The first indigenous server of India, Rudra has been launched by Minister of State for Electronics and IT Rajeev Chandrasekhar. It is developed by the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) under the National Supercomputing Mission (NSM).
As per the official statement, the design of the server can be used for manufacturing classical standalone commercial servers and also as building blocks for building large supercomputing systems of tens of petaflops of computing performance.
“It is poised to demonstrate India’s competency to design, develop, build and deliver as per the nation’s multi-disciplinary computing needs, and has critical strategic and national importance,” the statement said.
A wide spectrum of sectors, including high-performance computing (HPC) systems, hyperscale data centres, edge computing, banking & commerce, manufacturing, oil & gas industry and healthcare, can benefit from the indigenously-built server.
