Overview

Redefining HPC as SaaS on AWS

Simerics is a leader in advanced computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation software. Industry giants including Boeing, Mercedes, Rolls Royce, Bosch, and GE trust Simerics to power mission-critical simulations that enable engineering breakthroughs using AWS High-Performance Computing.

The legacy Simerics Desktop application required their customers to run simulation software on-premises, which involves six-figure investments in HPC infrastructure, long setup cycles, and specialized on-premises infrastructure expertise. Simerics had the ambitious vision of customers running simulations right from their laptop, on any browser. After failed attempts with other veteran AWS partners, they were introduced to AppEvolve.

AppEvolve has built SaaS applications exclusively on AWS for the past 9 years and has established themselves as a go-to SaaS development partner within the AWS ecosystem. Simerics partnered with AppEvolve to do what others couldn't; SaaSify their flagship simulation software on AWS, creating an on-demand, enterprise-grade, high-performance computing (HPC) solution that spins up in minutes instead of months, delivering the scalability, speed, and flexibility only AWS can provide.
