Cegal and Qumlo have signed an agreement to integrate Cegal’s subsurface data management and Cetegra capabilities with Qumulo’s cloud native architecture.
Qumulo’s file service platform, including Cloud Native Qumulo, Azure Native Qumulo, and Cloud Data Fabric will be merged into Cegal software.
Cegal chief technology officer John Henrik Andersen said: ‘Cegal is known for delivering energy workflows in Microsoft Azure and private clouds, especially with Cegal Cetegra. Now, integrated with the full suite of Qumulo’s cloud native services, optimised for oil and gas workloads, our customers will benefit from faster elastic performance and better economics, significantly reducing the time to decisions and increasing value.’
Qumulo president and CEO, Doug Gourlay, added: ‘With this technology, Qumulo and Cegal can offer up to three times the performance of competitive products in the cloud while delivering improved economics. Cegal’s expertise and technology integrations in petrotechnical applications enhance this value for our mutual energy sector customers.’
Applications like Petrel, DecisionSpace, ArcGIS will be able to perform operations faster with data stored in the Qumulo file systems.
The Qumulo cloud-native architecture uses fast NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory express) and Managed Disks, as well as object storage, and supports multiple file protocols simultaneously. Qumulo Predictive Caching detects the user’s workflow, predicts what files are required by the workload next, and pre-fetches data into a cache that reduces file system latency and increases application performance.
Customers will save between 20% and 50% on the total cost of ownership for their file storage and performance environment by switching their existing cloud or on-premises solution to one designed by Cegal and Qumulo, the partners said.
