For many engineering teams, CAD performance problems are really IT burden problems in disguise. When internal IT is stretched thin, CAD users feel it first through slow systems, delayed updates, security gaps, and constant firefighting.
EpiGrid cloud-hosting is designed to remove that burden. EpiGrid-hosted CAD and PDM environments are 100% managed and monitored, taking on the infrastructure, maintenance, security, and performance responsibilities that normally fall on internal IT . That means fewer server headaches, fewer hardware refresh cycles, and less time spent troubleshooting specialized engineering systems.
Performance is a key part of the equation. EpiGrid helps maintain modern-spec infrastructure for CAD and PDM workloads, while centrally monitoring and adjusting resources to reduce the administrative load on engineering and IT teams . It also reduces common friction points like local hardware limitations and VPN-related bottlenecks through hosted workstations and secure connectivity options .
Security and Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) matter just as much. EpiGrid-hosted environments are positioned internally as secure, compliance-minded systems with managed security and backup protections, while also helping companies avoid the sunk costs of aging hardware and surprise infrastructure replacement expenses .
The bottom line: EpiGrid lets CAD teams spend less time supporting technology and more time using it. That is the real ROI of cloud-hosting—better performance, stronger security, and a lower total cost of ownership through reduced IT burden.
Earlier this year, we presented a 45-minute webinar diving deep into the EpiGrid solution. Please feel free to view this webinar for a better picture of what EpiGrid can offer your engineering group.
