1 Enterprise HPC & Cloud Computing for Engineering Simulation Barbara Hutchings Director, Strategic Partnerships ANSYS, Inc.

2 Historical Perspective Evolution of Computing for Simulation Pendulum swing: Centralized to distributed to centralized Remote to local to remote Consistent trends: Scale up (cores/processors, workloads) Globalization / collaboration IT complexity (applications/users) Mainframes Client/Server Workstation/PCs Local Clusters Shared HPC Grid Cloud, Mobile

3 Rising Role of IT Focus on Innovation and Efficiency Looking ahead, executives expect IT to create new platforms to support innovation and growth the highest current priorities for IT: improving the effectiveness and efficiency of business processes and reducing IT costs.

4 Current Trends IT Environment for Engineering Simulation Scale-up of high performance computing new/ emerging architectures more and bigger workloads Efficient centralized infrastructure (or cloud) with effective remote access Collaboration hubs with secure and scalable data access Support for mobile platforms

5 Current Trends / ANSYS Strategy Spectrum of Private, Hosted and Public Cloud Software & User Environment: Seamless usability and remote access Hardware: Private cloud or hosted HPC (w/ data security ) later Business: Evolution / Add flexibility of usage to traditional license model Graphic courtesy of IBM

6 ANSYS Cloud & HPC Product Strategy Optimizing Remote Simulation Workflow Local computing infrastructure for simulation is transitioning to centralized HPC resources, shared by a globally distributed workforce ANSYS Customer Initiatives Datacenter Consolidation Private / Public Cloud Globally Connected R&D IP Protection & Leverage Virtual Desktop Enabling Simulation Practices Data Management Data remains in the datacenter Eliminate file transfer bottlenecks Data centralization for collaboration Mobility and Remote Access Beyond batch processing! Centralized Flexible Licensing HPC Users
