IKON Ingenieure AG, a leading engineering firm for innovative construction projects, needed a high-performance IT solution for complex 3D CAD applications under considerable time pressure. They were looking for an infrastructure that combined powerful graphics processing with flexible access for more than 50 users. MTF implemented a customised private cloud with virtualised high-performance workstations that enable location-independent working while guaranteeing maximum data security in Swiss data centres.

CLOUD-BASED HIGH-END SOLUTION FOR MODERN 3D CAD ENGINEERING
CHALLENGE
IKON Ingenieure AG faced the challenge of implementing a modern IT infrastructure for its sophisticated CAD applications within a very short timeframe. With over 50 users accessing complex 3D CAD systems simultaneously, the technical requirements were high. The complexity of the applications required a high-performance and stable environment, and the planned switch to a new MPLS internet connection for secure data transmission further increased the complexity of the project. The company's high standards of perfection required precise planning for smooth integration with maximum availability. The company sought a solution that combined the highest performance with data security and location-independent access – without compromising the speed and stability essential for precise engineering.
SOLUTION
MTF's customized private cloud solution, specifically optimized for CAD applications, proved to be the ideal answer to these challenges. The use of virtualized high-performance workstations provided maximum computing power exactly where IKON needed it - for complex 3D designs and calculations, including those using the "Allplan" application. The cloud infrastructure was designed to be expandable with just a few clicks - for example, when additional users are added or expanded functionality is required. Redundant data storage in our Swiss data centers allows IKON to benefit from the highest security standards and availability. The new IT solution was seamlessly integrated into existing company processes over a predefined weekend without interruption, replacing the existing IT infrastructure. A stable MPLS internet connection ensures consistently high performance, allowing engineers to work with full computing power regardless of location.
