STRATUS: A Private Cloud Server Technology for Revit

There’s another really excellent article on www.aecbytes.com; this article was written by the CIO of an A&E firm and is targeted towards other A&E firms. But, reprographers, you are aware that I’m of the opinion that the more you know about what “customers” are doing, the better off you’ll be.

Introduction

Stephenson & Turner (S&T) is a medium-sized, multi-disciplinary, Architectural and Building Services Engineering practice based in New Zealand, with offices located in Auckland and Wellington. Originally established in Australia in 1920, S&T has been part of New Zealand's business community for more than 50 years. During that time, the company has helped shape New Zealand's architectural landscape, with an extensive portfolio of successfully completed projects. S&T now works with clients and associates on a wide range of projects throughout New Zealand and the Asia-Pacific, including a steadily increasing number of BIM-based projects.

S&T has developed and implemented a Private Cloud-based technology named STRATUS for the delivery of Autodesk Revit as an online service (see Figure 1). STRATUS has been operational for the past 12 months, with immediate and tangible benefits for the company and its clients. This article describes the background and rationale for S&T’s STRATUS development, and discusses additional details including the technology’s features and the benefits afforded by STRATUS to the firm.

Okay, here’s the Internet address of the complete article:
