Virtual Cloud Desktop Pod (VCDPod) said to offer full power of a high-end in-office workstation
Creative ITC has launched a new virtual cloud desktop solution purpose built for the AEC sector that it claims delivers the full power of a high-end in-office workstation to architects, wherever they work.
The Virtual Cloud Desktop Pod (VCDPod) is purpose-built for processor- or graphics-intensive design, visualisation, simulation, and modelling applications.
With VCDPod, AEC professionals use a dedicated laptop, thin client or iPad to login into a virtual cloud desktop that offers ‘single tenant’ access to high-end computing resources. The service uses dedicated Lenovo workstations with the latest Nvidia GPUs and powerful CPUs.
According to Creative ITC, VCDPod delivers higher clock speeds for even the most demanding workloads and offers multi-screen capabilities with no image degradation.
Other key features include secure local storage, built to meet compliance, data sovereignty, and protection requirements, along with simplified IT management through a ‘fully managed’ service backed by 24/7/365 AEC ‘expert tech support’. The platform is also said to offer transparent pricing and real-time usage tracking.
VCDPod complements Creative ITC’s existing fully managed VDI solution, VDIPod, giving architecture practices flexibility to create a tailored, hybrid solution designed to scale with them.
Creative ITC works with leading AEC firms including Atkins Realis, Foster + Partners and BAM.
