OCTAGON PRIME is purpose-built for modern scientific environments, providing a turnkey HPC and AI platform that minimizes staff workload while accelerating discovery. Unlike generic HPC clusters, PRIME integrates advanced data processing pipelines, high-bandwidth networking, and centralized, ultra-low-latency storage into a cohesive system designed for microscopy, imaging-cytometry, and multi-omics workflows.
Acting as a customizable local cloud, OCTAGON PRIME seamlessly connects to existing research instruments and software, eliminating integration delays while maintaining strict data sovereignty. Its modular architecture supports both real-time analysis and high-throughput batch processing, ensuring smooth scaling as research demands grow.
With PRIME Control, researchers and lab directors gain a user-friendly orchestration layer for managing users, projects, and compute allocation with built-in load balancing. This reduces dependence on IT specialists and maximizes system utilization—turning complex HPC infrastructure into an accessible, secure, and productivity-enhancing research tool.

PRIME NODE – Networking & Resilience
PRIME NODE is the dedicated networking backbone of OCTAGON PRIME, engineered to connect and coordinate up to 21 research devices in parallel. Its integrated DHCP-managed router creates an isolated high-performance subnetwork tailored for scientific data flows, secured with a built-in firewall to prevent unauthorized access. To safeguard against interruptions, PRIME NODE includes an enterprise-grade Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) that ensures continuous operation of the entire OCTAGON PRIME environment, even during power fluctuations or outages.
PRIME CENTER – Compute & Orchestration
PRIME CENTER is the central computing hub where large-scale data analysis and AI-driven workflows are executed. Out of the box, PRIME CENTER ships with Microsoft Windows Server 2025 Standard, enabling multiple users to run demanding imaging and bioinformatics pipelines simultaneously via remote desktop. With robust multi-threaded scheduling and load balancing, PRIME CENTER transforms complex HPC into a shared, lab-friendly resource optimized for parallel research activity.
PRIME DISK – Scalable Data Backbone
PRIME DISK modules provide secure, high-throughput storage engineered for scientific workloads. Optimized for both rapid data ingestion and high-speed retrieval, PRIME DISK ensures smooth performance in microscopy, sequencing, and imaging-cytometry pipelines. Plug-and-play expansion allows multiple modules to be daisy-chained into a unified storage fabric, scaling seamlessly to multi-petabyte capacity (up to 2 PB) while maintaining industrial server-grade reliability.
PRIME AI – Accelerated Analysis & Deep Learning
PRIME AI extends PRIME CENTER with dedicated GPU acceleration for advanced image analysis, modeling, and AI applications. Each PRIME AI chassis can host up to 8 dual-slot or 16 single-slot CUDA-capable GPUs, delivering massive parallel processing power for deep learning pipelines, segmentation tasks, and high-throughput pattern recognition. Combined with PRIME DISK storage and PRIME NODE networking, PRIME AI transforms OCTAGON PRIME into a fully integrated HPC-AI platform purpose-built for scientific discovery.
