"No longer will super-high-end hardware be the critical success factor," said
Objectivity, a Synchro technology partner, offers Synchro users the ability to utilise all three tiers of the typical hardware platform, including the combination of x64 operating systems, graphics card memory capacity, hard disk space, and high-speed input/output to support the database. Even the most challenging 3D models are tamed by the revolutionary solutions developed at Synchro.
Although putting more advanced hardware in place to run the application will always make a positive difference on both software scale and performance, the planning community at large has never been too demanding on the power of the PC through the traditional legacy planning solutions led by world class solutions like Oracle | Primavera.
However, when 3D models become part of the planner's strategic competitive advantage and are an essential component in the delivery process, Synchro brings the planner into this challenging and exciting new process through the use of 4D scheduling and construction simulation: a whole new world of requirements are driven by the CAD industry and the typical planner has normally been left wanting for new, more robust hardware.
Engineering software and CAD especially has always pushed the boundaries of the workstation hardware and today is no different. While the planners and schedulers lived in the standard office PC world as CAD users were afforded the best workstation hardware, these two worlds have now converged.
While it would be quite nice to see every planner in the world gain the resources and funds to upgrade to the super-workstations that generate these fantastic designs and super-sized 3D models, the reality is that such a vision too often simply proves to be impractical.
Synchro's part in all of these dynamics is to support a smooth transition for the planner into the new world of BIM. Synchro has set out to do its part to gain an edge for planners and support their efforts to gain all the benefits of entry into the highly productive side of virtual design and construction via BIM.
Synchro's efforts have come through smart thinking, great software engineering skills, focus and hard work by a fantastic global team at Synchro and great technology partners like Objectivity and TechSoft 3D.
We encourage all users to upgrade to our fourth generation version of Synchro Professional 4.0 and place your order for the new database module now sold separately in order to see just how wide we can open the door to larger models on the existing hardware of our users.
