Why Access?

Easy-to-use HPC Portal

Give your engineers, scientists, and researchers natural access to high-performance computing (HPC) – no IT expertise needed – to run solvers, view progress, manage data, and use 3D remote visualization via web, desktop, or mobile.

Remote Visualization

View your job status from anywhere, on any device. Collaborate easily from multiple locations by viewing and editing application data without having to download large files.

Time and Resource Savings

Spend more time focused on core work and not IT tasks, with quick and easy job submission and management thanks to a powerful GUI with a smart, simple interface.

Key Benefits

Rapid Collaboration

Users can instantly collaborate on large volumes of data in the comfort of a familiar interactive application, anywhere and anytime. Remote colleagues can share session views and controls across WAN links.

User Experience

Users get a simple, powerful UX that's consistent across desktop, web, and mobile.

Optimized Resource Management

Integration with Altair® PBS Professional® allows optimized application provisioning on graphical and computing resources for maximum utilization.

Zero Data Movement

Only pixels are transferred, eliminating the prohibitive times associated with data transfer.

Resiliency

Access provides continuity of remote application sessions across network connectivity disruptions.

Open Architecture

Because Access is built on an open architecture, you can use third-party applications without needing additional software development.
