Besucherführung im HPC-Rechenzentrum der Universität Paderborn

Große Rechenzentren sind aus unserem Alltag oft nicht mehr wegzudenken. Daten für Videokonferenzen, Livestreaming und Video-on-demand werden zum Beispiel Tag für Tag in riesigen Mengen verarbeitet und schnellstmöglich an Endgeräte übertragen. Unternehmen speichern und verarbeiten viele Daten, um uns unsere liebsten Services direkt auf Smartphone & Co. anbieten zu können. Auch die Forschung kann durch spezialisierte Rechenleistung unterstützt…
