Through the established partnership with Workspot, Wood Rodgers had already proved VDI to be an effective solution for engineers, technicians, and field crews to work remotely. Delivering Engineering, GIS, and Design Projects in the Cloudįor the Technology Group at Wood Rodgers, continuing project deliverables in the face of COVID-19 required a rapid mitigation to the cloud. “The use of Workspot with GPU, combined with Wood Rodgers developed CAD custom tools and Azure based Enterprise GIS infrastructure, gives Wood Rodgers the ability to perform above and beyond, regardless of the location or device,” explained Michael Albrecht, Director of IT at Wood Rodgers. In engineering industry, a GPU is essential to process programs with high graphic and memory usage, such as AutoCAD. Workspot was selected due to their competitive business model, commitment to customer success, Tesla M60 Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) and presence in Microsoft Azure. Wood Rodgers searched for a VDI solution which could support the firm’s established file system provider, Panzura, as well as existing infrastructure on Microsoft Azure.

In this format, Wood Rodgers has leveraged technology for years, providing unparalleled service to clients.Ī professional engineer at Wood Rodgers works remotely on a job site.
The Technology Group consists of the CAD Department, GIS Group, and IT Team, which all work together in a Development Operations (DevOps) process. The original intention was to accommodate rapid expansion and increase remote capabilities within the Wood Rodgers offices of Las Vegas, Oakland, Pleasanton, Roseville, San Diego, and San Dimas. In October 2019, the Technology Group at Wood Rodgers began investigating the use of VDI. Without a powerful Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI), the remote work experience for an engineer would be slow, inconsistent, and very frustrating, if not impossible. Large amount of data and resources are required for each of these power-house programs to function. A typical day for the average engineer at Wood Rodgers requires AutoCAD, Civil 3D, ArcGIS, Bentley FlowMaster, Bluebeam Revu, and BST Global.

For engineering firms, the challenge to implement remote workspaces may be elevated compared to other industries, simply due to demanding software requirements.
