Decrease Time to Market and Increase Quality

Manufacturers face a very interesting dilemma.  In addition to working toward shortening  production cycles to optimize time to market, they must also ensure safety and quality, which requires them to conduct product analysis that can be time-consuming and complex. The Cisco high-performance computing (HPC) solution can help manufacturers improve time to market without compromising on quality analysis.

Cisco offers a broad portfolio of HPC solutions that deliver high speeds, low latencies, open standards, and high system availability, enabling customers to deploy the right infrastructure for their applications.

Key Challenges

The main challenges for the manufacturing industry are:

  • Increased competitiveness
  • Time to market
  • Quality and safety

Key Benefits

The main business benefits for the manufacturing industry are:

  • Shorter production schedules
  • Empower engineers to obtain deeper product insights
  • Greater ROI due to increased efficiency

Cisco HPC solutions enable customers to achieve market-leading performance for workloads of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Finite Element Analysis (FEA).  CFD is a set of numerical methods and algorithms to solve and analyze problems regarding fluid forces and FEA is a computational methodology involving applied forces, deformations, internal stresses, thermal expansions, and other physical properties.  For these two types of applications, customers using Cisco InfiniBand solutions have realized significant productivity gains.
