Cost Effective and Scalable IT
• Scale up of HPC
• Efficient centralized
infrastructure (cloud)
• Collaboration hubs with
remote, secure, and scalable
data access
• Support for platforms
(mobile)

Value Proposition: EKM
• Simulation Driven Product
Development
– Produces exponential
growth of data with
decreasing cost of
simulations
– Demands better IP
management
• EKM enables:
– Collaboration
– Data/Knowledge
Management
– NOT possible with traditional
