HIVE centralized workstation

The HIVE is a high-end centralized workstation for image-processingHigh-Performance Computing (HPC) / GPU-computing (ex : Deep Learning) and big data-storage.

Computational power and secure storage

It features powerful computational resources (multi-core CPU, large RAM, one or more GPUs) with large and secure data-storage (RAID), optimal for demanding applications and multi-user settings (imaging-platforms, microscopy and life-science labs…).

No need to copy/move files around, your data is always available from any laptop/pc in-house or distantly via secured remote-desktop connection.

Users and administrator-friendly

The HIVE is powered by a familiar Windows operating system, with a dedicated ACQUIFER Dashboard for administrators.

Sustainable and silent

Designed for 24/7 operation, with built-in uninterruptible power supply and silent cooling. The HIVE fits in any lab or office space.

A modular system for maximum flexibility

6 available modules:

  • CORE for Processing
  • NET for Communication
  • DATA for Storage
  • GPU for AI/DL
  • SAT for Compute
  • BACKUP for Safety

HIVE MODULE CONFIGURATION

The HIVE is a modular platform optimized for image processing and data handling. For each facility we combine the corresponding HIVE modules for optimal data processing efficiency. If you require more storage, processing power, dedicated network bandwidth or a custom solution, we can simply add more modules at any time.

HIGH SPEED MICROSCOPE EXAMPLE

  • Lightsheet microscope
  • Large format sCMOS
  • Laser scanning
  • confocal, Spinning disk, Screening microscope
  • 3 HIVE modules recommended

SMALL CORE FACILITY EXAMPLE

  • 1 to 2 rooms
  • up to 5 microscopes
  • replaces 3 image analysis workstations
  • 3 HIVE modules recommended

MEDIUM CORE FACILITY EXAMPLE

  • 3 to 4 rooms
  • 5 to 10 microscopes
  • replaces 5 image analysis workstations
  • 4-5 HIVE modules recommended (depending on microscopes)

LARGE CORE FACILITY EXAMPLE

HIVE WITH BACKUP

  • a distant installed HIVE or
  • to the local Central Data Repository.
