What challenges do engineering teams face with CAD/CAM applications over global networks?

Engineering teams face challenges including slow file transfers for large design files, poor performance when accessing remote repositories, latency issues during real-time collaboration, version control problems, and inconsistent application performance across global locations.

How does Aryaka's SD-WAN improve CAD/CAM application performance?

Aryaka's SD-WAN improves CAD/CAM performance through application-specific optimizations, large file transfer acceleration, intelligent routing that minimizes latency, deduplication of design data, and prioritization of engineering traffic to ensure consistent performance.

Which CAD/CAM applications does Aryaka optimize?

Aryaka optimizes all major CAD/CAM applications including AutoCAD, SolidWorks, CATIA, Creo, NX, Inventor, and other engineering design and PLM software. The solution is application-agnostic and can be customized for specific engineering workflows.

What are the business benefits of accelerating CAD/CAM with Aryaka?

Benefits include reduced design cycle times, improved engineering productivity, enhanced collaboration between global teams, faster product development, reduced IT infrastructure costs, better version control, and improved competitive advantage through faster time-to-market.

How does Aryaka handle large CAD file transfers?

Aryaka handles large CAD file transfers through advanced optimization techniques including TCP acceleration, data deduplication, compression, and protocol optimization. These techniques can reduce transfer times by up to 90% for large design files and assemblies.

Can Aryaka's solution support real-time collaboration on CAD models?

Yes, Aryaka's solution supports real-time collaboration by minimizing latency and jitter, ensuring consistent performance for collaborative design sessions, and providing reliable connectivity for shared design environments across global locations.

Accelerate CAD/CAM Performance With SD-WAN

Unified SASE Accelerates CAD/CAM Applications:

File integrity is maintained using Aryaka’s global private core network, which includes built-in WAN optimization to minimize packet loss.
Advanced traffic management ensures service prioritization, traffic shaping, and bandwidth reservation, guaranteeing consistent bandwidth for critical applications.
Last-mile optimization enhances Quality of Service (QoS) across all locations, even those with suboptimal internet connections.
Real-time visibility through the Aryaka portal offers granular insights into network performance, enabling you to optimize CAD/CAM application performance.

Manufacturing companies rely on CAD/CAM (Computer Aided Design/Manufacturing) applications such as Autodesk AutoCAD and DS Solidworks for collaboration between design, engineering, and project teams. The more globalized the company is, the more distributed teams become: an architectural firm in California might be working on designs for a building to be constructed in Germany. Meanwhile, specialty parts will need to be acquired from an office in China.

These design applications function acceptably when everyone is in close proximity, however as distance increases so does performance degradation. Having the right network that delivers fast application performance for every global location and does not corrupt the integrity of data by the time it reaches remote locations is paramount.

“If an end user needed to order parts and our data transfers were not current, we could commit to ordering something we didn’t actually have, and cause delays in being able to service our customers.”

Infrastructure Engineer Makino

Average response time for a 200MB 3D CAD model to travel from Shanghai to San Jose or Frankfurt range from 68 to 135 minutes. Transfer times of this length not only slow down end user performance, but result in significant productivity loss.
