ANSYS – Strategic Partnership

HP – a first partner for distributed ANSYS. ANSYS was the first software vendor to sign the agreement to use HP-MPI in its LINUX based products to run on industry-standard servers.

The Partnership has been for more than a decade, is one of the best in the business.

“One of the top reasons that we went with HP-MPI is that we've had a great working relationship with HP. It was a win-win for ANSYS, HP and our customers - in terms of cost, interconnects, support and performance compared to other message passing interfaces for LINUX and UNIX. In addition I've always had great turnaround from HP in response to hardware and software issues.”

Lisa Fordanich, ANSYS Senior Systems Specialist

Out-Compete

Conclusion: “ for US manufacturers to out-compete, they must out-compute.”
