Using Riverbed for remote acceleration
Definition of the problem: Slow VPN connections
How does Riverbed technology help?
File-centric vs Model-centric (AutoCAD vs Revit workflows)
CSG BIMcloud: Host your model on our cloud server

• We started with a Local Area Network (LAN)• We grew into a Wide Area Network (WAN) as additional office’s were added
• We look to centrally host a project but access it with CAD clients distributed throughout
• Project data was posted and distributed to the team
• With the use of the internet we try to collaborate with remote users and partners
• We employed portals like “Buzzsaw” to ease our ability to share information with the team

• Slow transfer time for often very large files• Change by team members are only available after project is re-synced to portal
• Design problems are often unable to be detected until the project has been re-synced • Project data needs to be re-synced with project owner to be backed up
• These portal exist outside the document management solution

• With the addition of Riverbed WAN accelerators• Remote office servers and collaboration portals can be removed
• Mobile client receive a license to “peer” with a Riverbed device
• Project data is hosted and controlled by the project owner
• Partners and remote employees brought in by VPN client receive a Riverbed Mobile client
• The mobile clients and other Riverbed device “peer” and begin to optimize traffic

• Model hosted on CSG Server• Nothing to Purchase-monthly subscription
• Don’t guess…..we’ll prove it !
• NOTE: Nothing about this solution set is proprietary. We make no changes to how you
use Revit.
