The COVID-19 pandemic changed the way we work and has driven a rapid adoption of Virtual Desktop solutions.
In the world of Architecture Engineering and Construction (AEC), this means providing AEC professionals with high-performance Cloud Workstation, enabling them to work on CPU and GPU-intensive applications such as AutoCAD, Revit, Civil 3D, Navisworks, SolidWorks and many more. Additionally, users can remotely access their work and collaborate with team members in real-time from anywhere and using any device.
Intwo Cloud Workstation for GPU-Intensive Applications
Intwo Cloud Workstation is a cloud service built on Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD). Built for GPU-intensive applications, this service takes advantage of GPU-optimized host pools combined with the power autoscaling features. Our autoscaling functionality leverages a combination of AVD scaling plans and PowerShell scripting, which via the definition of various settings such as ramp-up hours, peak hours, ramp-down hours, and off-peak hours for weekdays, etc., enables the autoscaling triggers.
Automatic Up- and Downscaling for Low and Optimized Compute Costs
In short, the AVD host-pool will automatically scale-up based on usage demands and scale-down when resources are no longer needed. Designers and architects will enjoy the power of high-performance computing and application governance benefits, while guaranteeing low and optimized compute costs.
Many of our customers, including US CAD, use Intwo Cloud Workstation services to run their CAD & Revit software from virtual desktop solutions. Since 2020, US CAD has successfully run all training and education via their virtual training labs which we deployed on this cloud service.
