We could not adopt a generic infrastructure, but instead modeled the system around the specific requirements of ASTRI\u2019s control software,\u00bb says Gianotti.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"460\" data-end=\"1040\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">In addition to technological challenges, there were also environmental ones. The Observatory is located in the <strong>Teide National Park<\/strong>, a protected area of great natural value. For this reason, the infrastructure was designed to be as non-invasive as possible and placed, with the support of the <strong>IAC<\/strong> (<strong>Instituto<\/strong> <strong>de Astrof\u00edsica de Canarias<\/strong> \u2013 responsible for the Teide Observatory site) and the <strong>FGG<\/strong> (<strong>Fundaci\u00f3n Galileo Galilei<\/strong> \u2013 which supports INAF in managing and installing instruments in the Canary Islands), in a small room of the guesthouse, optimized to minimize energy consumption.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"275\">Gianotti adds: \u00abAnother important aspect was the creation in 2022 of an <strong>intermediate IT infrastructure<\/strong>, the so-called <strong>mini-ICT<\/strong>, which allowed us to manage the early phases of the project when the full ICT was not yet available,\u00bb <a href=\"https:\/\/www.astri.inaf.it\/index.php\/astri-mini-array-is-now-connected-to-the-world\/2022\/?lang=en\">as we had described in this article<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"277\" data-end=\"1271\">The key element that made the achievement possible is <strong>virtualization<\/strong>. Thanks to the use of cutting-edge IT technologies, ranging from well-known virtual machines to software containers (a kind of \u201cbox\u201d or self-standing software unit containing everything needed to run a specific application), it was possible to reduce the number of physical computers and utilize resources efficiently, without compromising system performance, reliability, or availability. The result is an average consumption of just 12 kWh, slightly more than the energy needed to heat an apartment. To achieve this, the team leveraged experience gained from previous space projects carried out by INAF in collaboration with the <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Agenzia Spaziale Italiana<\/span> (ASI), such as the AGILE gamma-ray satellite. The project was implemented with the collaboration of the company E4, which, under INAF supervision, developed high-performance computing solutions to meet ASTRI\u2019s requirements and ensure system reliability, continuity, and sustainability.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1273\" data-end=\"1593\">Collaboration was crucial for translating scientific requirements into a robust and efficient infrastructure. According to Gianotti, \u00abWe found in E4 an industrial partner with the skills and experience needed to face such a complex challenge. The project was carried out professionally and fully met all requirements.\u00bb<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1595\" data-end=\"1767\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">ASTRI\u2019s experience has also been highlighted by E4 as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.e4company.com\/en\/case-studies-hpc\/project-astri-inaf\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">success story on its website<\/a>, where a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=lTh2nV6lBtU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">video retraces the key moments of the ICT infrastructure installation on site<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-mfmfdsb7-f614fb00706b2efa12703721dcd40605 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h3>A model for the future<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-mfmfe2me-eb9566175efa9d4b3eebb0e7511baf92 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><article class=\"text-token-text-primary w-full focus:outline-none scroll-mt-[calc(var(--header-height)+min(200px,max(70px,20svh)))]\" dir=\"auto\" tabindex=\"-1\" data-turn-id=\"request-68c9614c-6eb4-8333-83a2-0dda3fbf2122-16\" data-testid=\"conversation-turn-22\" data-scroll-anchor=\"true\" data-turn=\"assistant\">\n<div class=\"text-base my-auto mx-auto pb-10 [--thread-content-margin:--spacing(4)] thread-sm:[--thread-content-margin:--spacing(6)] thread-lg:[--thread-content-margin:--spacing(16)] px-(--thread-content-margin)\">\n<div class=\"[--thread-content-max-width:40rem] thread-lg:[--thread-content-max-width:48rem] mx-auto max-w-(--thread-content-max-width) flex-1 group\/turn-messages focus-visible:outline-hidden relative flex w-full min-w-0 flex-col agent-turn\" tabindex=\"-1\">\n<div class=\"flex max-w-full flex-col grow\">\n<div class=\"min-h-8 text-message relative flex w-full flex-col items-end gap-2 text-start break-words whitespace-normal [.text-message+&#038;]:mt-5\" dir=\"auto\" data-message-author-role=\"assistant\" data-message-id=\"2bc7c2de-3707-49c2-b55e-32024081e209\" data-message-model-slug=\"gpt-5-mini\">\n<div class=\"flex w-full flex-col gap-1 empty:hidden first:pt-[3px]\">\n<div class=\"markdown prose dark:prose-invert w-full break-words dark markdown-new-styling\">\n<p data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"594\">The course of action taken in the ASTRI project has already yielded significant results and strengthened expertise that extends beyond the project itself.
