Japan: Toyo Tire selects HPE for HPC via GreenLake cloud offering

Japanese tire company Toyo Tire Corporation has selected Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) to deliver a high-performance computing (HPC) system via its GreenLake cloud offering.  It will be providing its seventh-generation HPC system, which is three times more powerful than its predecessor, as a service to Toyo Tire.

 “Toyo Tire continues to demonstrate innovation in tire engineering and development using high-performance computing,” said Hirokazu Mochizuki, senior vice president and managing director for HPE Japan. “We are pleased to collaborate with Toyo Tire and strengthen its digitized development with powerful HPE Cray performance delivered via HPE GreenLake cloud. The latest solution provides Toyo Tire an optimal level of performance, in a flexible environment, to support a new era of innovation, with speed and efficiency.”

 “As the automotive industry accelerates its digital transformation and increasingly moves towards simulation instead of prototyping and performance evaluation testing, automakers are increasingly requesting mathematical models of tires which is a faster, more cost-efficient and sustainable process,” said Tamotsu Mizutani, corporate officer and division general manager, technology development division of Toyo Tire.
