Nutanix, a leader in enterprise cloud computing, today announced that Aspen Technology, Inc., a leading software supplier for optimizing asset performance, has certified Nutanix Frame to enable its customers to access its latest aspenONE Engineering software
anytime and anywhere. The solution helps AspenTech's customers deploy
new software versions faster and at scale, minimizing IT overhead and
improving user collaboration.
Technology
companies increasingly require solutions that enable customers to
efficiently adopt new products and cloud solutions as part of a
digitalization strategy to drive their businesses forward. As enterprises increasingly
shift to cloud-first business strategies, the ones who fall behind run
the risk of being overshadowed by competitors. AspenTech saw the value
in a product that would help its customers across many verticals -
including oil and gas, chemical, pharmaceutical, engineering and
construction - keep pace with digital transformation and push their
cloud strategies forward.
AspenTech's
software allows companies in capital-intensive industries to better
design, operate and maintain their complex manufacturing environments.
Its market-leading software helps the world's largest energy, chemical
and engineering companies understand and solve inefficiencies in their
operations so they can improve safety, reduce waste and environmental
impact, and grow their business.
To
test the suitability of Frame for its applications, AspenTech hosted a
six-month pilot program with six of its top customers. After a
successful trial, AspenTech chose to certify Frame as a supported
platform to support customers' implementation of aspenONE Engineering
software from the cloud with minimal overhead.
Frame
also enables customers to work together in new ways that were not
always possible with previous versions of AspenTech solutions. With
Frame, multiple users can collaborate better globally on the same
engineering designs at the same time, using any device running an HTML5
capable web browser. Moreover, Frame integrates with cloud storage
services, including Nutanix Files, to enable scalable and secure file
services to an organization's end-users.
"Frame
offers a wide variety of deployment options, and it's a great fit for
aspenOne Engineering because it's cloud-agnostic and includes services
to configure and support the cloud environment," said Simon Lingard,
Senior Director of Product Management at AspenTech. "The product enables
our customers to roll out our applications in the cloud quickly. Now,
deployment is much easier and it can be done centrally. The capabilities
of Frame have provided a foundation for further cloud delivery
innovation at AspenTech."
"When
we collaborate with companies like AspenTech, we enable customers
across many verticals to increase efficiency, collaboration and meet the
ever-increasing expectations of their users," said Nikola Bozinovic, VP
and GM of End-User Computing at Nutanix. "We look forward to continuing
to drive strategic cloud initiatives for our customers and to offer new
ways for end-users to consume software solutions anywhere and on any
device."
