Focused project work
Glide Essential
A starting point for CAD, documentation and lighter model work.
Temporary contributors and clearly defined everyday tasks.
- A focused application set
- A right-sized workspace
- A defined project term
WORKSTATION PLANS
Three plans. Sized around your work.
Use Essential, Pro or Performance to start the conversation. We’ll match the scope to the applications, people and project—not ask you to guess a server specification.
Architecture & BIM
Glide Pro
A balanced starting point for modelling, coordination and multidisciplinary project work.
Architecture and BIM teams planning additional project capacity.
- Representative model review
- Application and collaboration fit
- Concurrent-user planning
Demanding workloads
Glide Performance
A tailored scope for larger models, visualisation and memory-intensive tasks.
Teams whose project needs call for a separate performance assessment.
- Scene, model and memory review
- Graphics and application requirements
- Task-specific acceptance criteria
Start with Essential, Pro or Performance. We’ll use your workload and working pattern to shape the configuration and scope. Choose a starting point, not a fixed hardware specification. Your proposal confirms applications, configuration, users, usage, access, storage and support.

Configuration, usage and access are separate decisions.
A plan describes the workload. Your proposal also specifies expected hours, simultaneous users, project duration and access arrangements. A retained workspace does not imply unlimited usage or exclusive physical hardware.
What your proposal covers.
Applications and licence responsibilities; workstation configuration; users and access; storage and recovery scope; setup; support; project term and exit. The commercial terms are provided with that scope, not advertised as a generic starting price.

Plans sized around your work
Choose the workload first. Scope applications, users, usage, access, storage and project term in the proposal.
- Glide Essential: Focused project work: a focused application set, a workspace sized for the task and a defined project term.
- Glide Pro: Architecture and BIM: representative model review, application and collaboration fit, and concurrent-user planning.
- Glide Performance: Demanding workloads: scene, model and memory review, graphics and application requirements, and task-specific acceptance criteria.
USEFUL ANSWERS
Questions about the project.
What is a remote workstation?
A workstation that runs applications away from your local device. Your device sends keyboard and pointer input and receives the display; application data uses its own agreed storage path.
Which plan should I choose?
Essential is a starting point for focused CAD and documentation; Pro for architecture and BIM; Performance for more demanding workloads. Select “Help me choose” when submitting your enquiry.
Are software licences included?
Application subscriptions are not automatically included. Tell us which entitlements your organisation holds so the permitted setup and any additional requirements can be reviewed.
Can I use Revit, AutoCAD or Navisworks?
Share the exact application, version, plug-ins and collaboration method. Your proposal will confirm the accepted application scope and licence responsibilities; naming an application here is not a certification or support guarantee.
Can project data stay in our approved environment?
That is a requirement to review with your BIM and IT teams. Compatibility, permissions, local caches and transfers must be understood for the chosen applications.
Can we specify Canadian hosting?
Yes—include the requirement in your brief and identify which systems it covers. The delivery proposal must confirm the accepted location of compute and any other included data layers.
Do you publish standard prices?
No. Request a scoped proposal so the commercial terms reflect configuration, users, access, usage, setup, storage and support.
Does a plan include unlimited hours?
No unlimited usage is implied. Usage, simultaneous access and the project term are separate parts of the proposal.
Is the physical GPU dedicated to us?
Do not infer exclusive physical hardware from a plan name or workspace. Any exclusivity requirement must be specified and accepted in the proposal.
What equipment do users need?
A suitable endpoint, connection and compatible peripherals. Review monitors, input devices and any specialist hardware alongside the intended tasks.
Is a persistent workspace the same as backup?
No. Keeping a workspace between sessions, keeping it continuously running, and restoring data after loss are separate requirements.
Will this always cost less than buying hardware?
No. Local equipment can be attractive for stable long-term use. Compare the same users, duration, access, endpoints, support and equipment value.
Can I start immediately after submitting the form?
No. The form starts a project discussion. Configuration, application fit, availability and a start date must be confirmed before access begins.
Should I attach a model?
Not to the website enquiry. Start with a brief description; any later evaluation needs an agreed secure route and permission to use the material.
What happens at project completion?
Agree workspace exports, project-data responsibilities, access removal and retention or deletion as part of the scope before the project starts.
Does an enquiry subscribe me to marketing?
No. We use it to respond to the request and manage agreed follow-up. Unrelated marketing requires its own appropriate permission.
START WITH THE PROJECT
What does your next project need?
Tell us what your team needs to deliver. We’ll start there. Share a short project outline. We’ll review the applications, people, timing and data requirements, then discuss the most useful next step. No model files are needed to start.
Discuss your projectConfigurations, application fit and start dates are confirmed in your proposal.
