Aibel faced the challenge of enabling high-performance design work for 1,500 engineers using CAD/CAM workstations. These users were previously tied to powerful physical workstations at eight locations in Norway, as well as offices in Thailand and Singapore. The massive data flow required for 3D modeling across a Wide Area Network (WAN) was becoming unwieldy, slowing down collaborative projects. Solution: Virtualizing CAD/CAM Workloads To solve this, Aibel utilized Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops (formerly XenDesktop/XenApp) alongside NVIDIA GRID technology. This combination allowed Aibel to: Virtualize 3D Modeling
To get the most out of Citrix Aibel, organizations should follow best practices for implementation, including: citrix aibel
: By leveraging GPU-enabled Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI), Aibel moved resource-heavy engineering applications into a centralized data center. Improve Collaboration slowing down collaborative projects.
