Engineering Visualization

3

Is a method of representing large amounts of complex data in ways that are easier

to understand, analyze and enables better decision making.

Think about an object that attaches one or more other objects via an inclined plane, wrapped helically around an axis.

Wouldn’t a picture of a screw be easier to understand?

Humans perceive visual patterns


Challenges Enterprises Face Today

Product and design data reside on users workstations, making it

difficult to secure and share with others in real time.

Extensive file sharing and data synchronization across numerous

design centers no longer sufficient to support real time global design

efforts.

Accessing designs on factory floors or in the field to make a simple

edit or analyze a change in real time is challenging.

Sharing product and design data with partners and suppliers comes

with increased risk of IP theft.

datacenter with granular access policies

Essential Solution Components


IBM NeXtScale

2X density for the space constrained

datacenters

3X more cores for more VMs per server

and for greater consolidation, which translates

into lower server acquisition costs, operational

costs, power costs and data center floor space

40% less weight per system for ease of

delivery and installation

75% faster from arrival to production

readiness when ordered through intelligent cluster

Simple architecture without vanity that

provides compute, storage, GPUs/Phi all in a

single platform

The NeXtScale system delivers the highest density, maximum performance, and extreme flexibility for the Technical Computing, Grid Computing, and Cloud Computing workloads

NeXtScale – Superior architecture for Scale-out computing

Intel Xeon E5-2600 v2 product family - up to 24 cores of processing capability and 256GB of memory per server

Chassis based design for shared power and cooling

One architecture for your compute, storage, and GPUs/Phi workloads

Uses industry standard Top of Rack Networking (InfiniBand and/or 1/10/40Gb Eth)


Citrix - HDX 3D Pro

Scalable GPU-accelerated rendering

o High performance GPU sharing for OpenGL,

OpenCL, DirectX and CUDA

o Direct access to NVIDIA video driver and

hardware

o Cost-effective multi-user Windows Server

2008R2/2012 RDSH or VDI platform
