GPU-accelerated cloud workstations and private cloud infrastructure for engineering firms
Engineering Firms

Cloud Infrastructure Built for Heavy Models.

GPU-accelerated virtual workstations and dedicated private cloud for civil, structural, MEP, mechanical and consulting engineering firms across New Jersey, New York and Connecticut. Revit, Civil 3D, SolidWorks and simulation workloads from any office or site trailer, project data in one place, and ITAR or CMMC aligned hosting when the contract demands it. The infrastructure side of the project handled, so your engineers can focus on the design.

The Real Problem

What's Actually Broken in Engineering Firm IT.

Most engineering IT problems are not exotic. They are four operational realities, made expensive by files that weigh gigabytes and deadlines that do not move. Here is what we hear from principals and IT managers in this space.

Models Are Too Big for the WAN

A 2 GB Revit central file or a Civil 3D corridor does not open well over a VPN. Engineers copy files locally, versions drift, and someone finds out at the 90 percent submittal that two people were working on different models.

Workstation Refresh Never Catches Up

Every release of Revit, SolidWorks and ANSYS wants more GPU and more RAM. A firm of 60 engineers is refreshing $5,000 workstations on a treadmill, and the newest hire still gets the oldest machine.

Defense and Infrastructure Work Raises the Bar

ITAR-controlled drawings, CMMC requirements from DoD primes and utility clients with NERC obligations need documented access control and U.S.-only hosting. Proving it on a flat office network is nearly impossible.

Site Offices and Remote Staff Are Second-Class

Field engineers, satellite offices and remote hires get slower access, older files and weaker security. Recruiting the best structural engineer in Denver should not depend on where the server sits.

How We Address It

Infrastructure That Keeps the Model Close to the Compute.

GPU-Accelerated Virtual Workstations

Revit, Civil 3D, SolidWorks, ANSYS and Bluebeam run on NVIDIA-backed virtual desktops next to the data, streamed to any device. The 2 GB model opens in seconds from a site trailer.

Project Data Centralized

One authoritative copy of every project on high-performance storage in the datacenter, with versioning and snapshots. Central files stop drifting because nobody has to copy them.

ITAR and CMMC Aligned Hosting Options

U.S.-only datacenters, documented access control, MFA, encryption and audit logging that support ITAR-controlled projects and CMMC Level 2 requirements from defense primes. Evidence for the questionnaire, not a promise.

Every Office and Every Engineer, Same Experience

Headquarters, satellite offices, site trailers and remote hires get the same workstation and the same files. Recruiting is no longer limited by a commute to the server.

Engineering Platform Experience

Autodesk, Bentley, Dassault, ANSYS and Trimble workloads plus Deltek and BQE project accounting run on our infrastructure today, with runbooks for license servers and the vendors that still require named hosts.

Common Questions

What Engineering Principals Ask Before They Sign.

Will Revit and Civil 3D actually perform on a virtual workstation?
+

Yes, when the workstation has a real GPU and sits next to the data. Our virtual desktops run on NVIDIA-backed hosts on the same high-performance storage as your project files, so a large central file opens in seconds instead of minutes over a VPN. We benchmark your actual models during the assessment rather than quoting vendor numbers.

How do you handle ITAR-controlled and CMMC projects?
+

All infrastructure is in U.S. datacenters operated by U.S. persons, with documented access control, MFA, encryption and audit logging that support ITAR-controlled data and CMMC Level 2 practices at the infrastructure layer. We supply the control evidence for your SPRS and prime-contractor questionnaires; the policies that govern your staff and your System Security Plan stay with your firm.

What about our Autodesk, Bentley and Dassault licensing?
+

Named-user and network license models both work. License servers run on dedicated virtual machines with the hardware identifiers the vendors require, and we coordinate with your reseller on any hosting-specific terms before migration.

Can field staff and remote engineers use this?
+

That is one of the main reasons firms move. A site trailer with a cellular connection, a satellite office and a remote hire in another state all get the same GPU workstation and the same files. Nothing is copied to a laptop that can be lost.

How disruptive is the migration for a firm mid-project?
+

Layer 2 VPN migration moves file servers, license servers and project accounting with zero application downtime and a rollback plan, scheduled around your submittal calendar. Engineers keep working during the move; the cutover happens between deadlines.
