Our client is a leading the commercial space station developer that needed to modernize traditional workstation-based infrastructure to support faster, more secure, and more compliant engineering and research workloads.
A leading aerospace and space technology organization sought to modernize its engineering simulation environment by migrating from a traditional on-premises tower-based HPC infrastructure running Ansys workloads to a secure, scalable cloud-native platform.
The organization relied on high-performance simulation applications including:
Ansys Thermal
Dynamics
Ansys Premium
SIwave Plus
Ansys CFD
(Computational Fluid Dynamics)
Ansys Mechanical
Enterprise
To improve scalability, reduce infrastructure constraints, accelerate simulation turnaround times, and support stringent government compliance requirements, Relevance Lab designed and implemented a secure AWS Research and Engineering Studio (RES) environment within AWS GovCloud.
The solution enabled engineers to seamlessly access cloud-based virtual workstations, elastically scale HPC resources on demand, and continue leveraging existing engineering workflows without disrupting ongoing research and development programs.
Customer Challenges
The customer's existing engineering environment faced several operational and technical limitations:
Solution
Relevance Lab implemented a private deployment of AWS Research & Engineering Studio (RES) in AWS GovCloud, integrated with enterprise identity services and high-performance storage.
The solution provided:
Impact
- Faster Onboarding: Reduced time to productivity for engineering and research teams.
- Improved Productivity: Gave scientists and designers consistent, ready-to-use environments.
- Stronger Compliance Posture: Aligned the environment with enterprise and regulatory requirements.
- Eliminated Workstation Bottlenecks: Reduced dependence on physical infrastructure.
- Scalable Foundation: Established a base to support future HPC and AI workloads.
