Real-time Collaboration and Anywhere Productivity for AEC Firms

Workspot Cloud Workstations on Deliver GPU Performance to Any Device

PERFORMANCE, PRODUCTIVITY
AND SECURITY ARE ESSENTIAL

Competition in the AEC industry is fierce, and companies need to innovate with new technology to stay on top. Solutions that enable employees to work from anywhere, while enhancing productivity, reducing project lead times, and protecting sensitive design information are top of mind. Project teams of power-users include engineering CAD groups and BIM teams, and until now, their productivity has been stymied by laborious collaboration and an inability to be productive outside the office. Inefficient collaboration and data synchronization can have an adverse effect on productivity, data integrity, expense and revenue. Multiple uploads, downloads and synchronization of large graphics-intensive datasets can cause project delays, data corruption and additional network costs. Workspot cloud workstations on Microsoft Azure address these challenges while also providing superior performance to even the most demanding power users.

GRAPHICS-INTENSIVE APPLICATIONS
POSE UNIQUE CHALLENGES

3D CAD/CAM.CAE and complex BIM applications require high-performance computing power to process graphics-intensive workloads, and project teams need to collaborate on shared 3D model datasets. AEC organizations either provide users with physical workstations or virtual desktops using traditional, on-premises VDI. However, each approach presents some major challenges:

    • Inefficient collaboration between users in multiple locations
    • Traditional VDI complexity prevents instant scalability, and untenable latency for remote users results in poor user experience and productivity
    • Engaging the best talent may require setting up costly branch offices
    • Data integrity and intellectual property can be at risk
    • Expensive hardware refresh cycles are required to access new technology
    • Resource-intensive management & maintenance of physical workstations

Project teams cannot afford to waste time waiting for a never-ending series of file and data uploads and downloads – which can often take hours – as they share large, graphics-intensive datasets. The cost of project delays is just too high. Keeping BIM users productive is critical for the success of all AEC firms. Every hour a team of BIM users waits for data to finish synchronizing can result in hundreds and thousands of dollars of wasted productivity. Engineers must have the ability to visit a project site, securely access applications and data, and collaborate in real-time with architects, BIM managers, and partners. And when inspiration strikes in the middle of the night, designers need to be productive from home on any device. Firms that seek a competitive advantage will need the finest available talent, no matter where people reside, without having to duplicate IT infrastructure in remote branch offices. Similarly, an agile organization will be able to securely and efficiently scale workstation resources to immediately onboard new employees and also accommodate contractors for temporary projects.

THE ANSWER IS WORKSPOT CLOUD WORKSTATIONS

Workspot cloud workstations support the productivity, security and agility requirements of AEC firms. Unlike outdated, legacy VDI solutions which take months to deploy and do not meet the needs of AEC power users, Workspot deploys high-performance GPU workstations in the cloud in minutes – not months. Because Workspot can place the workstation in the cloud region closest the user, latency is typically less than 25 ms, resulting in exceptional performance. The performance of graphics-intensive applications such as Autodesk Revit, AutoCAD, Navisworks and Adobe Premiere will astonish your power users, and when they can access their workstations from anywhere, using any device, and collaborate in real-time, everyone will be pleased with the productivity benefits.
