REVOLUTIONIZE HOW YOU STORE AND USE SEISMIC DATA

Achieve cost-effective storage and rapid data access with Bluware Volume Data Store (VDS™).

WHY CONVERT YOUR SEISMIC DATA TO VDS?

Seismic data is very large, making it difficult to move and use in workflows.

Bluware VDS compresses raw and interpreted seismic data sets, enabling them to be adaptable and scalable. Now your organization can take advantage of fast data access, cost-effective storage, and better visualization workflows.

EXPLORING WAYS TO SAVE ON STORAGE COSTS?

VDS can immediately reduce your seismic data footprint up to 75%.

Our industry-tested compression technology supports zero-loss. The original SEG-Y data can be compressed to a level of your choice without storing copies, significantly reducing size, all without impacting workflows.

VDS eliminates the need to copy and convert data to different formats by only serving one version of your data in the required signal quality for your workflow, yielding extremely fast data access. The VDS architecture is serverless and simple to deploy, so it is highly transportable, reducing hardware and storage costs.

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 HYBRID

VDS Hybrid is optimized for storing data on premises and on the cloud for those organizations transitioning to the cloud.

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

Our industry-tested compression technology supports zero-loss. The original SEG-Y data can be compressed to a level of your choice without storing copies, creating significant size reduction, all without impacting workflows.

RANDOM ACCESS PATTERNS

VDS supports random-access patterns, which is key to 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 offers OpenVDS an open source API and OpenVDS+ freeware 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.

CUSTOMER SUCCESS

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.”
