Virtual Desktop Instance (VDI) Provides a Quick, Scalable Remote Desktop CAD Solution for Product Launch

Nexmatix is a pneumatic valve company with an innovative new technology that helps reduce energy costs in the highly competitive automotive, food processing, semiconductor, and chemical industries.

"EpiGrid allowed our engineer to perform high speed renderings without extra computer resources. Not only was it a great instant way to ramp up and get ready for our launch, but it also enabled our design team with the freedom to work from anywhere on any device, including our Macs."

-Lowell Jones, Nexmatix VP of Engineering

ENHANCED COLLABORATION ON PREFERRED DEVICE—Allowed remote design teams to participate in a single design environment on any device.

EpiGrid’s remote desktop CAD service enhanced collaboration for Nexmatix's design team based in multiple cities. Preferring to work on Macs, Nexmatix's engineers could do 99% of what they needed to with SOLIDWORKS in Boot Camp on Macs but needed a solution to render a large number of files very quickly to launch their product catalog on their website.

SCALABLE FOR PEAK DEMAND—No longer limited by current hardware environment.

Using EpiGrid's VDI, Nexmatix can now scale accordingly for future engineering applications and staffing requirements without waiting on additional infrastructure and hardware installation.

QUICK AND EASY IMPLEMENTATION—Rapid deployment to meet project deadlines.

EpiGrid's remote CAD desktop workspace solution allowed Nexmatix to operate without hassles, worry, and expense by configuring computing resources to match the needs of their business in a matter of hours.

 LOWER COSTS—EpiGrid's Remote Desktop CAD solution created a virtual PC workstation saving time and money.

Integrating EpiGrid's powerful VDI Cloud-based solution into Nexmatix's on-site environment allowed their engineers to operate and utilize the SOLIDWORKS products they know and love on their Macs. Nexmatix saved more than $6,000 by not having to invest in a standalone PC workstation and extensive infrastructure just for rendering files.
