Challenges

In today's fast-paced environment, businesses face significant hurdles in remote CAD collaboration, particularly without the use of VPNs. The complexity of CAD files, the necessity for real-time collaboration across dispersed teams, and stringent data security requirements pose unique challenges. These obstacles not only hinder operational efficiency but also compromise data integrity and project timelines.

Complex CAD Files

Handling large, complex CAD files remotely can be cumbersome, leading to inefficiencies and delays in project timelines.

Dispersed Teams

Ensuring seamless collaboration among team members spread across various locations remains a significant challenge without a reliable solution.

Data Security

Maintaining the highest level of data security and integrity during remote collaboration is paramount, yet challenging without the right tools.

Operational Inefficiency

The absence of an efficient remote collaboration solution leads to operational bottlenecks, affecting overall productivity and project delivery.


Identifying these challenges is crucial to enhancing your CAD collaboration workflow. We will guide you through solutions to address them effectively.


Existing Solutions and Their Limitations

In the realm of remote CAD collaboration, businesses are increasingly finding that existing solutions fall short of their needs. Traditional methods like VPNs, and cloud services such as SharePoint, OneDrive, and Dropbox, often fail to meet the specific demands of CAD workflows. These platforms, while useful for general file sharing, lack the nuanced capabilities required for efficient, secure CAD collaboration, leading to operational inefficiencies and security vulnerabilities.

Inadequate File Locking

Solutions like SharePoint and Dropbox struggle with effective file locking for CAD files, leading to conflicts and data integrity issues in collaborative environments.

Poor Large File Performance

Handling large CAD files efficiently remains a challenge for cloud services, with users experiencing slow upload/download speeds and latency issues.

Limited CAD Integration

Competing solutions offer limited or no integration with CAD software, hindering seamless workflows and requiring cumbersome workarounds.

Security and Compliance Gaps

Traditional VPNs and cloud solutions often fail to meet the stringent security and compliance requirements necessary for handling sensitive CAD data.

Cloud Drive Mapping

Drive mapping is an important feature for online file access. End users can easily drag and drop files and folders from a set of mapped drives over the Internet without a VPN connection.

Global File Locking

File locking is a vital feature for online file access and team collaboration to avoid conflicts. End users need to control global concurrent online file access by using file locking to maintain consistency.

Permission Control

Dropbox and Google Drive don't have the same level of centralized control as a file server. You might miss the NTFS permissions and the ability to know where your data is, who has access to it and what they're doing with it.

Frequently Asked Questions: All You Need to Know

How does CentreStack ensure secure remote CAD collaboration without VPN?

CentreStack uses cloud file server technology with modern collaboration tools, integrating features like drive mapping, file locking, and permission control without the need for a VPN. It leverages HTTPS streaming for faster access over traditional VPNs, ensuring data security and operational efficiency.

Can multiple people work simultaneously on the same DWG file with CentreStack?

Yes, but if you are using our file locking feature, it will be blocked when accessed to prevent multiple users from editing the same file at the same time. This may not take effect if the application used to access the file does not support locking. You can uncheck this option if you want multiple users to work on the file simultaneously.

Does CentreStack offer version control and protection against accidental deletions or ransomware?

Yes, we have full versioning. You can define your own retention policy, your own versions on each folder. This gives you protection from accidental deletions and ransomware malware attacks too. If a folder gets hit by ransomware malware, you just go back in time and restore to a previous version right before the attack.

Is it possible to access files on mobile devices without a VPN using CentreStack?

Yes, no VPN is required even on mobile devices. It is secure and over HTTPS. This allows for secure, efficient remote CAD collaboration without VPN, surpassing cloud limitations with better file locking and data security for teams.

How does CentreStack handle file access and collaboration for remote teams?

The solution cloudifies existing on-premises file servers so that users don't have to take the data out of their data centers. Users will be able to access the content from anywhere in the world as long as they have internet access. We have full integration with Active Directory and maintain the current NTFS permissions. Users can access the data via just a web portal, and we offer SAML integration for single sign-on. They will get a mapped drive, HTTPS mapped drive, which is 100 times better and faster performance-wise, versus trying to access these large files or any files over SMB via a VPN connector.

Can CentreStack be used for sharing CAD files with external partners or clients?

Yes, CentreStack allows for secure sharing of CAD files with external partners or clients, offering granular permission controls and unlimited external sharing capabilities, making it easy to collaborate without compromising security.

How does CentreStack compare to using VPNs for remote CAD collaboration?

CentreStack offers a superior alternative to VPNs by eliminating common issues such as latency and lost connections. It provides a seamless and secure way to collaborate on CAD files remotely, with no need for complex VPN setups.

Does CentreStack require any specific infrastructure for remote CAD collaboration?

No, CentreStack does not require any specific infrastructure. It can be deployed easily without the need for complex VPN setups or additional hardware, using existing IT infrastructure.
