What’s Really Required? Perhaps the best first question in the process is: What should a good WAN data management strategy include? Here, in no particular order, are the key components I’ve come to believe are required. An enforceable storage, numbering, and revision scheme. This is how you know where the current versions of files are and assure that everyone is on the same page. Whether you use a software application or file folders and manual file naming, the point is to achieve consistency.
Data Management for WANs

Oct 10, 2023 | cadalyst.com | Robert Green

11 Oct, 2023 By: Robert Green I get a good number of questions about how to best manage CAD and BIM data across wide area networks (WANs) to support distributed- and home-based work teams. What continues to surprise me is that the problem has gotten worse over time as data set size and expectations have exploded while Internet speeds have remained static.

21 Sep, 2023 By: Alex Herrera There was a point in time in the history of workstation computing, when the list of core silicon processor vendors was a long one. Back in the 90’s, the names were many, including the workstation vendors themselves who engineered their own CPUs and GPUs. But that’s not the case any longer, as for all intents and purposes, the list is down to just three: Intel, Nvidia and AMD.

September 14, 2023Issue #516How to make the tools you already own work better for your CAD team. In my email inbox one theme tends to repeat itself — the frustration of how hard it is to really change anything in your CAD environment. I’ve always observed that the real pace of technology change is much slower than CAD companies and their PR firms would have you believe.
