More engineering teams are accessing high-performance computing (HPC) resources on the cloud to resolve urgent workloads. Ansys Gateway powered by AWS enables a hybrid approach that combines internal computing capacity and cloud resources only when required. Engineers and other product development stakeholders need to change some aspects of the practices and workflows they’ve become accustomed to. The Ansys white paper compares the cost and time required to solve a simulation problem with Ansys’ proprietary cloud platform to typical internal HPC clusters. Ansys experts changed the HPC configurations to analyze the effects of those alterations to obtain the “optimal” HPC configuration and delivery model for a given organization. Turntide Technologies and Emirates Team New Zealand are Ansys customers that have enjoyed a huge improvement in speed by using Ansys Gateway powered by AWS software.
This plug-and-play cloud platform is an HPC resource that can be turned on or off as your computing needs change, without the need to pay a fixed licensing fee. Ansys has seen firsthand the hurdles that engineers must overcome to accelerate their solution times via cloud resources. Many Ansys customers are already leveraging the benefits of a hybrid, flexible approach, supplementing their internal HPC resources by running their workloads in the cloud. Companies that use a tool such as Ansys Gateway powered by AWS software minimize the effort required to familiarize engineers with running simulation on AWS. Ansys can help by looking at the unique characteristics of your computing patterns and can help identify the best solution for your needs.
The Ansys cloud platform enables you to access advanced software and hardware on demand. With no queues, there are no wait times. Users can quickly run simulations to combat critical project milestones. Additionally, companies can avoid the upfront investments, in-house IT staffing, and long-term maintenance costs associated with on-premises HPC clusters. Ansys is invested in optimizing your company’s simulation outcomes no matter what approach is needed.
