Leading Australian Research Agency Invests in MSC.Software VPD
Solutions to Accelerate Scientific Discovery Commonwealth
Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO) Chooses
Flexible Simulation Software Environment MELBOURNE, Australia, Feb.
8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- MSC.Software Corp. (NYSE:MNS), the
leading global provider of virtual product development (VPD)
products including simulation software and services, today
announced that Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research
Organization (CSIRO) has purchased a MSC.MasterKey License System
from MSC.Software. The MSC.MasterKey Licensing System will be
implemented at the CSIRO High Performance Scientific Computing
Centre, located in Melbourne, Australia, to provide a central
hardware and software service for the use of CSIRO scientists and
engineers across all divisions throughout Australia. The
MSC.MasterKey Licensing System gives researchers at CSIRO the
ability to take advantage of the breadth and depth of
MSC.Software's portfolio of simulation tools within a flexible
licensing system, allowing researchers to use MSC.Software
simulation tools wherever and whenever they are needed.
"MSC.Software enjoys a very close relationship with the world's
leading research institutions and the MSC.MasterKey System is the
perfect tool for their needs," says Frank Perna, chairman and chief
executive officer of MSC.Software. "By providing scientists and
researchers with easy access to a broad spectrum of simulation
tools, they can spend more time innovating and less time dealing
with the logistics of setting up experiments or dealing with
bureaucracy. We have a strong team in Australia and I am confident
that the engineers at CSIRO will look forward to working with them
and enjoying the industry's best simulation software portfolio."
"The extremely wide science and engineering research scope
undertaken by CSIRO is a perfect example of the reasons why
flexible software licensing is critical for research programs
involving personnel located across nationally distributed sites,"
said Dr. Rhys Francis, Director, CSIRO High Performance Scientific
Computing. "The diversity of research programs plus the large
number of projects and teams was the perfect environment for
MSC.MasterKey. Instant access to diverse software via a streamlined
licensing arrangement from one provider, will provide increased
productivity and cost reductions through elimination of license
redundancies. Locating the license service with the High
Performance Scientific Computing Centre allows solvers to run on
the fastest available machines in CSIRO and gives access to large
memory sizes, allowing researchers to tackle problems beyond the
capabilities of desktop systems." About CSIRO Australia is founding
its future on science and innovation. Its national science agency,
CSIRO, is a powerhouse of ideas, technologies and skills for
building prosperity, growth, health and sustainability. It serves
governments, industries, business and communities across the
nation. Over 6500 staff in 20 research Divisions, located across 58
sites throughout Australia and overseas, carry out research and
development in fields of economic, social and environmental
importance including agriculture, communications and information
technology, health, manufacturing and construction, minerals and
energy, services, the environment, transport and infrastructure.
