DDN Collaborates with Atos to Boost Weather Prediction Capabilities for European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF)
Summary
ECMWF will be equipped with an enhanced computing capacity to help predict the occurrence and intensity of extreme weather events significantly ahead of time, with an improved infrastructure comprised of more than 91PB of DDN EXAScaler® storage, connected to BullSequana XH2000 supercomputer from Atos. "Our BullSequana XH2000 and DDN EXAScaler combined solution, provides more computing power to support users to go beyond the limits of traditional simulation," said Agnès Boudot, senior vice president, Head of HPC & Quantum at Atos. "As the leading European supercomputer manufacturer, we are proud to be working together with DDN and ECMWF to not only boost Europes weather prediction capabilities and take proactive precautions as needed, but to also explore new technologies to be prepared for next-generation applications." For more than 20 years, DDN has designed, developed, deployed and optimized systems, software and storage solutions that enable enterprises, service providers, universities and government agencies to generate more value and to accelerate time to insight from their data and information, on premise and in the cloud. Organizations leverage the power of DDN storage technology and the deep technical expertise of its team to capture, store, process, analyze, collaborate and distribute data, information and content at the largest scale in the most efficient, reliable and cost-effective manner.
