Lower Product Development Costs
Utilize Amazon Web Services (AWS) as you need it, when you need it. Eliminate the need to manage and refresh hardware deployments
“Having the software already installed on Rescale including various versions I need saves me a lot of time. And being able to optimize the software to run on specific hardware helps to reach my job results as much as 10x faster.”
Lindsey Gilman, Exponent
“In some ways, the time we saved was infinite, we are doing simulations that we could not do before. For aerodynamics specifically, our engineers have reached a level of performance that teams in other fields have not yet achieved. And just by unblocking a computer, we’re able to run several cases in parallel.”
Federico Lluesma, Zeleros
“The ability to experiment and to create something that may not work initially, but to be able to try again until we get it right without enormous cost consequences is an enormous benefit for us. Using Rescale on AWS makes it so much easier for us to test and fail, test and fail, and eventually succeed to build a robust solution. It’s liberating.”
Mike Gahan, Metabiota
“Rescale is a Gamechanger. Now we can take on more and larger client projects and don’t have to make compromises to meet client demands.”
Zachary Owens, Exponent
“Today, we can focus more of our time on building robust models and allow Rescale to use a cluster of AWS Instances to scale our production up to tens of millions of simulations. One of the biggest advantages we have in our market is our speed and the agile methods we use. As an organization focused on optimizing the user experience, we’re able to be more client-focused and modify our methods in order to suit our clients’ timelines better. That’s where our compute power is critical. We wouldn’t have been able to create multiple solutions as quickly as we did without high performance computing.”
Kierste Miller, Metabiota

Rescale on AWS Platform Overview
High Performance Computing (HPC) used to start from hardware selection, followed by software tuning, with a focus on high utilization. Today HPC leaders can start from the software, running each on specialized architecture to meet cost & performance objectives. To accomplish this, organizations need to securely automate hybrid and cloud operations with intelligent policy based controls.
