Global supercomputer leader Cray Inc. (Nasdaq:CRAY) today announced
that the Company has signed a solutions provider agreement with
Vanguard Infrastructures in order for Vanguard to develop, market,
and sell on premise and cloud-as-a-service cybersecurity solutions
that fuse supercomputing technologies with an open,
enterprise-ready software framework for big data analytics.
Vanguard has also purchased a Cray® Urika®-GX system.
Headquartered in Frisco, Texas, Vanguard Infrastructures offers
hosting services and custom-built cybersecurity solutions that
utilize the unique capabilities of graph analytics. With its new
Cray Urika-GX agile analytics platform and the integrated Cray
Graph Engine, Vanguard can offer advanced cybersecurity solutions
that can analyze billions of data points and behavioral mannerisms
of both human and machine to help customers combat cybersecurity
and insider threats.
“The unprecedented combination of speed and versatility of the
Cray Urika-GX system makes it a powerful component of a
comprehensive cybersecurity solution for threat detection,” said
Fred Kohout, Cray’s senior vice president of products and chief
marketing officer. “Vanguard can now provide its customers with
differentiated and customized cybersecurity solutions that combine
the strengths of Cray’s big data analytics infrastructure with
Vanguard’s security expertise.”
“Vanguard is honored to work with Cray to enrich the Urika-GX
and utilize its large-scale processing capabilities to solve
mission-critical security threats across industry verticals,” said
Vijay Richard, Executive Vice President, Vanguard Infrastructures.
“The Urika-GX platform powers Vanguard’s Intelligence to not only
detect, but also mitigate data exfiltration attempts. In addition,
the Cray Graph Engine rapidly and intuitively offers visualization
of networks, threats and interdiction activity in near
real-time.”
The Cray Urika-GX agile analytics platform features a scalable
analytics software environment designed to support large-scale data
science activity. An exclusive feature of the Cray Urika-GX system
is the Cray Graph Engine, which leverages the high-speed Aries
network interconnect, to provide unprecedented, large-scale graph
pattern matching and discovery operations across complex
collections of data. Also supported is the Apache® Spark™ cluster
engine and the Apache Hadoop® software library, both included to
provide the tools necessary for large-scale analytics and machine
learning operations. When combined, the three environments – Spark,
Hadoop and the Cray Graph Engine – enable customers to build
complete end-to-end analytics workflows and avoid unnecessary data
movement.
