Cray Solutions for Energy

Energy makes the world go. Cray helps put the go in energy exploration.

From oil and gas exploration to investigating renewable energy sources, energy research needs reliable, scalable high performance computing (HPC) and storage for the essential tasks of data acquisition, data management and computational modeling.

Cray's massively parallel Cray XC30 and Cray XK7 systems scale from hundreds to thousands of nodes and deliver powerful I/O performance. These features make them excellent platforms for the computational and data-driven simulations demanded by work such as seismic processing and fusion energy research. The capacity-oriented Cray CS300-LC and Cray CS300-LC cluster supercomputers offer high performance and maximum configuration flexibility. Cray storage and data management provides integrated, reliable and modular scale-out Lustre storage solutions that maximize file system performance and scalability at any size. And the Urika graph analytics appliance transforms Big Data problems into meaningful information.

Leaders in energy research choose Cray. Oak Ridge National Laboratory, the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center, large integrated oil companies and more are using their Cray systems to revolutionize energy science – providing insights on everything from fusion to wind energy.

	"The oil and gas industry's acute need for scalable high performance storage and its willingness to adopt cutting-edge technologies plays well into Cray’s strength of delivering sophisticated, productive HPC systems. The company has a long track record of successful deployments, which includes storage systems even larger and faster than any currently used in seismic analysis. Finally, Cray’s position as a supercomputing leader of long-standing makes it a trusted choice for businesses looking for a proven HPC technology partner." —Michael Feldman, Senior Analyst, Intersect360 Research
