The Rescale platform combines engineering and science software tools with high performance computing (HPC) to create a cloud simulation environment. Design Engineering magazine describes Rescale as "...a good fit for manufacturers who need to run complex simulation and optimization jobs, but don't have the HPC hardware required."[9]

The Platform noted in May, 2015 that Rescale claims the largest known globally available commercial HPC network with "...eight million servers globally with a potential 1,400 petaflops of compute capacity ... across 30 global datacenters."[10]

Rescale has partnerships with engineering software companies in the computer aided engineering space including: ANSYS, AutoForm,[11] Siemens Digital Industries Software,[12] Dassault Systemes[13] and MSC Software.[14]
