The OCtoPus was created in 2017 while we were trying to improve the efficiency of a standard cluster. In addition to all the developments around the servers, we rethought the implementation of fans and power supply at the rack level.
We chose to aggregate all the fans at the rear of the rack, to add smart control of the fans speed and to monitor the power distribution. These developments enable reduced the power consumption by 23%.
