About The Customer
LSIS is a Korean enterprise interested in building a universal high-performance computing (HPC) cloud-based CAE platform. The company had established an organization called C2 in 2015, with the mission to develop an effective and reliable system to support CAE and CAD. The objective was to create a system that their in-house engineers could use anytime, anywhere without any limitations. However, they faced challenges due to the high cost of building a private HPC platform and the need for a cloud platform that could effectively run CAE software like ANSYS, STAR-CCM+, and Abaqus.
The Challenge
LSIS, a Korean enterprise, was keen on building a universal high-performance computing (HPC) cloud-based CAE platform. The company had established an organization called C2 in 2015, with the mission to develop an effective and reliable system to support CAE and CAD. The objective was to create a system that their in-house engineers could use anytime, anywhere without any limitations. However, the cost of building a private HPC platform was over 5 million USD, which was prohibitively expensive. The high cost of constructing an HPC data center made it more sensible to transition to the public cloud. LSIS also faced the challenge of finding a cloud platform that could effectively run CAE software like ANSYS, STAR-CCM+, and Abaqus without requiring significant time and money to install the software on the infrastructure.
The Solution
LSIS found a solution in Rescale, a cloud HPC service company, which they were introduced to through a meeting with Amazon Web Services (AWS) in the first half of 2016. Rescale offers a variety of HPC services such as engineering design, scientific calculations, machine learning, and on-demand cloud HPC services that add scalability and security reliability in a cost-effective way. Rescale provides an on-demand, pay-per-use service for hardware and software. On the Rescale platform, CAE jobs can be run on a web-based GUI that requires only a few easy step-by-step clicks to complete. It can also handle pre-processing and post-processing in the cloud. Rescale supports a wide variety of software, allowing LSIS to choose the right software for their business requirements. They can also configure their hardware by utilizing data centers around the world, and use as many cores as they want.
