We are thinking of purchasing four (4) Mac pros.
What specifications should my office be looking at to optimize these computers with our BIM Software being ArchiACD 15 (very likely to upgrade to version 16).

With all the talk about fast workstation builds for working with CAD files (Revit, Civil3D and AutoCAD) has there been any thoughts on windows base network servers?

Some of our group works with very large Revit files and Civil3d rendering and they have more than capable workstations but it sure seems like we could do better.

Any thoughts or server specs to suggest?

Hello,

I came across your blog a few weeks ago as I was contributing the research/writing/editing process for a website that I work for. The site aims to provide college students, techies, foodies, and anyone interested in keeping up-to-date on current events relating to Generation Y. The idea was originally to create an objective collection of resources for lifelong learners, but it has since grown into something much wider the resources come together at http://www.hackcollege.com/. Basically, the mission of the website is to provide engaging content about popular culture, technology, and education today.

The entirety of the web resource has been referred to by well-known websites such as Lifehacker, College Humor, and the University of Texas - Dallas.

I think a guest blog post that acutely attempts to dig into some of today's more pressing issues in higher education could be of some value to your readers. If you're interested, I would love to write something for you and perhaps start a friendly dialogue. What do you think?

Thanks, and I look forward to hearing from you.

All my best,

Jeanna Carter

Hi Editor,

While I was looking around for people that have talked about the issues surrounding gaming, dating and the World of Warcraft, I found your site and wanted to reach out to see if I could get you and your readership’s feedback on a graphic my team and I designed.

It illustrates how online gaming produces more e-romance than online dating sites.

If you’re interested, let’s connect. Thank you!

Dear Editor,

I came across your site while I was looking for people that talked about Internet and technology, mental health, and other related topics. Just wanted to reach out and see if you had any interest in using a graphic my team and I designed that focuses on how the instant gratification of the Internet makes us impatient.

The graphic lives here: http://www.onlinegraduateprograms.com/instant-america/

If you like it, feel free to link to it or use it in a post. Would love any feedback you had as well.

Thanks!

I am in the process of updating my workstation configuration specs for new CAD workstations. The one thing I cannot locate information on is a comparison of a SATA drive vs. an SSD drive. Most of our workstations have 160 GB 10K SATA drives, some will have 7200 rpm drives. I am considering getting new workstation with 256GB SSD drives. I would like to know what kind of effect that will have on the workstation performance and ultimately the end-user productivity.

Hello,

I run an IT Management firm and am implementing new hardware / software for an engineering client. We just updated 4 w/s to Dell T3500 w/quadro 2000 cards and I am pricing out a server for the office. This new server will run a hypervisor w/ 2 vm servers. One will be the DC / file server etc.
The other I am planning to have as a xenApp Citrix box. This is where I am looking for help. Not to setup but for advice.

The company has up to 5 people using autoCAD. One individual does 3D work. Each drafter / eng will have their Dell W/S for heavy work in office. I would like the Virtualized Citrix box to be able to run 1-3 instances of AutoCAD remotely or on site. 1 user would use it regularly in office on a GB connection and this would be his primary CAD solution but his tasks are not graphic intensive... they are more long calculation projects that we would like the huge processor/RAM of the VM to take care of.
The other employees would run CAD remotely but sparingly.

We definitely want the Terminal Server solution but do not need the CAD option. It would be very handy though.

1. Is this something that can be implemented the way I outlined above? Is it worthwhile for a small office? Around 10 staff total.
2. What Dell server setup / options would you recommend, most importantly what video card / cards should I use to implement this properly? I am planning a 4-5k solution with 2 x 6 core xeon.
(My understanding is that I can plug any engineering quality video card/s into the server, dedicate them to the citrix vm, and each would cover up to 4 users. I also read about Remote video cards, my understanding is that these are used to send the video stream out via cat5e cabling and not remotely.)
3. What software combination would you recommend to use for this purpose if I am off track?

Thank you for your time,
