MELUXINA
In June 2021, LuxProvide launched MeluXina, the EuroHPC supercomputer hosted in Luxembourg, on the EVIDEN BullSequana XH2000 platform, with 18 PetaFlops of computing power and 20 PetaBytes of storage.
It integrates simulation, modeling, data analytics, and AI, thanks to its scalable architecture and GPU AI accelerators.
MeluXina ranked 36th globally and was the greenest in the EU in the Top500 ranking.
Named after Luxembourg’s legend of the mermaid Melusina, it underscores Luxembourg’s digital innovation, using water-cooling to reflect its namesake.
The acquisition and operation of the EuroHPC supercomputer is fundedjointly by the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking, through the European Union’sConnecting Europe Facility and the Horizon 2020 research andinnovation programme, as well as the Grand Duche du Luxembourg.
Security and Sovereignty: Protecting Your Data with LuxProvide
At LuxProvide, security and data sovereignty are central to everything we do. Through our infrastructure, operated in Luxembourg and governed by strict European standards, we ensure that your data remains secure, private and fully compliant. Below, you’ll find a detailed overview of our security measures, certifications and infrastructure guarantees.
DATA SOVEREIGNITY

DATA CENTER TIER IV
Data Sovereignty: Keeping Your Data in Luxembourg
MeluXina is operated by LuxProvide under the supervision of the Ministry of the Economy and the Ministry of State. The system is hosted in data centres located in Luxembourg and run by LuxConnect, enabling full compliance with Luxembourg and EU regulations on data protection and digital sovereignty.
ISO 27001 Certification: Internationally Recognized Security Standards
Certified information security with MeluXina is among the few European supercomputers certified under ISO/IEC 27001, an internationally recognised standard for information security management. This certification confirms that LuxProvide follows rigorous protocols to manage and protect data across its operations, giving clients full confidence in the safety of their information.
Tier IV Data Centers: Maximum Reliability and Uptime
MeluXina is hosted in Tier IV certified data centres – the highest level of redundancy and reliability in the industry. With 99.995% availability and full component fault tolerance, this infrastructure ensures continuous operation and data accessibility, even during maintenance or unexpected disruptions.
Data Isolation: Protecting Your Sensitive Information
Client data within MeluXina is strictly isolated using a combination of hardware and software safeguards. This setup significantly reduces the risk of data leakage or unauthorised access, providing a secure, private environment for computation.
Data Backup and Archiving: Protection Against Data Loss
Reliable backup and archiving services are in place to protect against accidental loss, user errors or system outages. These solutions offer peace of mind, ensuring that data can be recovered efficiently whenever needed.
Network Resilience: Stable, Uninterrupted Service
MeluXina’s network is designed with multiple redundant links to both public and private networks. This robust configuration minimises the risk of service interruptions and guarantees stable, high-speed connectivity for all workloads.
Secure Private Connectivity: Direct, Protected Access
LuxProvide supports direct private connections, including via LU-CIX, Restena and GÉANT. This eliminates reliance on the public internet for sensitive transfers, offering clients a secure and efficient channel for moving data between locations or systems.
Privacy through anonymisation
To protect client confidentiality, LuxProvide anonymises all projects hosted on MeluXina. Identifying details such as organisation or user names are replaced with neutral identifiers, ensuring that project information remains private at all times.

FLOPS PEAK PERFORMANCE
MeluXina’s computing power is so extensive that matching it would require every person on Earth to perform over two million calculations per second, all at the same time.
USING MELUXINA
Direct use of high-performance computing
Standard access to MeluXina allows users to run workloads directly on the supercomputing platform. This is ideal for large-scale simulations, data analytics, AI model training and other intensive computational tasks.
Users can interact with the system via batch scheduling, secure command-line interfaces and dedicated computing environments tailored to their needs.
This access path is best suited for users who require full control over their computing workflows and have experience working in HPC environments.
MELUXINA, THE CLOUD-ENABLED SUPERCOMPUTER
We are engineering the MeluXina Cloud to provide gateways to our supercomputing platform, supporting your most intensive computational and data workflows.
The MeluXina Cloud hosts:
- interactive environments for building and running AI models
- container registries that deliver encapsulated, trusted applications to supercomputing container engines
- portals and APIs that will enable you to deploy applications tailored to your needs
- object-oriented interfaces to our data pools
A Kubernetes platform running on top of the MeluXina Cloud is in the works. It will link the supercomputing platform to flexible, cloud-native services, and empower scalable AI solutions.
