The Pros and Cons of Virtual vs. Physical Desktops in 3D Architecture
For 3D designers and architects, choosing between physical desktops and virtual desktops comes down to performance, security, and scalability needs. Virtual desktops eliminate the need for heavy hardware investments while supporting advanced tasks like rendering and modeling with flexibility and cost efficiency.
In the table below, you’ll find a detailed comparison of important factors like cost, scalability, and security. Discover how virtual desktops can transform your workflow, allowing you to focus on creative innovation without worrying about physical hardware limitations.
Key Features | Physical Desktops | flexidesktop for 3D Design |
|---|---|---|
Iniitial Costs | High costs for high-performance hardware and specialized licenses. | Lower startup costs; pay-as-you-go model keeps budgets flexible, even for high GPU needs. |
Scalability | Scaling requires purchasing additional powerful workstations. | Add or adjust resources instantly to support large rendering projects or growing design teams. |
Data Protection | Data stored on local devices, increasing risk of data loss. | Centralized, secure cloud storage with encryption and continuous backup for sensitive design files. |
IT Management | Demands dedicated IT for updates, maintenance, and support. | Cloud-based IT management reduces in-house maintenance needs and downtime. |
Remote Accessibility | Limited to on-site access, restricting remote work. | Accessible from any internet-enabled device, supporting remote and collaborative workflows in 3D projects. |
Business Resilience | Susceptible to hardware failures, causing costly project delays. | Reliable with built-in redundancy and cloud backups to ensure continuity for design and rendering tasks. |

Virtual Desktop FAQs for 3D Designers and Architects
How does flexidesktop pricing work? Are there any hidden fees?
Our pricing is a fixed monthly rate with no hidden fees, allowing you to plan and budget confidently. You only pay for the resources you select, with transparent costs and no unexpected charges.
Can multiple users share a virtual desktop for 3D projects?
Yes — with flexidesktop Team, multiple architects or designers can access the same virtual desktop environment with separate user sessions. This is ideal for teams collaborating on shared CAD, BIM, or 3D modeling files in real time.
What types of software can I install on a flexidesktop virtual desktop?
You can install any software compatible with the operating system, including 3D design tools like AutoCAD, Blender, and Adobe Creative Suite.
Is it secure to use a virtual desktop to store confidential data?
Yes, flexidesktop virtual desktops feature centralized storage, data encryption, and secure access protocols to protect your sensitive information.
Can I increase desktop resources as project demands grow?
Absolutely. You can scale up resources like memory, storage, and GPU power as your 3D projects require, ensuring seamless performance for even the most demanding tasks.
Does flexidesktop offer GPU options for 3D rendering and visualization?
Yes, we offer GPU-enabled virtual desktops designed for 3D modeling, rendering, and other graphic-intensive tasks, providing the performance needed without the high cost of physical hardware.
Can I access the virtual desktops from any device?
Yes, you can access virtual desktops from any device with an internet connection and a web browser, enabling flexible remote work.
Can I integrate collaboration apps on the virtual desktop?
Yes, you can integrate collaboration apps like Microsoft Teams, Slack, and other productivity tools to help your team work efficiently.
Is it possible to use Microsoft Office?
Yes, we offer flexidesktop options that include a Microsoft Office 2024 license for a small additional cost.
Can flexidesktop be joined to a custom Microsoft Entra domain?
Yes, this is possible, although it is not a fully supported scenario. Please submit a support ticket after purchasing flexidesktop, and we will assist with the necessary setup.
What is the provisioning time for a new flexidesktop?
Provisioning a new flexidesktop typically takes less than 5 minutes. However, depending on the availability of virtual desktops and the requested region, the time may vary.
Can I connect to the virtual desktop via VPN?
Yes, you can establish a VPN connection and access the virtual desktop using the free Microsoft Remote Desktop client. To request VPN access, submit a support ticket on the My Account page.
Can I have separate login credentials for admin and employees?
Yes, we can create separate login credentials for both admin and employee roles. Admin users have full access, while employees can be assigned restricted accounts, preventing them from making system changes or installing software. Please note that only one of these users can interact with the virtual desktop at the same time.
Can employees transfer data out of the virtual desktop?
Data transfers can be controlled by disabling copy/paste functions and blocking access to file-sharing platforms like Google Drive or OneDrive. Additional restrictions can be applied to specific websites at the firewall level.
Can I prevent employees from installing applications?
Yes, by assigning employees restricted user accounts, they will not be able to install software. However, they may still download and run files that don’t require installation.
Can you assist with setting up shared folders and applying Group Policies (GPOs) for our virtual desktops?
Absolutely! For businesses planning to deploy multiple virtual desktops, we can help with setting up shared folders on a server and applying Group Policies (GPOs) to manage your desktops effectively. Simply submit a support ticket through the My Account page with your specific needs, and our team will take care of the implementation for you.
What is your refund policy?
We offer a 30-day refund policy, applicable only to the first flexidesktop purchased. We recommend starting with a single flexidesktop and taking advantage of our 3-day free trial to ensure it meets your needs before committing.
Do you offer discounts for bulk purchases?
Yes! We provide volume discounts for architecture and design firms needing high-performance virtual desktops for multiple users. Contact us to explore cost-effective solutions for your team.
