Weidlinger Associates, Inc<\/a>., the developer of PZFlex<\/a>, a 3D virtual-prototyping and wave-propagation analysis software, and CliQr Technologies<\/a> announced the launch of PZFlexCloud on CliQr\u2019s CloudCenter platform. PZFlexCloud extends the market reach and performance of PZFlex\u2019s engineering software by exploiting the power, elasticity, and ubiquity of the cloud. Running on HP Cloud Services<\/a>, HP\u2019s public cloud, PZFlexCloud is offered as a professional service as well as an additional feature of the full PZFlex solution suite.<\/p>\n

\u201cCloud computing\u2019s almost infinite on-demand resources, with its utility billing model, combined with our PZFlex finite element analysis [FEA] software as a service, is a game changer for the scientific and engineering communities,\u201d said Dr. Robert Banks, PZFlex director and senior associate at the Mountain View, California, office of global engineering firm Weidlinger Associates. \u201cPZFlexCloud represents a step change in the way high-fidelity FEA solutions can be accessed by a broad set of users, from large enterprises to innovative departments and individuals.\u201d<\/p>\n

By taking advantage of the power and elasticity of cloud computing, PZFlexCloud will permit experienced users to realize unprecedented performance and flexibility of use. An accurate multi-run 3D simulation for piezoelectric and wave propagation analysis that traditionally took 32 days was recently completed with the CliQr platform and PZFlexCloud in just 14 hours, allowing for more test iterations and shorter analysis times. PZFlexCloud also makes advanced FEA available to a broader market. With CliQr and PZFlexCloud, new users who have had to compromise on functionality can now use the PZFlex suite on a pay-as-you-go basis without the costs and complexities of building and maintaining capital-intensive physical computing resources.<\/p>\n

Dr. Banks added, \u201cPZFlexCloud eliminates the longstanding trade-offs between advanced speed, functionality, and approachable economics. Customers can get simplified access and high-performance use of the PZFlex solution without having to design, build, or maintain their own information-technology infrastructure.\u201d<\/p>\n

Contributing to PZFlexCloud\u2019s success, the CliQr Technologies CloudCenter platform simplifies the migration and runtime management of the PZFlex software suite without requiring any modification of the leading FEA software. With CliQr\u2019s CloudCenter, PZFlex was able to benchmark the price and performance of their application across all possible cloud environments and determine where their offering could deliver the best value for their customers. Running on HP Cloud Services, PZFlexCloud makes it easy, powerful, and secure to perform complex FEA on the cloud.<\/p>\n

\u201cCliQr shares Weidlinger\u2019s value and vision to make the most sophisticated cloud solutions approachable and manageable by the broadest user base,\u201d said Gaurav Manglik, CEO and co-founder of CliQr Technologies. \u201cCliQr understands that software vendors want to take advantage of the cloud while protecting the time and investments they have already made in their core offerings. CliQr provides a complete platform for businesses like Weidlinger and their PZFlex offering, looking for an integrated approach to commercially use the cloud and maintain the ability to flexibly adapt to future changes in the cloud-computing landscape.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cScientific and engineering communities are looking for ways to access 3D virtual-prototyping solutions without having to build and maintain their own physical infrastructure,\u201d said Dan Baigent, senior director, Business Development, Cloud Services, HP. \u201cRunning on HP Cloud Services, PZFlexCloud provides users with the ability to access PZFlex in the cloud in one click, which leads to much shorter analysis time at much lower cost.\u201d<\/p>\n
