Deliver GPU-accelerated CAD and BIM apps to every office, job site and home, protect design IP and onboard project partners in minutes, with Altanora.
Citrix runs demanding CAD and BIM applications such as Autodesk and Bentley on GPU-powered virtual desktops in the data center or cloud, and streams them to any device with Citrix HDX graphics. Large models stay next to the data, so teams collaborate without copying files over the WAN, and design IP never sits on a laptop.
Altanora has deep experience with GPU and graphics workloads, and engineering and architecture is one of the sectors where we run active Citrix-funded projects. Eligible projects may qualify for Citrix Funded Pro Services, with Citrix covering some or all of the services, subject to Citrix approval.
XenServer entitlement from Citrix's published licensing terms.
Big models, spread-out teams and valuable IP.
Models open instantly because they stay in the data center, next to the GPU and the file server.
Share GPU capacity across users with vGPU instead of buying and shipping high-end workstations.
Engineers work from any device, even on modest connections, with Citrix HDX graphics.
Drawings and models never leave the data center, and deviceTRUST checks every device.
Give subcontractors and partners secure, time-limited access without a VPN.
Citrix Experience Insights shows exactly where a slow model load comes from.

We profile your CAD and BIM users and size GPU profiles, storage and networking correctly.
We build GPU-accelerated Citrix desktops on-premises, in the cloud or hosted by Altanora, tuned for your applications. Eligible projects may qualify for Citrix Funded Pro Services, with Citrix covering some or all of the services, subject to Citrix approval.
We keep your environment fast and patched 24/7 through Citrix Managed Services.
Yes. Citrix runs CAD and BIM applications on GPU-accelerated virtual desktops using NVIDIA or AMD virtual GPUs, and Citrix HDX graphics streams them to users with a responsive experience.
Usually not for every user. GPU capacity is shared in the data center, so many users can work from standard laptops or thin clients.
Models and drawings stay in the data center and only screen updates reach the device, so files are not stored on laptops. Device posture checks add another layer of control.
Yes. You can give partners secure, time-limited access to specific apps or desktops without VPN access to your network.
On-premises, in Azure, AWS or Google Cloud, or in an Altanora-hosted cloud in the U.S., Canada, the UK or Australia.
