Computer hardware

URGI servers are dedicated to bioinformatics: data storage, databases/information systems and high-throughput computing in a secure environment.
They are hosted in the INRAE DataCenter in Ile-de-France (near Paris).


Our infrastructure mainly relies on a Proxmox Virtual Environnement / Ceph storage solution for the software part.
Here are some details about the computing ressources backing our services:

  • Proxmox Virtual Environnement / Ceph
    • Compute: proxmox logo
      • 13 compute servers in PVECluster
      • 1896 logical CPU cores
