About VHB

VHB is a leading multi-disciplinary civil engineering firm with nearly 2,000 employees spread across 30 office locations. They manage large-scale, high-stakes projects for major clients like state departments of transportation, where project success is paramount to maintaining the firm's sterling reputation and securing future work.

The Challenge

The sudden shift to remote work presented an existential threat to productivity. VHB’s engineers rely on graphically intensive CAD and GIS applications that cannot be run effectively over a standard home internet connection. The challenge was not just to enable remote access, but to replicate the power of an office workstation in 2,000 home offices, immediately, without sacrificing performance.

The Solution

Leveraging our expertise in cloud architecture and engineering, Infused Innovations rapidly designed and deployed a solution of nearly 2,000 GPU-backed virtual desktops. We built an environment to handle massive CAD and GIS files efficiently and ensured the solution honored existing project workflows. This was a complete, end-to-end deployment to move their entire workforce to a secure, high-performance remote model.

The Results

VHB experienced zero downtime or loss of productivity during the transition. The firm-wide virtual desktop solution successfully empowered their entire 2,000-person team to continue their critical engineering work from home seamlessly. This technological agility allowed them to meet every client deadline and project requirement, turning a potential crisis into a showcase of resilience.

From Crisis to a Model of Modern Resilience

This partnership provided VHB with the critical infrastructure needed to operate without interruption in the face of a global crisis. The solution not only solved the immediate challenge but also established a modern, flexible, and secure foundation for the future of their work.

Firm-Wide Deployment

We deployed a secure, high-performance virtual desktop solution for nearly 2,000 engineers, enabling an immediate and seamless shift to remote work.

High-Performance

The GPU-backed virtual desktops provided the power needed to run massive CAD and GIS files, replicating office-level performance from any location.
