Aerospace Firm Speeds Analysis Time from Months to Days with High-Performance Solution
Aerospace engineering firm a.i. solutions, Inc., needed a more powerful computing platform to keep up with the increasingly complex computational needs of its customers. To meet that need, it adopted Windows® HPC Server 2008. Now a.i. solutions can run analysis cycles up to eight times faster, which enables it to run more cycles in less time and reach insights faster. The software was deployed within hours and required no retraining of users.
a.i. solutions, an aerospace engineering firm based in Lanham, Maryland, provides aerospace engineering services; business-critical IT services; and commercial, off-the shelf software for space mission analysis.
Business Situation
a.i. solutions existing processes did not allow for increasing demands placed on their systems by their customers. The company needed a solution that could process large amounts of data in days rather than the weeks it was taking.
Solution
a.i. solutions deployed Windows HPC Server 2008, with the first cluster being deployed in three hours using the just the information available on the Microsoft website.
Benefit
No additional development needed to run the FreeFlyer software
Simulations are running 8 times faster, allowing for more and more complex simulations to be run.
Software
Microsoft Windows HPC Server 2008
