Large computing systems, like Sandia National Laboratories’ Red Storm, are not deployed in isolation. The computer, its infrastructure support, and the operations of both have to be designed to support the mission of the organization. This talk and paper will describe the infrastructure and operational requirements of Red Storm along with a discussion of how Sandia is meeting those requirements. It will include discussions of the facilities that surround and support Red Storm: shelter, power, cooling, security, networking, interactions with other Sandia platforms and capabilities, operations support, and user services.
