UberCloud

The UberCloud Engineering Simulation Platform is a cloud-based solution that aims to enhance productivity by enabling engineers to run high-performance computing (HPC) simulations. According to the vendor, this platform is designed for small to large enterprises in industries such as engineering, manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, and energy.

Key Features

Desktop GUI with HD 3D Graphics: The UberCloud Engineering Simulation Platform provides engineers with a desktop graphical user interface (GUI) that offers high-definition 3D graphics. According to the vendor, this allows users to run simulations using the native GUI of their preferred simulation software without any loss of features compared to using the software on a local workstation. Additionally, the platform offers GPU-enhanced remote 3D graphics for a visually appealing and smooth user experience.

Container-Based: Leveraging container technology, the platform creates scalable and automated simulation environments. It is said to support thousands of CPU cores and hundreds of GPUs for high-performance computing. According to the vendor, engineers can run simulations on various cloud platforms, including AWS, Azure, Google, and HPE, as well as on-premise private clouds, with fully automated orchestration using Kubernetes or Docker.

Runs in Your Own Cloud Account: The UberCloud Engineering Simulation Platform operates within the user's own cloud account, with a focus on data security and control. According to the vendor, this approach leverages the security capabilities of cloud providers like AWS, Azure, Google, and HPE, while allowing IT teams to maintain full visibility and control over the cloud resources. Additionally, users can assemble the optimal configuration of cloud CPU/GPUs for their simulations.

Agile, secure, automated, self-service, cost-efficient, user-friendly: According to the vendor, the platform provides an agile and flexible solution for engineers to access high-performance computing resources. It is said to offer automated and self-service capabilities for easy scalability and resource management. The vendor claims that by leveraging on-demand hardware, the platform optimizes overall cost-per-simulation, providing a cost-efficient solution. With a fully interactive and intuitive graphical interface, extensive training is unnecessary, making it user-friendly.

Unique HPC software container images: The UberCloud Engineering Simulation Platform offers unique HPC software container images specifically enhanced for engineering and scientific applications. According to the vendor, these container images come pre-installed, configured, and tested, ensuring compatibility and ease of use. They include all the necessary HPC and CAE tools, such as MPI and remote visualization, for seamless simulation workflows. Moreover, the vendor states that these container images can be executed on various cloud environments, including public, private, and hybrid clouds, as well as on-premises infrastructure. They support both Linux and Windows clients, catering to a wide range of user preferences and requirements.
