Atos to support C-DAC in its National Supercomputing Mission

Atos has announced a major 3-year contract with the C-DAC (Centre for Development of Advanced Computing), an organization within the MeitY (Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology, India) to supply its BullSequana supercomputers. This contract is part of the NSM (National Supercomputing Mission), a 7-year plan of Rs.4,500 crore (~$650 million) led by the Government of India which aims to create a network of over 70 high-performance supercomputing facilities for various academic and research institutions across India.

This project will see Atos deploy its BullSequana supercomputers, with a cumulative computing power of more than 10 petaflops. These supercomputers, including the recently announced BullSequana XH2000, will be installed in various academic and research institutions, making Atos a leading supercomputing provider in India for this segment.

Arvind Bajaj, Vice-President and Head Big Data & Security, Atos in India, says, “We would like to thank the Hon’ble Minister MEIT, Secretary, MEIT, and the Director General of C-DAC, Dr Hemant Darbari for giving this opportunity to participate in such a prestigious program. We are very excited and looking forward to this unique technology partnership with C-DAC. Besides delivery of the Make-in-India Supercomputers, the partnership will bring to bear cooperation in many emerging areas, including exascale computing, artificial intelligence and quantum computing.”
