Huawei and ESI Sign a Memorandum of Understanding
to Foster Innovative HPC Solutions to
Accelerate Industrial Manufacturing
Paris, France - September 8, 2016 - ESI Group, leading innovator in Virtual
Prototyping software and services for manufacturing industries worldwide, signed
a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Huawei, a leading global information
and communications technology (ICT) solutions provider. The signature ceremony
took place during the event HUAWEI CONNECT 2016 in Shanghai, China on September
1, 2016. The two parties will collaborate on High-Performance Computing (HPC)
and cloud computing to provide innovative industrial manufacturing solutions for
customers in China and worldwide. They also jointly released a white paper on
the Huawei HPC platform-based ESI Virtual Performance Solution (VPS), a leading
software solution used by industrial OEMs and their suppliers in order to test
virtually all aspects of their product performance, including crash and safety.
Often demanding large simulation models to achieve high levels of precision and
predictive capabilities, VPS users greatly benefit from Huawei's robust and
efficient IT platforms, and the work done by Huawei and ESI to optimize the way
their products work together.

Also a focus at HUAWEI CONNECT 2016 and important to the collaboration between
Huawei and ESI, ESI's virtual reality solution, IC.IDO, enables the Huawei HPC
platform to provide customers with digital equipment room layouts that are of a
1:1 proportion to those of the physical environments. Leveraging the virtual
reality technology, designers can keep improving virtual prototypes during
product R&D to reduce the need for physical prototypes, which results in a
dramatic reduction in design costs and shorter product development cycles.
The MoU signed by the two parties includes multiple cooperation plans. One is to
build a joint innovation center in Munich, Germany to enable the two parties to
validate innovative cloud computing and HPC solutions based on ESI's industrial
simulation test applications and Huawei's leading IT products and platforms.
Another is to build a global experience center in Hangzhou, China that will
allow customers to experience the latest products and service training sessions.
The two parties also agreed to initiate a series of cooperation projects
worldwide to jointly promote and deliver innovative cloud computing, HPC product
R&D, simulation, and data analytics solutions. All these cooperative efforts
will provide global customers with innovative R&D technologies to help them
address challenges brought by the ongoing exponential growth of ICT technology.

Commenting at the MoU signing ceremony, Zheng Yelai, President, Huawei IT
Product Line, said: "The ongoing digital transformation of industrial
manufacturing demands enterprise-level IT solutions that are more intelligent,
efficient, and convenient, especially in the HPC domain. Upholding the core
values of openness, cooperation, and win-win, Huawei consolidates resources and
capabilities of all its industrial partners to provide more powerful industrial
manufacturing solutions for customers to help them succeed."

Christopher St. John, ESI COO, said: "ESI is delighted to have built an
important partnership with Huawei over the past year, started as we collaborated
to meet the HPC needs of a mutual customer in China. Initiated in China, where
we have served international and domestic customers since 2004, we have been
excited to discover a new global business partner with an aligned understanding
of how enterprises of all scales can benefit from the virtualization of their
product development processes. Teaming up to define and deliver public and
private cloud based platforms for collaborative virtual prototyping, big data
analytics, machine learning and more, we are together able to address the
diverse needs and ambitions of our customers. Importantly we have the same sense
of urgency and commitment to innovation."
