What is AIDC?

ASUS Infrastructure Deployment Center (AIDC) is a comprehensive solution designed to not only simplify the deployment and configuration of data center infrastructure but also to provide essential tools for building and managing high-performance computing clusters. By automating key tasks and centralizing configuration management, AIDC ensures that the infrastructure is consistently optimized for performance, scalability, and long-term operational success.

 

Key AIDC Features

 

Rapid Deployment and Readiness: IT teams can quickly deploy operating systems and system environments, ensuring the infrastructure is ready for large-scale operations with minimal setup time, enabling faster time-to-productivity.

 

Cluster Topology Verification: Automatically verifies network topology and port mapping, ensuring that configurations are correct and aligned, reducing the risk of misconfigurations and ensuring smooth connectivity.

 

Centralized Configuration Management: Centralizes the automation of BIOS and BMC firmware updates and configures Ethernet and InfiniBand network bonding, ensuring consistency across all systems.

 

Automated Processes: Automates driver installations and firmware updates across systems, streamlining the deployment process and ensuring that each system is optimized and up to date without manual intervention.

 

HPC Cluster Deployment: Simplifies the deployment of essential HPC services like Slurm resource management, log management, and system monitoring, integrating them into the system to ensure efficient cluster operations and performance.
