Case Study: Elite Research University achieves 33% cost reduction and faster research collaboration with CoreSite

Elite Research University - Customer Case Study

An elite East Coast research university grappled with soaring compute, cooling and real estate costs as its data‑intensive programs expanded — including a 700 kW, 4‑petaflop supercomputer that generated enormous heat and strained inefficient on‑campus cooling and carrier networks, limiting researchers’ ability to move and share large datasets.

By relocating core infrastructure to CoreSite colocation and using energy‑efficient liquid cooling, high‑density racks and private cloud interconnects (including a direct connection to Google Cloud), the university cut cooling costs by about 33%, eliminated up to 95% of the supercomputer’s heat, reduced real estate expenses, gained on‑demand storage and compute capacity, and significantly accelerated data transfer and collaboration.
