Flexible Computing Performance

All HPC problems are not created equal. You need fast results and

reliable computing tools matched to your workloads.

That’s why we tailor the CS500™ cluster supercomputer to your

requirements.

The CS500 system is customizable, easy to manage, and based

on industry standards. It can handle the broadest range of simula-

tions and data-intensive workloads. And we’ll configure it to meet

your needs.

We optimize components and integrate them into a powerful

high-performance compute environment that can scale to over

11,000 nodes and 60+ peak PF. Flexible node configurations fea-

ture the latest processors and interconnect technology.

Expertly engineered software simplifies system administration and

maintenance.

Designed for Your Workload

We optimize industry-standard server nodes and components and

pair them with a comprehensive software stack. What you get is

a unified HPC system that excels at capacity- and data-intensive

workloads.

Select your chassis, blades, nodes, interconnect topology, stor-

age, and system management capabilities — for a high-perfor-

mance system designed, installed and supported by Cray super-

computing experts.

Reliable and Energy Efficient

Reliability starts with careful board and component selection, test-

ing and validation.

We add multiple layers of redundancy and fault tolerance to boost

your uptime. Your CS500 cluster has redundant power, cooling,

management servers and networks, all with failover capabilities.

Each system is backed by our team of experts.

Options to increase energy savings include high-efficiency,

load-balancing power supplies; liquid-cooled rack rear-door heat

exchangers and chillers; and, for some configurations, a choice

of power options that can reduce energy loss and total cost of

ownership.

Expert Cray Support

We’re dedicated to delivering outstanding support for the users,

organizations and businesses that depend on Cray technology.

Mission-critical systems around the globe rely on our service

teams for world-class support.

Cray support engineers, field engineers and field analysts are

experienced, highly trained, and backed by subject matter experts.

We can program, install, troubleshoot, maintain and administer

your system, and optimize your applications.

Plus you get access to product support groups and in-house sys-

tems to help wtih diagnostics.
