category

Cloud HPC and digital engineering

market profile

  • text: Computational engineering teams need elastic infrastructure and specialized applications for simulation and AI workloads.
  • text: Enterprise HPC buying spans technical engineers, infrastructure owners and leadership responsible for cost and security.
  • text: Cloud providers and simulation vendors can be ecosystem partners as well as alternatives to platform orchestration.

personas

  • title: Director of engineering simulation
    pains:
    • Long simulation queues delay design iteration
    • Limited capacity prevents exploration of more design candidates
  • title: HPC or IT infrastructure manager
    pains:
    • Managing disparate compute resources and software licenses
    • Maintaining cost visibility and security across cloud workloads
  • title: R&D executive
    pains:
    • Slow product development cycles
    • Difficulty linking compute investment to research throughput

icp

  • text: Engineering-intensive enterprises in automotive, aerospace, manufacturing, semiconductors and life sciences with significant simulation workloads.
  • text: Research institutions and organizations needing flexible HPC capacity or modernization of existing infrastructure.

message pillars

  • text: Obtain compute capacity when workloads demand it.
  • text: Improve throughput and manage compute economics.
  • text: Automate complex engineering work.

objections

  • objection: Will cloud economics beat our existing cluster?
    response: Benchmark representative jobs and compare full cost, throughput, utilization and licensing before committing.
  • objection: Can we retain control over applications and sensitive work?
    response: Review the supported application catalog, security controls and deployment options against the organization's specific requirements.

competitors

  • name: Altair Engineering
    why: HPC workload management and simulation platform overlap; also an ecosystem partner.
