CAD Desktop Cloud: Results by the Numbers Multisite synchronization transaction reduction Multisite synchronization errors reduction Large Assembly load-time reduction Large assembly load failures from memory limit CAD users working from home (% of total hours) CAD users satisfaction improvement Simulation performance improvements Maximum assembly size in production (Full load) > 4X > 3.5X > 2X ~0 > 6% > 30% > 1.8X > 15GB 8
Challenges of Internal Desktop CAD Cloud GPU acceleration Applied s solution was first deployed >4 years ago no GPU passthrough or virtualization available. Until 2012, all sessions are real-mode 1 user per (workstation) server. Session brokering in use, overall ~1.7 users per server. Citrix VDI now in use for non-authors (e.g. buyers, manufacturing etc.). We would prefer a cost effective GPU accelerated solution. Multi-tenant solution in POC. New servers will have 2xGPU. Note server density is a major cost factor, GPU side car impacts density. Budget Justification ROI demonstrated through enabling work beyond the office. Payback in under 18 months including all infrastructure (>1,000 servers) Adoption: skeptical users, wariness around moving data from local to central locations Sufficient user benefits needed to overcome perceived risks (mobility, new capabilities, performance) Zero performance degradation is minimum required. Communicate clearly to users where data is stored, and how / when it moves The best presentation is a demonstration. Performance and Capacity: Very high demands placed on network and storage Once users are able to create very large assemblies, they will Data must be able to move easily and quickly between storage locations e.g. workspaces, suppliers Architecture and infrastructure should be thoroughly tested to ensure capability to handle additional load. Constant monitoring required. Skillset / capability requirements Vendor assistance is key to ensure successful application transition. Autodesk proved particularly helpful. Image management: Increase in central management of applications, requires significant change management and new expertise. New images must be released in under 6 hours to 1000 s of computers worldwide. 9
External Cloud Vs. Internal Cloud For 4 years, Applied Materials has run a private internal desktop CAD cloud In addition, Applied runs email, HR applications, and other point solutions in external cloud. External cloud solutions are attractive lower infrastructure costs, lower overhead and easier to scale Source: http://www.vi.net/blog External and internal clouds can coexist, it is not necessarily an either / or decision Key impediments to moving enterprise apps to external cloud (in no particular order) Higher level of trust is required where sensitive IP is involved Integration to corporate ERP, PDM and custom applications Managing customer IP, ITAR requirements Moving large datasets quickly between applications Budgeting, Op Ex versus Cap Ex. Cost of read users versus authors Fear of lock-in 10
Benefits of CAD Desktop Cloud Collaboration: Global access to data and applications Synchronization: Complexity & transactions greatly reduced Computing Power: Blade power available to CAD users Mobility: Users can easily work remotely and from home Security: Data does not leave the data centers Onboarding: Instant access to applications and data User Satisfaction: Vast improvement in user scorecards 11
