Altair, a global technology company providing solutions in simulation, high-performance computing (HPC), and artificial intelligence (AI), is introducing a host of new features and functionality in Altair One, a fully integrated platform that brings together the company’s entire product suite and HPC capabilities.
Eliminating the boundaries between computer-aided engineering (CAE) and data analytics, Altair One delivers access to a unified development environment and offers multi-disciplinary teams the on-demand HPC critical to complete complex projects quickly and efficiently.
“Altair One provides a modern, single pane of glass approach to leverage HPC and cloud resources for running computational science applications anywhere and everywhere at scale, which is key to optimizing outcomes and achieving faster time-to-value,” said James R. Scapa, founder and chief executive officer, Altair. “With the launch of Altair One, we are empowering our customers with all the software and tools to seamlessly manage hybrid on-premises and cloud HPC resources to process workloads in the most cost-efficient and fastest way possible.”
The instant availability of Altair's HPC resources means that designers, engineers, and data scientists can run their complex projects without any need for the support of in-house HPC infrastructures.
Altair One offers the ability to provision turnkey, scalable appliance clusters across all major cloud providers including Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, and Google Cloud Platform in just a few mouse clicks.
The launch of Altair One establishes a robust roadmap of progressive development in features and functionality. By providing organizations the flexibility to seamlessly migrate workloads between cloud providers and on-premises environments, Altair One empowers teams to pivot quickly and embrace new technology while avoiding vendor lock-in.
Altair One is a single portal for Altair's products, accessible anywhere via standard workstations, PCs, laptops, and mobile devices. Users also have access to exclusive Altair One tools including:
- Altair DesignAI- Combines physics-based simulation-driven design and machine learning-based AI-driven design to create high-potential designs earlier in development cycles
- Altair Material Data Center - A multi-domain material properties repository to help create sustainable, efficient, minimum-weight designs
Altair One facilitates a truly data-driven approach to product development. Designers, IT specialists, and the C-suite can build deeper insight and reach better decisions faster with Altair's AI and machine learning (ML) enabled data analytics and data management tools.
Diverse teams can work on the same models, with ubiquitous access ensuring effortless knowledge sharing and data transfer. The full value of both current and historic simulation and analysis is therefore realized.
Altair One provides simple HPC access portals for end-users and intuitive management portals for IT administrators.
Powered by Altair PBS Works, Altair One leverages the same workload management technology used by many of the world's Top 500 HPC systems and foremost supercomputing centers.
Altair One does not require additional capital expenditures on complex IT and can scale immediately in response to peaks in workload.
Flexibility is further enhanced by Altair Units, Altair's patented, subscription-based licensing model that allows organizations to pay only for what their employees need, when they need it.
Additional notable features in Altair One include the ability to:
- Launch applications in the cloud instantly with zero download
- Run complex HPC solver jobs in the cloud within a simple, intuitive user experience
- Provision turnkey, scalable appliance clusters in just a few mouse clicks
- Securely upload, access, store, and manage data using the Altair One drive
