Rescale is a cloud software and services company focused on high performance computing, engineering data, and AI for digital R&D. Its platform brings together cloud HPC orchestration, intelligent data management, AI-driven modeling support, and governance controls so engineering and scientific teams can run complex simulation and computational workflows without stitching together fragmented infrastructure.
Rescale positions its offering as a built-for-the-cloud digital engineering platform for organizations that need faster iteration, broader design exploration, and tighter operational control. Across cloud and hybrid environments, it supports large-scale modeling and simulation, interactive engineering workflows, data traceability, and applied AI methods that help turn historical simulation output into reusable knowledge and production-ready models.
Offerings, Capabilities, and Integrations
Rescale combines compute orchestration, software lifecycle automation, engineering data capture, and applied AI in a single operating environment for digital engineering. Its capabilities span large-scale batch workloads, design of experiments, multi-physics workflows, interactive visualization, workflow automation, and AI-assisted analysis, while giving IT teams centralized control over access, policy, spend, and performance.
The platform is designed for hybrid and multi-cloud deployment and supports automated matching of workloads to specialized CPU and GPU infrastructure. Rescale also emphasizes extensibility, with integrations across engineering applications, PLM and SPDM environments, cloud storage, and workflow systems, plus APIs and integration services that help customers connect existing tools into production R&D processes.
