GPU workstations for CAD and BIM streamed with Amazon DCV, project files next to them, and simulation capacity on AWS Parallel Computing Service or ParallelCluster, sized around your licences rather than around peak demand.
3–8 weeks
$15k–$50k
Engineering firms move workstations and simulation to AWS to support multiple offices and remote staff, onboard contractors quickly, keep project data off laptops and meet deadline peaks. It is not always cheaper than hardware, so we start with a measured pilot and size everything around actual use and your software licences.
Benchmark your heaviest models on several GPU instance types from each office
Build images, DCV access, identity and auto-stop policies
Put project files on FSx next to the workstations
Benchmark solver scaling to find the core count where more cores stop helping
Build a Slurm cluster on PCS or ParallelCluster, with Spot where jobs checkpoint
Integrate licence servers and queue by licence availability
Workstations and clusters in your AWS account, defined in code, with cost dashboards and a comparison against your hardware baseline
