PITTSBURGH, Oct. 25, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Rescale and
ANSYS (NASDAQ: ANSS) are spearheading a simulation and cloud
computing program that enables startups to quickly and
cost-effectively bring their innovative products to market. The
program will provide qualifying startups access to Amazon Web
Services (AWS) cloud solutions, Rescale's big compute resources,
and ANSYS Pervasive Engineering Simulation™ tools, which enable
startups to run large-scale simulations on par with larger
companies.
The program removes a key barrier for many startups – access to
on-premises and high-performance computing. The ANSYS Startup
Program offers low-cost access to ANSYS' leading suite of
engineering simulation products to startups around the world.
Through Rescale's zero-footprint, web-based cloud platform for big
compute, program participants can seamlessly run ANSYS simulation
tools from a browser window with a standard Internet connection.
Companies have access to unlimited computing scale and specialty
hardware for multiphysics simulations.
"The ability to provide cloud licensing on Rescale's ScaleX
platform for the ANSYS Startup Program has been the best thing to
happen to our company," said Mike
Hollenbeck, chief technology officer and co-founder of
Optisys, a program participant. "It allows us to compete in the 3-D
printing field, which is expanding exponentially and enabling
unprecedented capabilities."
Within the proprietary cloud-based license provisioning systems,
customers can use their existing compute credits for AWS on the
Rescale platform.
"By choosing AWS as the foundation of the ANSYS Startup
Program's cloud strategy, ANSYS and Rescale have created a
cost-effective solution that is intuitive, reliable and scalable,"
said Dave Wright, general manager,
Worldwide Strategic Technology Partners, Amazon Web Services, Inc.
"AWS is excited to collaborate with Rescale and ANSYS to help
hardware startup customers to design and deliver transformational
products."
"Offering a cloud-based big compute solution for the ANSYS
Startup Program provides a valuable advantage to startups with big
ambitions," said Matt McKee,
director of western region sales at Rescale. "The seamless cloud
delivery of ANSYS simulation tools on Rescale's big compute
platform on AWS lets startups compete immediately."
"Through the power of simulation, our customers are driving
product innovation, improving product quality and reducing
development cost," said Paul
Lethbridge, senior manager, ANSYS Startup Program. "With AWS
and Rescale, we're providing startups with cloud-based access that
also eliminates the overhead of workstation-class hardware and
software — empowering startups to allocate more of their funding
toward developing innovative technology and products."
