The graphic design sector is always on the lookout for new and innovative solutions that can further push the boundaries of what has already been achieved by existing applications. However, it is sometimes hard to beat the original, and AutoCAD remains a cornerstone of the industry, setting the benchmark for precision and scalability. The 2D & 3D software suite is offered by Autodesk and is popularly used by both big and small design studios and organizations. The design software has several other impressive features such as:<\/p>\n
Although the application is primarily locally deployable, organizations and studios, especially those that support remote work options and are stricter about their applications and data, can host their AutoCAD system on Apps4Rent\u2019s data centers. This provides a secure, hybrid deployment mode that combines the features of on-premises and cloud setups.<\/p>\n
Although on-premises applications have their appeal, especially in terms of the control over data and customizability options it affords users regarding the AutoCAD setup and deployment, cloud-hosted applications generally come out on top.<\/p>\n
The following points highlight the benefits of a cloud-hosted AutoCAD setup.<\/strong><\/p>\n Users can easily host their locally deployed AutoCAD application on Apps4Rent\u2019s cloud centers and access them through our customizable hosted Citrix virtual desktop solutions<\/a>. It is the ideal virtualization technology especially for resource and graphics intensive applications like AutoCAD.<\/p>\n The following table outlines the minimum hardware and software requirements to run AutoCAD, both on-premises and in the cloud.<\/p>\n Transitioning from an on-premises AutoCAD deployment to a cloud-hosted one is not a simple task and requires an in-depth understanding of the underlying cloud architecture to properly configure and set up. Fortunately for you, our expert engineers have the technical skills and knowledge to host your AutoCAD setup on the cloud with minimal downtime for your organization.
