Clustering Helps German Aerospace Center in the Fight Against Climate Change

Overview The German Aerospace Center, Deutsche Zentrum fur Luft-und Raumfahrt (DLR), is a research center focused on aeronautics and space exploration that also functions as the German space agency. The SCIAMACHY instrument gathers enormous amounts of data on atmospheric conditions for processing. The data is broken down into smaller, independent pieces to be analyzed and the results are then combined and sent to other divisions of DLR for further analysis. 1.7 GB of data must be analyzed on a daily basis. As a solution DLR decided to build its cluster with servers from Dell, system design and installation from Unisys and cluster management software from Scali.
