“What we’ve created at CyrusOne’s Houston data center campus is a geophysical computing center of excellence with 31 megawatts of critical power load available for customers and an HPC area that can deliver up to 900 watts per square foot,” said Gary Wojtaszek, president and chief executive officer of CyrusOne. “This means that companies involved in oil and gas exploration research and development can deploy the latest high-performance technology they need to manage the extreme levels of computing required in processing seismic data. We also see HPC demand growing across other industries as companies seek to more efficiently collect, process, store, and report data.”

Leveraging Expertise in High-Density Data Centers

Continuing to boost the critical power load at its Houston West data center campus demonstrates CyrusOne’s commitment to remaining the preferred data center destination for the energy sector’s high-density deployments of supercomputing equipment such as servers that process extremely complex seismic data collected from around the world.

CyrusOne’s Houston West campus features what it believes is the largest known concentration of HPC and high-density data center space in the colocation market, with ultra-high-density infrastructure across more than 24,000 square feet supporting up to 900 watts per square foot. The Houston West campus also houses the first-ever enterprise HPC cloud solution for the oil and gas industry. The solution enables companies to align performance computing directly to project periods and refresh cycles—optimizing budgets, time commitments, and technology for oil and gas customers managing seismic processing demands.

The company’s deep experience with high-density data centers is also assisting customers in other industry sectors to realize the benefits of supercomputing. Customers can gain efficiencies by using supercomputing solutions when the data center is appropriately engineered to handle higher density levels.

Delivering Best-in-Class Enterprise Facilities and Robust Connectivity

CyrusOne specializes in highly reliable enterprise data center colocation solutions and engineers its facilities with the highest power redundancy (2N architecture) and the power-density infrastructure required to deliver excellent availability.

Customers also have access to the CyrusOne National IX, which marries low-cost robust connectivity with the massively scaled data centers that CyrusOne is known for by creating the first-ever data center platform that virtually links a dozen of CyrusOne’s enterprise facilities in five metropolitan markets (Dallas, Houston, Austin, San Antonio, and Phoenix).

With the CyrusOne National IX, Fortune 500 enterprises are able to implement cost-effective, multi-location data center platforms that meet the disaster recovery requirements of Sarbanes Oxley, HIPAA, PCI, NASDAQ, NYSE, and many other regulatory frameworks because they can ensure their infrastructure is protected and accessible 100 percent of the time across multiple sites located throughout the country.

CyrusOne is renowned for exceptional service and for building enduring customer relationships and high customer satisfaction levels. Customers include nine of the Fortune 20 companies and more than 125 of the Fortune 1000.
