Oracle's New Supercomputer Has 1,060 Raspberry Pis

Does anyone know what power supply they are using? I am having trouble finding a good, rack-able USB power supply for my cluster of raspberryPis.

If anyone at the conference can sneak a peak at the PSU brand / model number, that would be great!

The important thing to remember about USB cables is that you can cut them open and do whatever you want. If you can solder, you can hook up the power and ground to anything with 5V.

Not sure what they used.

In my tiny 4 Pi cluster I'm using a regular 1U server PSU. It supplies 5v and can easily supply the current needed for the four Pis.

The power supply in picture seems to be labeled WANLONGXIN, which Google says is a manufacturer apparently.
