This exciting integration brings together the power of Altair's industry-leading technologies with the scalability and flexibility of Microsoft Azure, opening new possibilities for businesses to drive innovation and accelerate simulation and modeling. Altair Unlimited on the Azure Marketplace is a game-changer for organizations seeking a turnkey solution that boxes up software, system administration, and infrastructure as a service into a single, intuitive platform.
A quote from Kurt Niebuhr, Principal PDM Manager, Software and Ecosystem Lead for High Performance Computing at Microsoft, highlights the significance of this collaboration: "The availability of Altair Unlimited on the Azure Marketplace marks a significant milestone in our quest to empower customers with cutting-edge tools for HPC and simulation. By combining Altair's expertise with the scalability and reliability of Azure, we are enabling engineers and designers to streamline their work, accelerate time-to-insights, and achieve transformative outcomes."
Altair Unlimited offers a comprehensive suite of tools and capabilities, including unlimited use of a wide range of Altair® HyperWorks® solver software for simulating mechanics, fluids, electromagnetics, and more. Through the convenience of the Azure marketplace, users can now access Altair modeling, visualization, and optimization tools on demand, including solutions for HPC administration and easy HPC access, through a secure, cloud-based environment. This integration brings numerous benefits, including expanded computing capacity, robust design capabilities, and third-party solver support, empowering users to run all their favorite CAE software on a secure, cloud-based platform that simplifies access to HPC infrastructure at an affordable cost.
By leveraging Altair Unlimited on Azure, organizations can get started right away without the lengthy deployment process that comes with traditional HPC resources. The cloud-based nature of this solution eliminates the need for significant upfront investments in infrastructure, making it accessible to businesses of all sizes. Litens Automotive Group selected Altair Unlimited on Azure to increase their parallel computing power and take advantage of cloud resources to expand the company’s HPC capabilities. The Litens team saw a 3-5x increase in throughput compared to their previous process on high-end, non-linear, computationally intense activities, and twice to three times that value on computationally lighter problems.
The combination of Altair Unlimited and Azure provides reliable, secure cloud computing that gives users access to all the tools they need. With the ability to leverage Azure's robust infrastructure, organizations can easily scale their simulation and modeling workloads, enabling faster time-to-results and innovation at scale.
