Full Technology Refresh• CAD specific computers cost $2000-$4000• Increase in server space• Build cloud “home”
How we solve issue… 100% new hardware and software, including upgrades with $0 capital investment.

Mobility• Multi-offices are also common• Autodesk does not like “cloud”• Moving large files over Internet slows performance
How we solve issue… Non-CAD users get VDI environment and CAD users get dedicated CAD specific machine.
Employees can now access their desktop from any device anywhere there’s an internet connection!

Disaster Recovery & Backup• Growing file sizes make primary and backup storage difficult• Multiple file versions stay on employee computers• All data is now centralized
How we solve issue… All data and applications are backed up in multiple data centers, and their employees are desktop independent with unlimited data storage.

Security• Who has admin passwords?• Employees have unrestricted access and server rooms unlocked
How we solve issue… All computers and servers reside in a redundant Enterprise Data Center with 24/7 physical monitoring, video surveillance, biometric access, layers of firewalls and no data reside on-site.

Green • Autodesk forces you to have updated technology• Servers and CAD station are energy hogs
How we solve issue… Thin Clients use a fraction of the electricity, and desktop refresh will happen every 6-8 years instead of 3-4 years.

Scalability • Project work load constantly changing• Expanding into new markets• Downsizing old markets
How we solve issue… Utility Model (pay per user), allowing business’s to scale up and down with no concern to the impact on their IT network.

1. Standard CompleteCloud• Normal business computer usage – 90% of usersThis setup is engineered using a VDI desktop with a VMware Hypervisor. Each user has a
dedicated VM running an individual copy of Windows 7 Enterprise, with dedicated memory and storage resources. Software and configuration may be individualized for the user to any extent.
2. Terminal CompleteCloud• Light users, single application users. Example Call CenterUsers are engineered desktops on a Microsoft RD Server, with all users on the customer’s terminal server having the same set of applications and sharing memory and storage resources at the Microsoft OS level with no hypervisor level separation.
3. Graphics CompleteCloud• High-end graphics and video producers. Example Engineers
with CADUsers are engineered on dedicated computer hardware with one-to-one dedicated Autodesk certified graphics cards. There is no virtualization or sharing of these compute nodes, which are resident on-site in the LAN closet.
All solutions can be deployed as a Desktop Thin Client, Laptop Thin Client, or use a customer provided access (current computer).
