Challenge

Before adopting Vantage Compute, the organization was constrained by a mix of infrastructure, licensing, and workflow inefficiencies. Their rigid, non-virtualized infrastructure imposed high capital costs and lacked scalability, making it difficult to respond to dynamic R&D needs. Teams managed fragmented license pools, leading to underutilization in some departments and critical shortages in others—especially during high-demand periods. Attempts to adopt cloud infrastructure were met with cost-prohibitive usage patterns and data migration complexity, making full cloud adoption infeasible. Meanwhile, disjointed software stacks across departments slowed collaboration and increased the operational burden on IT. Compounding these issues, there was no centralized visibility into license usage, making it nearly impossible to optimize software spend or plan strategically.

Summary

A global automotive manufacturer faced mounting pressures in engineering simulation,AI/ML experimentation, and digital prototyping. Their legacy HPC environment—built on rigid infrastructure and fragmented licensing—was struggling to keep pace with modern R&D demands.With Vantage Compute, they transformed their approach to high-performance computing: enabling on-demand resource provisioning, centralized license visibility, and seamless hybrid orchestration. The result? Faster innovation, lower costs, and a scalable platform built for the future of software-defined engineering.

Platform as a service

Vantage Compute unifies on-premises and cloud resources into a cohesive, orchestrated platform. With declarative provisioning, cloud bursting capabilities, and centralized license management, engineers can run the right workloads on the right infrastructure—without worrying about where or how. The platform’s architecture is built to abstract hardware complexity, automate deployment, and intelligently allocate licenses and compute, ensuring that critical R&D workflows are never stalled due to resource constraint.

“What we’ve built with Vantage is more than a cloud extension—it’s a foundation for faster innovation. Engineers don’t wait on resources anymore, and we’re finally getting the most out of our software investments.”
