IT Solutions / Facilities Management


Optimising the computing performance for simulation and analysis software requires a multidisciplinary approach to systems engineering. Processor balancing, memory management and high speed networking are just some of the skills we deploy in enabling our customers complete their projects quickly and efficiently by getting more from their computing resources. The same skills are now available for IT facilities management through AC&E's team.


Systems and Software Optimisation

The ability to handle ever larger problems, meet faster turnaround times and work with increasingly large CAD files, means there is a continual requirement to optimise computer resources. AC&E's optimisation services include:

  • Installation and training
  • System tuning
  • System support
  • System upgrades
  • Licence usage audit
  • System networking
  • Consultancy services
  • Facilities Management (FM)

Linux Clustering - To handle ever larger problems, customers may wish to migrate to a Linux cluster as part of their network and often working from within a ‘Windows’ environment. Linux clusters are a cost-effective way of handling large scale FEA and CFD simulations, and other parallel processing applications. We specialize in assisting companies migrate their systems from UNIX to Linux clusters and optimize performance. For more details download the High Performance Computing Clusters PDF.


Facilities Management

Many customers do not require a full FM capability, often preferring to select one or more of these specialist IT support services to complement those provided by their in-house IT team whose main focus may be well away from this specialist area of IT.

AC&E offers most aspects of FM for its customers, including:

  • Managing IT resources (remotely, if required)
  • Offer ‘hot swaps’ for key equipment
  • Provide full maintenance and support contracts
  • Provide additional/rental equipment
  • Provide backup resources/archiving
  • Training and on-site technical support
