Cray Adds Additional Storage Options for the Cray CX1 Deskside Supercomputer

SEATTLE, WA, Jun 24 (MARKET WIRE) --
Global supercomputer leader Cray Inc. (NASDAQ: CRAY) today announced that
customers who purchase a Cray CX1(TM) deskside supercomputer can now
personalize their systems with new storage features. Available
immediately, Cray CX1 customers now have two more options in configuring
their deskside supercomputers -- solid-state drives (SSDs) and large
capacity, fixed-drive storage blades.

"The addition of these new storage options is intended to further broaden
the customer base for the Cray CX1 system by providing enhanced storage
choices to add to the existing compute, visualization and accelerator
blades," said Ian Miller, senior vice president of the productivity
solutions group and marketing at Cray. "Flexibility and customization are
important aspects of the Cray CX1, and we are excited to provide our
customers with yet another means to personalize their deskside
supercomputers."

The large capacity, fixed-drive storage blade accommodates up to 4.5
terabytes of storage per blade. With a configuration that allows for up to
four total storage blades, a single Cray CX1 system can accommodate 18
terabytes of total storage. The SSD storage option is available in two
sizes -- 32 gigabytes or 64 gigabytes -- for a maximum of 256 gigabytes of
total SSD storage. SSDs provide customers with faster read/write speeds
and faster input/output operations per second than traditional hard disk
drives (HDDs). Also, SSDs consume less electrical power than HDDs while
providing greater reliability due to the absence of moving parts.
