Along with Autodesk 360, Revit Server, Vault and Buzzsaw, Autodesk will be presenting a new cloud based technology that will be integrated into A360. Project Skyscraper will help the collaboration between multidisciplinary companies with multiple locations. The technology is under development and is expected to debut sometime in 2015. Skyscraper will eventually be the default collaboration platform in the Revit world.

Η τεχνολογία είναι υπό εξέλιξη και θα ολοκληρωθεί μέσα στο 2015 και θα είναι η τελική πλατφόρμα επικοινωνίας για όλους τους χρήστες Revit.

HP Z Turbo Drive

We all know by now that we need a solid state disk drive to increase response times of various software that use the hard disk frequently. HP recently released an add-in PCI Express card with an impressive name and performance. It boasts two and a half times the read/write times of a standard solid state disk. More info here.

Γνωρίζουμε όλοι ότι οι solid state δίσκοι βελτιώνουν τις ταχύτητες λειτουργίας διάφορων προγραμμάτων τα οποία απαιτούν συχνή χρήση του σκληρού δίσκου. Πρόσφατα η HP παρουσίασε μια πρόσθετη κάρτα PCI Express με εντυπωσιακό όνομα και επιδόσεις. Βελτιώνει την ταχύτητα εγγραφής από και προς τον σκληρό δίσκο περίπου 2,5 φορές σε σχέση με έναν απλό SSD.
