SimpsonHaugh
Case Study

Remote Working | Multiple Devices | Security | Cloud | VDI | High Graphical Data

Background

A creative and bespoke approach is applied to every opportunity. Collaboration with aspirational clients, engaged communities, and ambitious design teams is key to harnessing the passion, knowledge, and expertise required to evolve powerful yet pragmatic solutions.

In order to achieve this, various BIM authoring tools (such as Autodesk Revit) are used which require GPU Acceleration. The team members needing access to this software include:

  • Architects

  • Model Makers

  • Visualisers

  • Support Team

All need access to the same high-quality information in real-time in order to consistently deliver architectural projects of the highest design quality.

“Our working relationship with ebb3 came about through recommendation.”

The Problem

With a rise in focus on work-life balance generally and the growing expectation of connectivity whatever the location or personal situation, SimpsonHaugh required their team to be able to work remotely and from home when the need arose.

The existing Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) was felt to be subpar by users and additionally exhibited a host of security issues. SimpsonHaugh sought an alternative solution which would:

  • Offer the same performance for remote workers as they would experience at their office workstation

  • Provide access to all of the software necessary to complete their tasks

  • Be available from any device – desktop, laptop, tablet or mobile

The Solution

Working closely with SimpsonHaugh, the team at ebb3 designed and built a solution which could be hosted in Citrix Cloud, allowing the team to work remotely and log into their office workstations with ease.

Citrix’s HDX 3D Pro technology was used as it is optimised for Wide Area Networks (WAN) giving remote users the same experience as those in the office

The Citrix Remote PC Solution is also extremely secure with all data being encrypted, which mitigates the risk of data compromise

The Citrix infrastructure also allows SimpsonHaugh to get the most out of the hardware assets they had already invested in, while also assisting them to start their journey into the cloud
