Portus Data Centers, a rapidly growing provider of carrier-neutral colocation solutions in regional markets, has announced RSS Hydro is using its Luxembourg facility for the deployment and ongoing development of FloodSENS, an AI-based flood risk modelling system.
Portus Data Centers Luxembourg is providing RSS Hydro with a secure, resilient and conveniently located data centre solution with access to further space and power as and when required. These factors, along with a responsive and experienced on-site team enable a reliable, flexible and future-proofed colocation platform for supporting the company’s growing HPC-AI requirements.
The move to Portus Data Centers was seen as necessary by RSS Hydro for supporting its state-of-the-art High Performance Computing (HPC) infrastructure, future business expansion and a growing technology collaboration with NVIDIA and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). The aim is to further mitigate growing flood risks to energy infrastructure by using advanced AI-driven flood modelling and 3D visualisation.
FloodSENS uses NVIDIA’s accelerated GPU computing platform delivered on OCI for enabling training and inference and a seamless connection with NVIDIA Omniverse for visualisation of real-time flood simulations. OCI provides a broad set of deployment options for AI and Machine Learning applications to maintain control over data and enables adherence with local laws and regulations.
