IBRIX Customer EMGS Receives InfoWorld 100 Award
IBRIX ® Inc., the leader in scalable file serving solutions, today announced its customer, Electromagnetic Geoservices ASA (EMGS), the market leader in deep electromagnetic imaging, is a recipient of the InfoWorld 100 Awards for its innovative use of IBRIX’s scalable file serving software, IBRIX Fusion . Each year, the InfoWorld 100 Awards honor 100 companies for IT projects that exemplify intelligent, creative uses of technology to meet business and technical objectives.
EMGS has seen explosive demand for the company’s oceanic data collection and deep electromagnetic (EM) imaging analyses that help energy companies manage risks associated with locating oil reserves. EM surveys, processed at four EMGS locations around the globe, require extensive computational calculations. The company launched a new compute cluster, Aurora, in March 2008 to accommodate increasing demand for its surveys. Aurora is comprised of IBRIX Fusion software integrated with 1,300 Dell™ PowerEdge™ 1955 dual-core servers in addition to EMGS’ original compute cluster running IBRIX on 500 dual processor Dell™ PowerEdge™ 1855 servers. The cluster also includes 106 terabytes of storage capacity across 4 EMC ® CX3-40 storage arrays. The updated storage environment has enabled EMGS to perform 70 trillion calculations per second.
“We are honored to be included in the InfoWorld 100 and to be recognized for our technology innovation. EMGS is committed to providing the best EM surveys to our customers and the investment we have made in our storage environment has significantly improved our end product,” said Helge Stranden, IT Manager of EMGS. “With IBRIX software, we produce three times the computational workload of the previous system and deliver processor-intensive maps to customers faster than ever before.”
"Breathing new life into outdated operations, advancing business goals with inventive use of technology—this year's winners demonstrate, once again, that innovative, business-minded IT is the lifeblood of successful organizations," said Jason Snyder, Senior Editor for InfoWorld.
This is the second consecutive year that an IBRIX customer has been recognized for its implementation of IBRIX Fusion to meet business objectives. Last year, AOL was honored for its use of IBRIX Fusion to support AOL MapQuest as well as its free, secure online storage service.
