REVOLUTIONIZE HOW YOU STORE AND USE SEISMIC DATA
Achieve cost-effective storage and rapid data access with Bluware Volume Data Store (VDS™).
REAL-TIME Data Streaming
Seismic data is very large, making it difficult to move and use in workflows, and migrating it to the cloud is cost-prohibitive.
Bluware VDS compresses raw and interpreted seismic data sets, making them adaptable and scalable, giving your organization the advantages of fast data access, cost-effective cloud storage, and compute-intensive workflows.

WHY MOVE SEISMIC DATA TO THE CLOUD?
Moving seismic data to the cloud is difficult and expensive. Plus lifting and shifting your current interpretation tools and services to the cloud yields little business value.
It isn’t until applications, workflows, and even the data storage formats are re-engineered, that real business value and storage cost-savings can be realized. Explore how this is possible today with Bluware.
SUPPORTS MULTIPLE E&P DATA TYPES
Seismic lines
regularized single-z horizons/height-maps
attribute volumes up to 6D
Pre-stack volumes
post-stack volumes
geo-body volumes
VDS STORAGE SYSTEMS
VDS FILE
VDS Files can be stored on premises as a traditional file on disk making it portable and usable on existing file systems.
VDS CLOUD
VDS Cloud is optimized for cloud object storage making it highly cost-effective and massively scalable.
VDS FEATURES
ADAPTIVE STREAMING™
VDS eliminates the need to copy and convert data to different formats by only serving the required signal quality to the workflow, yielding extremely fast data access.
TRULOSSLESS™ ADAPTIVE COMPRESSION
RANDOM ACCESS PATTERNS
VDS supports random-access patterns, which is key in enabling highly intensive workflows like interactive deep learning.
TRUSERVERLESS™
The VDS architecture is serverless and simple to deploy, so it is cloud-ready and highly transportable, reducing hardware and cloud storage costs.
OPTIMIZED FOR GPU AND MULTI-THREADING
The engine interprets what the user is requesting and prefetches data, resulting in fast data performance.
WORKFLOW DRIVEN
Direct API access makes typical workflows easy.
VDS IMPLEMENTATIONS
Bluware also offers OpenVDS and OpenVDS+ to eliminate historical concerns of a vendor-locked format. Regardless of which version of VDS is chosen, your data can all be freely converted back to its original format. By supporting open standards and sanctioning format conversion, these VDS implementations yield benefits to the entire ecosystem of seismic data wranglers and not just a walled-off segment of the oil, gas, and energy industry.



OPENVDS
Bluware created OpenVDS™, an open source API to access VDS, available on The Open Group OSDU™ Data Platform.
Openvds+
Bluware provides OpenVDS+, which has all the capabilities of the OpenVDS API and adds the ability to compress VDS using Bluware’s industry leading compression technology.
TAKE IT FROM THE EXPERTS
“I can see all the software in the cloud giving us the ability to pull what we need to construct the workflows that best suit our assets. It truly is impressive how Bluware has made the data compression and random-access work together and how it has built them into a usable platform on which we can build our own seismic workflows.”
