Veritas opens new data processing center in Stavanger

Stavanger 27 Jul 99 Veritas DGC opened its newest data processing centre in Stavanger, Norway. The new center will perform both 2D and 3D data processing services. Equipped with Hewlett-Packard C-class workstation technology, the new centre is tightly integrated via a fast network to Veritas' NEC SX-4 supercomputers in Crawley, U.K., Houston, U.S.A., and Singapore. These powerful resources enable the new centre to offer enhanced services such as depth migration, velocity model building, AVO processing, modeling and inversion.

"Stavanger is part of our continuing strategy to provide improved services to clients by putting satellite centres close to their offices, while also providing access to our regional supercomputer hubs, " says Gareth Williams, Marketing Manager of Data Processing for Veritas in Europe, Africa and the Middle East (EAME). "This provides our clients with the optimum combination of close interaction with our staff plus the benefits of huge supercomputer power."

Stavanger is the third such satellite centreto be opened by Veritas in the EAME region, following their recent expansions in Aberdeen, Scotland and Abu Dhabi, U.A.E. The Stavanger facility was installed during May 1999, and has been fully operational since early June.
