What is AutoCAD Cloud Hosting?
AutoCAD has been one of, if not the most recognized computer-aided design (CAD) program for decades, despite actually not being the pioneer.
AutoCAD allows its users to draw and model 2D and 3D geometric objects on computers with a capability for creating virtually all types of objects and structures.
With its capacity and versatility, AutoCAD is widely used in many different fields, from graphic design to interior design to architecture and civil engineering, among others.
Yet, with its powerful capability, AutoCAD is also a very power-hungry application requiring a powerful (and often expensive) device to run it in a reliable way.
CloudSourceUSA’s AutoCAD Cloud Hosting service answers this concern by allowing you to access AutoCAD via CloudSourceUSA secure cloud servers instead of relying on your own device.
Rather than downloading and installing the AutoCAD platform on your desktop device, you can run AutoCAD on a virtual desktop over the cloud.
This configuration allows you to securely access AutoCAD Desktop software remotely from anywhere and on any device (including mobile devices and inexpensive thin clients.)
