CAD rendering in the Cloud

At entrustIT, we have worked with architects and designers for many years, helping them to move their business into the cloud. However, because architects and designers rely on graphically intensive CAD software and because traditional cloud desktops do not have the power to run this sosftware, there was a real barrier to the cloud.

That is why when an advancement in technology allowed the virtualisation of high-performance graphics cards into cloud server environments, we were quick to adopt the technology and develop our own 3D Desktop, specifically designed for architects and designers.

What is 3D Design Desktop?

A 3D Hosted Desktop is your Windows desktop, but not tied to a single PC or laptop. It gets placed in the cloud. Instead, the 3D Design Desktop supports modern CAD software like Autocad, Articad, SketchUp and others – unlike our standard Hosted Desktop products – enabling full design and modelling from the cloud.

Once your desktop is in the “cloud” you can access it from ANY device and from ANYWHERE and at ANY TIME. All you need is an internet connection. The same applications and files, looking and acting the same as before but no longer tied to your office, or your home PC. Complete mobility.

What are the benefits of 3D Design Desktop?

For the first time, architects and designers can work entirely in the cloud. Those that rely on CAD software and real-time 3D modelling for their business can finally share the benefits of the cloud.
