Your engineers run simulation models that consume 128 GB of RAM. Your CAD files are 2 GB each. Your FEA solver needs 48 cores to complete overnight. Generic IT does not understand these requirements — they will hand your structural engineer a laptop with integrated graphics and wonder why ANSYS crashes. GCS builds IT environments engineered for engineering.
SolidWorks, ANSYS, AutoCAD, Civil 3D, and Revit each have different CPU, GPU, and memory requirements. A workstation optimized for SolidWorks assembly modeling is not the same as one optimized for ANSYS CFD simulation. We specify, procure, and configure workstations matched to each engineer's actual workflow.
CPU, GPU, RAM, and storage selected based on the specific applications each engineer runs — not a one-size-fits-all configuration
ISV-certified NVIDIA Quadro / RTX and AMD Radeon Pro drivers — the studio drivers that CAD vendors test against, not consumer game drivers
Dell Precision, HP ZBook, and Lenovo ThinkStation at enterprise pricing — 15-30% below retail with 3-year next-business-day warranty
4-year refresh cycle with proactive replacement before performance degrades — no engineer waiting 6 months for a new machine
Our engineers support CAD, simulation, and analysis software daily — not occasionally. When SolidWorks crashes on a large assembly, when Civil 3D surfaces will not generate, or when your FEA solver hangs at 95% — we know why and we fix it fast.
Design and drafting software configured for peak performance.
Compute-intensive applications with specific hardware requirements.
Infrastructure and geospatial platforms for civil engineering.
Engineering firms generate massive files — 3D models, simulation datasets, point clouds, and GIS layers measured in gigabytes per file. Consumer file storage cannot handle this volume or deliver the read/write speeds your engineers need. We build storage infrastructure purpose-built for large engineering datasets.
10GbE network-attached storage delivering 1+ GB/s throughput — opening 2 GB SolidWorks assemblies in seconds, not minutes
Active projects on fast local storage, completed projects archived to cloud — reducing on-prem costs while maintaining access
Engineering file versioning with check-in/check-out preventing multiple engineers from overwriting each other's work on shared models
Engineers access only their assigned projects — client data isolated by engagement with full audit logging
Engineers work from client sites, home offices, and field locations. They need access to large CAD files, project storage, and compute resources from outside the office — without compromising project data confidentiality or suffering unusable performance over slow connections.
Encrypted IPsec VPN with split tunneling — project traffic via VPN, internet direct
GPU-enabled cloud desktops for running CAD from any device, anywhere
OneDrive + Files On-Demand caching active project files locally for offline work
Every remote connection verified — device compliance, location, and identity checks
FEA simulations, CFD analyses, and rendering jobs require dedicated compute resources. Running them on an engineer's workstation ties up their machine for hours and degrades their productivity. We deploy dedicated rendering and compute infrastructure — on-premises or cloud — so heavy jobs run in the background while engineers keep working.
Multi-socket server with 64-128 cores and 256-512 GB RAM dedicated to simulation jobs — engineers submit jobs and keep working
Azure HPC instances for peak demand — spin up 256 cores for a structural analysis, pay only for the hours used, tear down when complete
Multi-GPU rendering nodes for V-Ray, KeyShot, and Lumion — photorealistic renders completed in minutes instead of hours
Queue management so multiple engineers submit jobs without conflicts — priority scheduling based on deadline urgency
Slow workstations, undersized storage, and consumer-grade networking cost engineering firms thousands in lost productivity. Our free assessment evaluates your workstations, storage, network, and compute infrastructure against the actual requirements of your engineering software — and builds a plan to eliminate every bottleneck.
