Host your BIM projects in the Cloud— No VPN or IT support required

We host and manage BIM Servers for architectural firms all around the world. Without your firm having to procure and setup hardware, installing business class high-speed Internet with static IPs, configuring firewalls and VPNs or hiring expensive IT support, your firm can have its own BIM Server running in the Cloud in as little as an hour.

• From one BIM Server to dozens of BIM Servers, your BIM Servers are up and running in as little as an hour
• We manage the server, including Windows Server and BIM Server updates, running regular backups and monitoring of server performance and hard drive space
• The BIM Server’s web interface allows you to manage your projects, libraries and users on your hosted BIM Server
• Monthly billing with no long-term commitments

Global Data Centers

Hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Azure— With AWS and Azure, you take advantage of the world’s most scalable, reliable, redundant and secure global computing infrastructures. AWS and Azure serve on the backbone of the world’s Internet infrastructure offering your firm the most advanced technology in global networking.

What performance are you expecting? No more guessing.

With detailed live server and network metric analytics, we have the insights to know exactly what resources your solution requires in order to provide your firm with the best performance. Performance anomalies are also no-match for the artificial intelligence backed monitoring tools.

We use these tools to monitor all server and networks metrics to provide optimal performance over the entire vbim platform, but we also invite you to watch the same metrics of your hosted resources using the same tools we use if you desire.
