MISSION
We are LuxProvide, the national HPC organization in charge of the planning, installation, and long-term operation of Luxembourg’s supercomputer MeluXina.
Our mission is to offer our customers a unique platform that combines data science and supercomputing resources, enabling them to boost the Return on Investment (ROI) of their most challenging innovation projects. What we deliver is data insights for better decision-making through super-fast, ultra-powerful, secure by design, energy-efficient, and environment-friendly technologies, for both research and business purposes.
Besides this pivotal role at the national level, LuxProvide is a founding member of Luxembourg’s National Competence Centre for Supercomputing, and part of the EuroHPC network supporting the European ecosystem.
VALUES
Human Centricity
At LuxProvide, we place people at the centre of everything we do. Accordingly, we believe that the key to effective innovation is a design thinking and co-creation approach involving our customers throughout the entire development process.
STRIVING FOR A BETTER FUTURE
Supercomputing has the potential to contribute significantly to a better future and a better society by enabling researchers to solve complex problems, advance scientific research, promote sustainability, and support social responsibility.
LONG-TERM COMMITMENT
A key element of Luxembourg’s data-driven innovation strategy, LuxProvide is a 100% publicly owned company, which is a true guarantee of viability, security, resilience, and long-term vision for our clients and our partners.
TRUST
Our aim is to be a trusted partner for all of our clients. This is the reason why we operate from a Tier IV Data Center and have achieved ISO 27001 certification. Assets entrusted to us by our clients enjoy the strictest data sovereignty measures, all data being stored locally in Luxembourg.
VALUE CHAIN
SUSTAINABILITY
LuxProvide’s supercomputer MeluXina is a key element of Luxembourg’s data-driven innovation strategy, which aims to develop a sustainable and reliable digital economy.
MeluXina is installed in LuxConnect’s Data Center DC2 in Bissen (Luxembourg), which is powered by green energy and efficiently cooled by Kiowatt, a cogeneration plant fuelled by waste wood. LuxConnect is the first and one of only a tiny number of Data Center operators who offer truly carbon-neutral facilities, and it’s up at the cutting edge when it comes to sustainability and social responsibility.
With a
26.957GFlops/watt ratio,MeluXina at its launch in 2021 was
ranked 1st in the Green500 list of the
500 most energy-efficient
supercomputers in the world.
