When you launch the application, you’ll see the Tygron Client running on your laptop. However, behind this local interface lies a sophisticated ISO 27001 certified cloud computing infrastructure known as the Tygron Engine, hosted and developed in The Netherlands.
Hosted & Developed in The Netherlands
- Situated in a state-of-the-art Tier 3 data center in the Netherlands, featuring redundant network connections and power supplies.
- Operates on bare-metal servers and network infrastructure fully owned by Tygron B.V.[1].
- The software stack is built on Linux[2], offering a secure and vendor independent foundation.
- On top of this, the Tygron Engine runs, utilizing open-source libraries alongside proprietary components developed by Tygron.
Architecture
- Project Servers: These serve as your secure gateway to the cloud, storing your project data and receiving commands through the public REST API.
- GPU Clusters: These GPU machines are heavily optimized for computational tasks. When a project server has a compute job, it is automatically dispatched to the most suitable GPU cluster.
- Scheduler: To reduce transfer times, a scheduler sends the GPU job through a specialized high-performance Mellanox Ethernet (used in many supercomputers worldwide) to the most suitable GPU cluster.
- Client Apps: The Tygron Client is just one of several ways to connect to the API, including 3D Web Viewers, scripts, dashboards, GEO apps, etc. This means you don’t need to worry if the local application crashes; all your data is securely stored on the project server.
Secure Data Storage
- We use Privacy by Design, project data is only accessible to its owner. It is stored on our own bare-metal server hardware located in the Netherlands.
- Our policy is based on the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)[3].
- We have taken any possible technical and organizational measures to protect (personal) data and do regular penetration testing.
- Data is also automatically backup-ed to a remote location.
Supercomputer capabilities
The Project Servers are equipped with multi-terabyte (TB) RAM memory banks, eliminating the limitations of local computer resources. This capability allows for the simulation of flooding, heat stress, or your own models with billions of grid cells.
Additionally, the most demanding simulation tasks are offloaded to dedicated GPU Clusters, specifically designed to run massive parallel simulations across thousands of cores.
Shared Resources
- Resource Pooling: The Tygron Engine utilizes a multi-tenant model to serve multiple customers, dynamically assigning and reallocating resources based on demand.
- Broad Network Access: The servers are housed in a state-of-the-art Tier 3 data center with multiple internet connections, enabling your Geo Plugins to download new datasets quickly and reliably.
Account Management
Each Tygron User belongs to a separate Domain. Depending on the access level a User can do different things. Levels and permissions can be management via Account Management. The administrator can also force password length or activate Two-Factor Authentication.
