AutoCAD Cloud Hosting offers versatile solutions tailored to meet the unique demands of various users. Here are some examples of how different sectors benefit from our hosting services:
Architectural firms can greatly benefit from AutoCAD cloud hosting by enabling remote collaboration on large, complex building designs. Teams can work together in real time, whether they are in the office, on-site, or working remotely.
This ensures that all stakeholders have access to the latest versions of drawings and can provide input without the delays associated with traditional file-sharing methods.
Engineering companies often deal with intricate designs that require substantial computing power. With AutoCAD cloud hosting, engineers can leverage powerful virtual machines to handle complex simulations and calculations without the need for expensive local hardware.
This allows for more efficient workflows and the ability to scale resources based on project needs.
In the construction industry, project teams are often dispersed across various locations. AutoCAD cloud hosting allows construction professionals to access project drawings and updates from the field, office, or home.
This facilitates better coordination, quicker decision-making, and reduces the risk of errors due to outdated plans.
Educational institutions that teach AutoCAD can use cloud hosting to provide students with access to the software from anywhere.
This is particularly useful for remote learning scenarios, allowing students to work on their assignments and collaborate with classmates without needing high-powered personal computers.
We offer tailored plans through which our customer success team can guide you.
Just as when buying a laptop, choose how much memory and processing power you need.
Securely provide your AutoCAD license to install it on your cloud computer.
Log into your V2 Cloud portal and use AutoCAD as if you had it installed on your desktop.

As a small business with very few employees all the alternatives required minimum order commitment and exceeded our budget. V2 Cloud help us setup the machine we needed and also install our accounting software.
A virtual desktop is similar to a normal computer desktop, but everything is on a software package and runs on a cloud server. Multiple virtual desktops can be run on a single server, which eases the collaboration between users and reduces costs. A virtual desktop solution is a way of deploying multiple virtual desktops similar to a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI).
Creating a virtual desktop can be difficult and depending on the provider you’re with, it can require IT skills and certifications. That’s different with V2 Cloud’s virtual desktop services—you can create a virtual desktop in 20 minutes. Simply create an account, build your virtual desktop in the cloud, and after 20 minutes you can start using it.
The cost of virtual desktops is determined based on user licenses and resource requirements, including CPU and RAM. The standard package typically includes a set of computing resources, such as multiple CPUs and RAM allocation, bundled with a per-user licensing fee. For users distributed across different locations, dedicated virtual desktops may be required, as shared resources may not be feasible.

Virtual machines or VM, are virtualized computing environments similar to physical computers. Virtual Desktop Infrastructure or VDI is a system that is using VMs to provision virtual desktops and applications. You can keep in mind that VDI > VM > Virtual Desktops. VDI is the infrastructure where your virtual machines are hosted and those virtual machines have virtual desktops.
Virtual desktops are notoriously safe because your data never leaves the cloud. Virtual desktop solutions are usually safer than physical desktops. Since no business data is stored on the physical machine, multiple layers of security and encryptions are built-in with cloud desktops. Multifactor authentication(MFA) and single sign-on(SSO) on a cloud PC are protecting end-users way more than mixing personal data with business data on a physical desktop.
There are many advantages to using virtual desktop software. The key aim of virtual desktops is to better manage workloads by transforming traditional computing to be more scalable, efficient, and economical. Virtual desktop software is quickly being adopted by organizations and the academic community due to its ability to offer a reduction of investment outlays and operating costs. Some benefits of virtual desktop software are:
– Simplified management
– Increase productivity
– Flexible and cost-effective
– Environmentally friendly
