The OSC-Springfield offices would officially open in April 2004. Over the
next several months, OSC engineers would install the 16-MSP Cray X1 system, the Cray XD1 system and the 33-node Apple Xserve G5 Cluster at Springfield office. A 1-Gbit/s Ethernet WAN service linked the cluster to OSC’s remote-site hosts in Columbus. The G5 Cluster featured one front-end node configured with four gigabytes of RAM, two 2.0 gigahertz PowerPC G5 processors, 2-Gigabit Fibre Channel interfaces, approximately 750 gigabytes of local disk and about 12 terabytes of Fibre Channel attached storage.
