The Problem
In many industries, including Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC), Manufacturing and Life Sciences, secure collaboration on 3D CAD models is imperative for accelerating project completion, but collaboration among people in geographically separated offices or with external project partners is difficult, creating project bottlenecks that inhibit productivity. IT leaders have attempted to solve this problem by adopting a variety of technologies such as legacy VDI solutions, VPNs for remote work, physical workstations connected over a WAN, and others. These technologies introduce a host of issues that not only negatively affect user productivity, but also increase IT cost and complexity:
- Lack of performance
- Unreliable user experience
- IP security concerns
- Data management problems
Collaboration across project teams in multiple locations is difficult and can hinder productivity.
The Solution
The Workspot Enterprise Desktop Cloud™ platform provides a holistic, simple approach that ensures high productivity for power users, and low cost and complexity for IT and the business.
- Blazing Fast Performance: We leverage Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud global regions to provision highly secure cloud workstations with minimal latency to ensure high performance for all your CAD and office productivity applications.
- Exceptional User Experience: Data can be co-located with compute within the cloud to ensure fast file read/write times, and fluid 3D CAD model creation. There is no data corruption or loss, even if your connection to the cloud workstation breaks.
- Highly Secure: Cloud workstations are not susceptible to theft, loss, malware. There is no data at any edge device or appliance, and our highly secure architecture ensures data encryption both in motion and at rest.
- Ease of Collaboration: Since all data is centrally located, CAD and BIM engineers can collaboratively work from a common data environment, minimizing errors and rework.
With Workspot, power users collaborate in a common data environment and enjoy exceptional performance.
