June 2020 Summaries

Rescale is revolutionizing high-performance computing (HPC) by enhancing cloud-based simulation platforms to accelerate scientific and engineering innovation, which is vital for addressing global challenges like pandemics and climate change. Despite the significant role HPC plays in product development, only a fraction of its workloads are currently cloud-based, compared to general enterprise workloads. Rescale addresses the challenge of transforming raw cloud HPC infrastructure into practical tools for engineers and has launched Rescale Insight to bridge the gap between engineering teams and enterprise IT. This platform provides data-driven management and transparency, allowing organizations to optimize resources while maintaining security and efficiency. Additionally, Rescale has introduced an AI engine that matches simulation workloads with the optimal architecture from a multi-cloud infrastructure, offering engineers the best options from AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud Platform without altering workflows. By facilitating better collaboration between IT and engineering, Rescale aims to drive product innovation and scientific breakthroughs.

Enterprises are leveraging cloud-based simulations to enhance the scalability and performance of new product innovations, but face challenges in maintaining control over architecture, finances, and security as they scale. Rescale addresses these challenges with Rescale Insight, a suite of business management features designed for high-performance computing (HPC) operations. Rescale Insight empowers technology and business leaders by providing financial transparency, security compliance, software and licensing optimization, infrastructure architecture management, and multi-team collaboration capabilities. The platform offers detailed billing summaries, budgetary controls, and economic visibility through its Economics Dashboard, while ensuring security with controls such as Single Sign-On, Multi-Factor Authentication, and compliance with standards like FedRAMP and ITAR. It aids in the management of complex software portfolios and licenses, optimizing utilization and reducing queue times, while also offering control over a wide array of cloud architectures to ensure cost-effective performance for engineering workloads. Rescale Insight also facilitates team management by allowing for delegated administration and project management within enterprise-wide policies, thereby supporting seamless collaboration and global visibility across organizational structures.

Rescale Inc. has launched Rescale Insight, a comprehensive business management solution for high-performance computing (HPC) that provides financial, security, and architectural controls to CxOs. As HPC expenses grow rapidly, Rescale Insight aims to manage these costs effectively without hindering R&D, offering analytics on software license usage and hardware performance. Built on a fully managed HPC platform, it features a serverless architecture ensuring customers only pay for their usage, and an AI-driven recommendation engine for optimal price/performance architecture matching. This tool offers unprecedented transparency and control, enabling efficient resource use while ensuring compliance with enterprise-wide IT policies. Rescale Insight has already been adopted by companies like Aerion Supersonic and Bionano Genomics, highlighting its utility in managing cloud-based HPC resources securely and effectively. Rescale's multi-cloud platform supports a hybrid approach and integrates an AI engine to align business needs with the best cloud infrastructure, facilitating innovation without adding complexity.
