Cambridge Semantics, a provider of semantic-technology-powered application development tools, has announced an agreement with supercomputer provider Cray Inc. to collectively develop and market high performance data solutions. Through the agreement, both companies will jointly market and sell current and new solutions, including the Cray XMT system and Cambridge Semantics’ Anzo product suite.

Says Alok Prasad, Cambridge Semantics’ president, “Combining the flexibility and speed Cambridge Semantics brings to multi-source data integration with Cray’s computing power provides next generation capabilities to enterprises. This agreement will enable businesses to handle complex queries and data analytics, address high-volume collaboration across partners and across firewalls, and support data driven process needs where data from varied sources can be rapidly integrated to address high volumes of complex data.”

Shoaib Mufti, Director of Knowledge Management in Cray’s Custom Engineering group, adds, “We are working on innovative solutions to enable knowledge discovery from Web scale data. The Anzo product suite running on the Cray XMT system is designed to give users the ability to perform complex analysis in real time, while staying within their familiar development environment.”
