In a partnership between Cray and Deloitte Advisory Cyber Risk Services, the two bring subscription-based supercomputer power to security analytics capabilities.

The challenges of modern cyber-security are complex, so complex that a supercomputer can make a big difference. That's the hope of supercomputer vendor Cray and its partner Deloitte Advisory Cyber Risk Services. The two announced a subscription-based Cyber Reconnaissance and Analytics service that uses the recently announced Cray Urika-GX supercomputer that can provide up to 1,728 compute cores, 22 terabytes of memory and 35TB of solid-state drive storage. Perhaps, even more importantly, the Urika-GX has been designed to help enable big data workloads, including Apache Hadoop and Spark.
