conform to a host of regulatory constraints.

Low power consumption

The technologies Bull has developed offer significant advantages in terms of reduced consumption of resources, whether in terms of floor-space (thanks to its high density), electricity consumption or power used for cooling (thanks in particular to its innovative cooling system, independant of the server or storage technologies used.

Rapid implementation

mobull containers are delivered ready-to-use in about eight weeks. Requiring very little infrastructure – a simple power supply and some space on a car-park are all that are needed – they are up and running extremely rapidly.

Flexibility and mobility

Thermally insulated, air- and water-tight and robust, mobull containers can be installed inside or outside the company premises, and can even be located in extreme conditions, for example on an offshore platform. mobull can bought outright or leased, and can be configured to host new or existing systems:

  • Because it can easily be moved around, mobull offers a unique kind of mobility, so it can be positioned to take advantage of a zone where energy costs are at a premium, or in new areas of business for your organization
  • Using mobull overcomes the need for significant investments in refurbishing existing premises, or in constructing new machine rooms
  • Whether your organization buys or rents mobull, the number of containers can be easily tailored to correspond best to o your needs, in the wake of an incident, a sudden increase in system load or a one-off peak in business activity
  • Based on standard set-ups, the way your mobull is configured is totally customizable
  • An appropriate level of support is provided, in line with your business need, for hardware from Bull and other suppliers
