Cloud Engineering Simulation firm OnScale has announced plans to offer free cloud core-hours to customers to promote customer safety and mitigate any productivity loss due to office shutdowns.

OnScale has already officially closed its global offices to protect the health and safety of OnScale employees.

“As a cloud company, OnScale’s staff can stay incredibly productive while working remotely,” says Ian Campbell, CEO of OnScale. “However, we understand that many of our customers are still tied to local, on-premise computing for their OnScale engineering simulation needs. In order to help protect the safety of our customers, we are offering free and full access to our OnScale Cloud Simulation platform to our existing customers so that engineers working from home or remotely can continue to be productive in advancing R&D priorities”.

To this aim, all planned physical events and activities such as technical support, workshops, seminars, presentations, business meetings, and training classes will be executed remotely as scheduled and without any disruption.

OnScale said that the company will offer free cloud core-hours to its customers who are currently working from home because of the coronavirus outbreak and don’t have access to their hardware and the OnScale engineering simulation platform.

Customers can reach out to [email protected] with any questions about accessing OnScale and using free core-hours from home while working remotely during the outbreak.
