Data Charges on Azure and AWS
Using self-managed Autodesk Vault on Azure or AWS incurs ongoing data transfer costs that can quickly escalate. CAD projects typically involve very large datasets; when multiple users regularly upload, download, or sync files between the cloud and local machines, these data egress and ingress charges add up rapidly. Monthly data transfer bills can easily reach thousands of dollars depending on usage volume and team size.
In contrast, Vault Cloud offers unlimited uploads and downloads with no extra data charges, providing truly predictable fixed-cost hosting.
Autodesk Vault Cloud vs On-Premise
DC Cloud provides secure encrypted SSL access to Vault from anywhere for authorised Vault users in a fully managed redundant environment.
DC not only supplies the cloud infrastructure, we provide a fully managed turn-key solution where DC manages the Server and Vault maintenance, administration and updates, saving you time and money on having an IT and Vault human resource, allowing you to focus on design.
