THE PROS OF CLOUD-HOSTED CAD Designers, collaborators, employers & clients can securely access projects via the Cloud, from anywhere, at anytime. Computing power is scalable for large jobs requiring more cores. Free-up space on your hard drive while ensuring you'll never lose your personal files. The cost of subscription is low. The software vendor is Unlimited storage offered for a flat monthly fee. responsible for hardware upgrades & maintenance. Direct customer support, troubleshooting & technical resources, video tutorials & a comprehensive knowledgebase can be offered via telephone, email or live chat. DESIGNERS' FEARS PUT TO REST SECURITY & SAFETY OF DESIGNS For customer security & protection, prospective personnel with potential access to sensitive data are screened Internet firewalls & defense systems keep the environment protected against a variety of attacks & persistent threats. Host-based firewalls further protect each computer platform. through background checks before being employed. 90 Files & identities are safe during storage, transit, & usage. The platform is built on a reliable, protected technology infrastructure designed for cloud computing. Hardened computer platforms are purpose-built for the services delivered. ACCESSING DESIGNS IN CLOUD BACK UP AND OWNERSHIP OF DESIGNS IN CLOUD You can access it from anywhere through an Internet connection, after providing your secure login ID & password. Data stored in the service is backed up automatically to maintain reliability & availability. Secure authentication methods Download & back up work locally allow only authorized user in a secure environment. access to data & services. Once purged, your data may persist in backup copies for a reasonable period of time but cannot be recovered or read by anyone but you. You control who has access to your data, when you share it, & with whom. The services are designed to Customers own the content protect data & authentication they create. in transit. With your IT in the Cloud, files can be accessed with a 99% guaranteed uptime. IP does not transfer ownership simply because of the storage location. GOING MOBIL Cloud-hosted CAD is confronting new input mechanisms & new display modes because of tablets & smartphones, ensuring complete accessibility. 40% see the major advantage of the cloud is being able to work from home in the nude. 76% of mobileworkers feel the ability to work outside the office, yet remain in constant contact, has been a positive development. 10SOLUTION COMPANY Brought to you by 3DVIA S 3DVIA www.3dvia.com SOURCES http://www.webpronews.com/americans-think-cloud-computing-comes-from-actual-clouds-2012-08 http://www.smallibiztechnology.com/archive/2012/08/what-do-small-businesses-really-think-of-cloud-computing-infographic.html http://www.smalbiztechnology.comra http://www.workforceanywhere.com/2012/06/12/infographic-cloud-computing the moh http://submitinfographics.com/all-Infographics/infographic-cloud-computing-vs-snow.html http://submitinfographics.com/all-Infographics/infographic-cloud-computing-vs-snow.html http://yoyoclouds.wordpress.com/2012/05/16/cloud-Infographics-what-is-private-cloud-computing http://www.workforceanywhere.com/2012/06/12/infographic-cloud-computing-the-mobile-enterprise/ http://www.blog.cadnauseam.com/2011/11/15/cloud-concerns-trust https://wwwl.cfnc.org/Plan/For_A_CareeriCareer_Profile/Career_Profile.aspx?id=nStym3lchLhN8mbcwpzylwXAP3DPAXXAP3DPAX http://www.wisegeek.com/what-does-a-3d-designer-do.htm https://wwwl.cfnc.org/Plan/For_A_Career/Career_Profile/Career_Profile.aspx?id-nStym3lchLhN8mbcwpzylwXAP3DPAXXAP3DPAX http://www.deskeng.com/articles/aabhcy.htm http .com/archive/2012/08/what-do-small-businesses-really-think-of-cloud-computing-infographic.htm g-the-mobile-enterprise d/download.autodesk.com/us/plm360/ADSK 360 Security_Overview.pdf http://www.deskeng.com/articles/aabhcy htm http://www.3dengr.com/2012/06/market-for-cad-in-cloud-is-not-tiny.html http://www.deskeng.com/articles/aabhcy.htm http://download.autodesk.com/us/plm360/ADSK_360_Security_Overview.pdf http://www.deskeng.com/articles/aabhcy.htm
