Case Study
Volkswagen supports computer-aided engineering with a modern operating system
Volkswagen migrated its R&D engineers from UNIX to Red Hat Enterprise Linux for Workstations to support resource-intensive computer-aided engineering (CAE). The platform enables powerful processing, supports the latest GPUs, and simplifies security and maintenance. Standardizing on Red Hat improved third-party software compatibility and streamlined issue resolution with support from Red Hat Technical Account Managers. Over 1,000 engineers now use the platform for crash simulations, aerodynamics, and AI development. The move has enhanced performance, compliance, and collaboration while unifying tools across teams and vendors.
