Case Study: Petroleum Geo-Services (PGS) achieves secure, high-performance, scalable seismic data processing with CyrusOne's Houston West Data Center

How PGS migrated Mission-Critical Data Infrastructure to CyrusOne’s Houston West Data Center

Petroleum Geo-Services (PGS), a Norway-founded provider of seismic, electromagnetic and data processing services for the oil and gas industry, faced the challenge of reliably executing remote seismic processing and interpretation across global E&P teams. Handling massive, complex datasets meant any weak link in storage, transfer or compute could create bottlenecks that slow workflows, reduce productivity and impact client deliverables.

PGS colocated its mission-critical infrastructure at CyrusOne’s Houston West data center, using hardened 2N/N+1 architectures, 24x7 security and biometric access, high power density, and dedicated inter-facility fiber links. The solution improved uptime and power efficiency, enabled fast, reliable multi-terabyte data transfers, simplified scalability and reduced fiber deployment costs and risks—meeting and exceeding PGS’s performance requirements while providing proximity to the major Houston E&P market.
