CCR is providing city residents with a multi-faceted, interactive, real-time visualization of what activity on Main Street in downtown Buffalo would be like if vehicular traffic were to return after an absence of more than 20 years. Urban visualization and simulation specialists Martins Innus, Adam Koniak and Adrian Levesque developed the simulation and recently demonstrated the “Cars Sharing Main Street” visualization for the public at an open house in the Market Arcade Film and Arts Center.

CCR will take delivery shortly of a 3TF Dell cluster consisting of 256 Dell Xeon 1425 servers and a 35TB EMC SAN, including four CLARiiON CX700s and two NS704G Data Movers. We anticipate having these systems in production by the middle of the summer. In addition, along with this acquisition, CCR will be decomissioning the following systems in preparation for its move from Norton Hall to 701 Ellicott Street: the 2000 server Pentium III Dell Bioinformatics cluster, the IBM Bioinformatics BladeCenter, the Dell Bioinformatics Blade System, the 3TF Dell Pentium 4 cluster (Joplin), and the HP SAN. This purchase will help dramatically with our move into the Center of Excellence in terms of updating our computing systems, as well as reducing space, electrical consumption, and cooling.
