Houston, has joined the NetApp Alliance Partner Program as an Advantage Alliance Partner. This partnership comes at a time when organizations in the oil and gas industry have increasingly higher demands for computing performance. The new alliance will focus on helping customers satisfy their computing needs by harnessing the advantages of 64-bit processing. The two organizations recently collaborated with a major US independent producer to develop test cases documenting improvements that can be seen using SMT's KINGDOM software with NetApp storage and data management in a 64-bit computing environment. These findings indicate real benefits for geoscientists. For example, executing 3D time slices on the fly improved by nearly 60%; read/writes to the Oracle database improved, on average, 25%. Material gains were also seen in data loading speeds.
