This image shows Punch Torino's Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) high-performance computing environment connected to their on-premises data center.

The on-premises data center includes the Punch Torino network which includes an Access and Control Node server, and servers for Active Directory Network Licenses and Network Licenses. Customer premises equipment connects to OCI by using a site-to-site virtual private network (VPN) and a dynamic routing gateway (DRG).

The OCI region includes 2 availability domains, and a virtual cloud network (VCN) . The region provides identity and access management and audit services and the following connected storage options:
  • Block storage ("hot" storage in availability domain 2)
  • File storage ("warm" storage in availability domain 1)
  • Object storage ("cold" storage for the entire region)

The virtual cloud network (VCN) includes a dynamic routing gateway for communication with external users over a virtual private network (VPN), It includes 1 subnet with a security list and a route table. The subnet includes a high-performance computing (HPC) cluster in availability domain 1 that uses bare metal compute nodes with the BM.HPC2.36 shape in a 100 Gbps RoCE v2 isolated network. The cluster includes NVMe SSD ("hot") storage. This storage connects to file ("warm") storage in the same availability domain.

The subnet also includes visual node virtual machines (VM) with the VM.GPU2.1 shape in availability domain 2. The visual nodes connect to block ("hot") storage in the same availability domain.
