MIRAIT ONE Corporation (head office: Koto-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Toshiki Nakayama; "MIRAIT ONE"), Morgenrot Inc. (head office: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and CEO: Hirotaka Inoue; "Morgenrot") and WOODMAN INC. (head office: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Shinjiro Ono; "WOODMAN") have established a M:MDC (Morgenrot Mobile Data Center) GPU-based industrial container-type data center solution, in the MIRAIT ONE Ikebukuro Technology Center, and commenced service on December 1.

Computer graphics (CG) rendering that is used not only in photorealistic CG production along with automobile development and urban development widely using complex simulations, but also in research institutes in a variety of areas, performs computation (rendering) of large volumes of data in terabyte units on a day-to-day basis. However, in addition to hardware for high-speed computation being expensive, operation costs arise when transferring large volumes of data, and a solution resolving these issues has been required.

"M:MDC" reduces data transfer costs through installation in proximity to the user, and does not require up-front investment in hardware by the user due to providing computing power in the cloud. For this reason, it is possible to easily provide high-speed computing power at far lower cost as the stage before use of a large-scale data center or a supercomputer. MIRAIT ONE is responsible for design, construction, operation and maintenance of container servers. In addition, Morgenrot developed the middleware and various software required for cloud-based high-speed distributed computing. Also, WOODMAN is responsible for procurement of server hardware based on high-performance semiconductors and the provision of technical support for design.

The first "M:MDC" container that was installed in the MIRAIT ONE Ikebukuro Technology Center and began operation will not only provide computing power to users, but also be open for various technical verifications and tours for those who are interested.
