MicroStation Cloud Hosting

Collaborate Efficiently with MicroStation Hosting for Remote Teams

A hosted MicroStation setup consolidates data and resources into a centrally manageable system that allows for multi-user workloads. Our hosting experts ensure that the deployment is configured for streamlined operations.

Apps4Rent's MicroStation hosting services are delivered via high-performance, dedicated virtual machines that are expertly configured to support intensive design and modelling workloads. Additionally, organizations can easily scale their allocated computational resources or the number of users by simply contacting our support staff.

  • Foster Collaboration: Your engineers and architects can collaborate more efficiently with shared access to project data and files.
  • Optimized Workflows: Your high-performance hosted MicroStation workstations can run design and visualization tasks with ease.

GPU-Enabled Workstations for Demanding Hosted MicroStation Workloads

Large DGN files, dense point cloud references, and visualization-heavy infrastructure models expose the limits of local workstations quickly. The problem compounds when teams are distributed or sharing machines, leading to slow redraws, session instability, and file access conflicts that disrupt the precise, detail-oriented work that MicroStation is built for.

Apps4Rent's GPU-optimized cloud desktops configured for MicroStation hosting are provisioned to run MicroStation smoothly at scale. Engineers and designers can work through complex 3D models, process large reference file sets, and handle rendering-intensive tasks without performance degradation, eliminating the cost of continuous hardware upgrades and the disruptions that come with underpowered machines.

Host your design and engineering toolkit alongside MicroStation in a single secure cloud environment. Supported applications include OpenRoads Designer, OpenBridge Modeler, OpenBuildings Designer, ProjectWise, AutoCAD, MATLAB, and other infrastructure and business tools.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Does Apps4Rent support bring-your-own-license for MicroStation hosting?

2. Which versions of MicroStation does Apps4Rent support?

Apps4Rent supports MicroStation CONNECT Edition and MicroStation V8i. Both versions can be hosted in the same environment, configured to meet your team's specific requirements.

3. What devices can I use to access hosted MicroStation?

Any device with an internet connection, including Windows PCs, Macs, laptops, or tablets. No local installation of MicroStation is required on the accessing device.

4. How does cloud-hosted MicroStation handle large DGN files and reference sets?

Your hosted MicroStation environment is provisioned with dedicated vCPU, RAM, and GPU resources, ensuring that large file operations, dense reference attachments, and 3D model rendering perform consistently without competing for resources with other users on the platform.

5. What happens to my session if I lose internet connectivity?

Your session remains active on the server side for a window after disconnection. Reconnecting restores your hosted MicroStation session where you left off, with minimal risk of losing work.

6. Can I install MicroStation add-ons and Bentley applications in the hosted environment?

Yes. You have full administrative access to your hosted MicroStation desktop. Installing Bentley applications such as OpenRoads Designer, OpenBridge Modeler, or ProjectWise connectors works the same way it would on a locally managed machine.
