Cray Awarded $26 Million Supercomputer Contract From the Department of Defense High Performance Computing Modernization Program - Seite 2

The Cray Sonexion storage solution will include more than four petabytes of storage capacity, including SSD technology, running at speeds approaching half of a terabyte per-second of bandwidth. Cray's Sonexion storage system combines Cray's Lustre expertise tightly integrated in a unique design that allows scalability from five gigabytes per-second to more than a terabyte per-second in a single file system. Management and operations are simplified through an appliance design with all storage components including software, storage and infrastructure.

The initial contract, awarded by US Army Engineering and Support Center, Huntsville, is valued at more than $26 million in product revenue and also includes four separately priced one year options for maintenance. The system is expected to be installed in late 2014.
