Rescale,
the leader in enterprise big compute in the cloud, today announced that
Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. selected Rescale and AWS to extend its fixed
on-premise high performance computing (HPC) systems to the cloud.
Nissan sought a solution to support its massive simulation needs
requiring unlimited computing capabilities. With Rescale and AWS, Nissan
changed to a fully integrated production hybrid environment in the cloud
to deliver its high-quality products on time. The automaker is
transforming HPC in automotive with its in-production use in the cloud
to increase its innovation and engineering capabilities.
“Automotive companies are under pressure to remain flexible and agile as
innovations impact and disrupt the market,” said Joris Poort, CEO,
Rescale. “Leading companies need to dynamically access computing
resources to match their increasing simulation requirements in order to
test and launch new products. Rescale is transforming how today’s
leading enterprises innovate and deploy their digital transformation
strategy. It is exciting to see that our hybrid platform on AWS will
help Nissan immediately reduce time to market for their newest
innovations, while getting access to unlimited computing resources on
demand.”
Nissan experienced an immediate positive impact upon implementing
Rescale’s platform on AWS, integrated by ISID. In less than three
months, the global organization was in a fully integrated production
hybrid environment with the ability to run hundreds of jobs using
thousands of CPU cores per hour in the cloud to support their massive
simulation needs to deliver high-quality products on time. In addition,
their development productivity increased because their engineers were no
longer waiting for resources to become available, and because Rescale’s
platform continuously offered the latest computing technology.
“The challenges we faced at Nissan revolved around managing our in-house
HPC system alongside keeping up with the latest technology innovations
needed to meet market demands,” said Seiji Kawachiya, General Manager of
Engineering and Quality System Department, Nissan. “We selected the
Rescale ScaleX® platform running on AWS because it enables a
smooth transition into a cloud environment, resulting in Nissan being
able to run hundreds of simulations with on-demand agility and
flexibility, without exhausting capacity, to accelerate innovation.”
Nissan was also able to achieve these performance enhancements with an
improved cost compared to their previous on-premise computing systems.
Nissan chose Rescale for their journey to the cloud for their overall
HPC system because of the cloud expertise, improved total cost of
computing, and hybrid model approach. The hybrid approach will allow for
an overall smoother transition from an on-premise HPC environment to a
cloud HPC environment.
