OnScale is the first Cloud Engineering Simulation platform. OnScale combines powerful multiphysics solver technology with the limitless compute power of cloud supercomputers. With OnScale, engineers can run massive numbers of full 3D multiphysics simulations in parallel to create true Digital Prototypes – digital representations of physical high-tech devices that capture the complete behavior of a device over its operating envelope. By shifting expensive and time-consuming physical prototyping to digital prototyping, OnScale massively reduces cost, risk, and time-to-market for R&D firms pushing the boundaries of new technology. OnScale is the Future of Engineering. Visit www.OnScale.com to try out the platform today.

Arkin is transforming security and operations for the Software Defined Data Center (SDDC). Enterprises today face tremendous challenges in migrating from a legacy, perimeter based security model to more modern, distributed, application-centric approaches. Additionally, technologies such as converged infrastructure and software-defined architectures are introducing additional layers of complexity. With a Google Search-like experience, the Arkin platform is an industry first converged visibility and security operations platform, purpose-built for SDDC. Several F500/G2000 organizations have deployed the Arkin solution to get deep visibility across virtual and physical, implement newer security models such as micro-segmentation, and ensure application uptime, while collaborating better.

Neura has successfully curated an extensive real time global data network comprising of mobile phone sensory signals enhanced by vehicle data to empower decision makers.
By using advanced machine learning algorithms Neura transforms vast amounts of raw data into insights powerful enough to solve extremely difficult problems for private business and government organizations.
Neura merges anonymous and aggregated mobility intelligence with industry specific data sets to formulate vertical specific solutions.
Mobility patterns are changing rapidly, traditional survey data is not sufficient. Decision makers need accurate, real -time human behavior data to make impactful strategic decisions.
In Public Health Neura was able to fuse epidemiological data with mobility patterns in order to map and predict the spread of COVID-19, shining a light on transmission to an invisible disease.
Within the Mobility space, Neura analyses movement, and overlays persona insights, providing not only demand metrics but also what type of solutions are required based on commuter type and trip purpose.
Similarly, the urban intelligence Neura provides, unlike traditional survey companies, looks at large-scale, real-time mobility patterns, and point-of-interest intent, allowing recommendations for types of services and solutions needed.
When analyzing travel and retail, where traditional predictive analytics have shown metric such as, where travelers are going, or buying shopper trends, Neura takes this one step further: We add the type of place and persona of a traveler or consumer, giving brands never before seen insights into lifestyle and buying preferences of a traveler or shopper.
For the first time in history we have the technology, data and desire to make small behavioral changes that will have a huge impact on sustainable mobility and urban planning for all of us to live better lives.
With Neura, we can make that happen!
