High-Performance Infrastructure for Higher Education & Research

ResearchCore is a pre-sized, research-optimized infrastructure kit that gives universities and research institutions the freedom to modernize IT.

It combines HPC file systems, scalable object storage, block virtualization, and container-native platforms into a modular platform for university research infrastructure. Designed for performance, protection, and flexibility, it supports everything from AI/ML data management to long-term academic data archives.

The Challenge Institutions Face

Academic environments generate and store massive amounts of data — from high-resolution imaging and simulations to AI/ML training files and media production. Traditional storage can’t keep up with the performance, scalability, and governance requirements of modern research. Universities need more than siloed solutions. They need scalable research IT that can evolve with changing demands, multi-campus research infrastructure, and diverse workloads — without adding complexity or unnecessary cost.
