PITTSBURGH, May 29, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Ansys (NASDAQ: ANSS) today announced the
launch of Ansys Access on Microsoft Azure to enable seamless
deployment of pre-configured Ansys products on Azure cloud platform
infrastructure. Available May 30,
customers using their own Azure subscription with existing Ansys
licenses can benefit from a more scalable, secure, and
cost-effective approach to running HPC simulations in the
cloud.
As cloud computing continues to gain traction across industries,
the demand for purpose-built hardware focused on HPC requirements
has increased. Additionally, there are many challenges that need to
be addressed when using simulation in the cloud. These include
validating on-premises workloads that have been shifted to the
cloud, the ongoing work to deploy and test new virtual machines
(VMs) and configuring adjacent cloud-based infrastructure in a
cost-effective manner.
Ansys Access on Azure addresses these challenges by delivering
pre-tested and configured Ansys applications updated with each
major release and aligned to a curated set of recommended VMs and
HPC infrastructure. This simplifies implementation for IT
departments, giving them better control over cost while also
empowering engineers to unlock the benefits of the high-performance
Azure VMs.
"At Movares we use Ansys Mechanical™ for extensive fatigue
calculations on steel bridges," said Roelof
Oppenhuis, project manager, Movares Europe. "With Ansys
Access on Microsoft Azure, we can further explore industry-leading
solutions and optimal infrastructure to run our complex, critical
calculations in the most efficient way. In addition to the
user-friendly setup environment, the Ansys Elite Channel Partner
Infinite and Ansys support teams are quick to respond and resolve
any issues."
"As computer-aided engineering moves farther into cloud
computing, it is crucial that Ansys customers have the right tools
to not only keep pace with this transition, but to thrive in this
new era," said Shane Emswiler,
senior vice president of products at Ansys. "With Ansys Access on
Microsoft Azure, IT managers can use existing or new services and
licenses in one place, keeping deployment costs low. This reduction
in administrative and financial obligations opens the door for
increased productivity and ultimately, more innovation."
"This collaboration not only simplifies implementation for IT
departments but also empowers engineers to unlock the advantages of
high-performance Microsoft Azure virtual machines, enhancing
engineering and IT workflows. As cloud computing gains traction
across industries, Ansys Access on Azure makes it easier for
organizations to scale simulations and accelerate product
innovation," said Dominik Wee,
Corporate Vice President, Manufacturing and Mobility,
Microsoft.
