Dassault Systèmes V6 is a single, open and scalable platform that enables users to easily collaborate and innovate globally throughout the product design and development process, and bring better-designed products to market faster.

The flexible remote-access capabilities of HP Blade Workstation Solution are optimal for Dassault Systèmes V6, targeting users that create, consume and remix Intellectual Property (IP) from anywhere in the world.

HP and Dassault Systèmes have a history of working together to provide clients the technology they need to successfully develop and bring leading products to market, said Barbara Tabb, director, Global Alliance Program Operations, Dassault Systèmes. With the enhanced security and real-time interactive access enabled by HP Blade Workstation Solution and the ability of V6 to create an immersive, lifelike 3D environment for product development, organizations can collaborate at any phase in the development lifecycle, no matter where they are located.

These offerings have been tested, optimized and certified in the HP-DS PLM Competency Center to assure robust, high-performance IT infrastructure solutions that support the Dassault Systèmes V6 platform.

HPs client virtualization and remote access expertise, combined with our deep industry partnerships, deliver a new and more flexible working environment for the PLM 2.0 market, said Jeff Groudan, vice president, Desktop Solutions Marketing, Personal Systems Group, HP.
