About the Company
For over 40 years we have been developing highly advanced computing solutions for the world`s most complex science, engineering and analytics challenges. Ever since we introduced the world`s first supercomputer in 1976, our technologies have helped solve today`s problems and made tomorrow`s questions possible. At our core we are technology pioneers. We work with our customers and users to understand what they`re trying to do and what problems they can`t solve with existing technologies. Then we develop complete supercomputing solutions that help them address their otherwise unanswerable questions. Our portfolio consists of three product lines: supercomputers, storage and data management systems, and data analytics solutions. We offer them individually or integrated into a complete solution depending on a customer`s need.
