Dassault goes Cloud with Version 6

Dassault Systemes (3DS) has unveiled its new online Version 6 platform, open for the developer community, its new store, and its first online cloud business services. Dassault Systèmes also released its strategic investment in Outscale, a start-up providing next- generation SaaS (Software as a Service) operator services.

3DS provides the Version 6 open platform to run lifelike experiences, reveal smart information, enable social innovation, imagine with 3D, and structure companies' assets and operations to execute to perfection. The 3DS experience platform is powered by Version 6 technology, the foundation for all 3DS brands (CATIA, SolidWorks, SIMULIA, DELMIA, ENOVIA, 3DVIA, Exalead, 3DSWYM).

3DS announces its 3DStore online for lifelike experiences and applications. With Version 6 cloud-based solutions, users can get what they need, when they need it. Offered as a flexible subscription model, without upfront investments in additional infrastructure, long-term volume commitments or administrative burden, Version 6 Online solutions are designed to adapt to the needs of organizations or projects of any scale.

Dassault Systèmes announces its strategic investment in Outscale, a start-up providing next- generation SaaS operator services. Dassault Systèmes will rely on Outscale services to manage its SaaS services based operations. With Outscale, Dassault Systèmes dedicates a highly specialized world-class structure to ensure 24x7 service, and will leverage dynamic public cloud resources allocation to provide best availability of its online applications, globally. Adopting its own PLM core technology to manage multiple cloud physical locations provides a competitive advantage.
