Cray Inc (CRAY) was a company that developed and manufactured supercomputers used for high-performance computing (HPC) applications. The company was founded in 1972 and was headquartered in Seattle, Washington.
Cray's supercomputers were used in a variety of industries, including government, academia, and the private sector, to help solve complex problems in fields such as weather forecasting, energy exploration, and scientific research. The company's products included the Cray XC series, Cray CS series, and Cray Urika-GD series.
In 2019, Cray was acquired by Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) for $1.3 billion. After the acquisition, Cray became a wholly-owned subsidiary of HPE and continued to operate under the Cray brand name. The acquisition allowed HPE to expand its HPC offerings and strengthen its position in the high-performance computing market.
