Scalable and dedicated HPC environments
The number of necessary computing procedures is subject to significant – and sometimes spontaneous – fluctuations, which is why demands on computing resources are difficult to plan. To cope with internal HPC server peak loads Brose chose the provider CPU 24/7. Internal computing capacities are expanded by external resources in Germany that are available for computational engineers for more than one year.
CPU 24/7 offers Brose access to a scalable, customized HPC simulation environment for the calculation of different CAE tasks, as for example crash simulations of seat structures and latch systems. This dedicated and preconfigured (“ready-to-use”) CAEaaS infrastructure can be used in different locations. The security required is ensured by protocols with basic encryption and a VPN tunnel with an additional firewall. Furthermore, individual security and servicelevel-agreements were compiled.
Advantages of this solution
- Flexible access to scalable, customized bare metal HPC resources which are hosted in Germany
- First level support by HPC and CAE specialists with clearly defined reaction and response times and monthly reporting
- Predictable billing for the department
