Construction
Model files measured
in gigabytes.
One building model can outweigh the rest of the office's files put together, and three people need it open at once. We build and run the storage, the workstations and the security around it.

The model is too big for the network
Opening a project shouldn't take long enough to make coffee. In plenty of studios it does.
- Opening the central model over the VPN takes twenty minutes, so people copy it locally and the versions fork.
- Renders tie up a designer's workstation overnight, and if it crashes at 3am the deadline goes with it.
- Design software seats are assigned by hand, and someone's always locked out on submission day.
- Drawings shared with consultants through file links stay public long after the project's built.
- Fifteen years of archived projects sit on a server under a desk, on a drive nobody's tested.
What fits
What we'd put in an architecture studio
Server & Infrastructure Management
Storage sized and placed for big models, so the file opens as quickly from home as it does at the desk.
Read moreNetwork Management
A studio network that moves gigabyte files between workstations without anyone watching a progress bar.
Read moreData Backup & Disaster Recovery (BDR)
Every project archive backed up and restore-tested, including the ones nobody's opened since 2012.
Read moreAsset Management
Workstations, GPUs and software seats tracked, so a license is free when someone needs it on deadline day.
Read moreIdentity & Access Management (IAM)
Consultant access to drawings that expires with the project instead of living on as a public link.
