Now, architecture knows no limits with hybrid solutions.

BVN is an award-winning architectural firm with an international footprint and global reputation for design leadership and innovation. With a mission to push the limits of design, BVN architects have embraced new technologies including powerful design software, 3D rendering tools, and virtual reality to envision, engineer, and showcase their work. To power these data-intensive technologies, BVN needed massive amounts of computing power with equally capable memory and storage, and it all needs to be easily accessed and shared across teams.

Cisco HyperFlex offered the latest GPUs and better performance than the other on-prem solutions we considered, and it was also less expensive. A cloud-based solution would have cost substantially more, and our data would be harder to access.
