Private hosting · architecture & construction

Your models shouldn't share a server with a stranger's blog.

Illustras is private, dedicated hosting built for the work AEC firms actually run: BIM central files, point clouds, render queues and multi-gigabyte coordination models. The whole machine, tuned to your workload, yours alone. Open the 4 GB model in seconds, from the site, the studio, or the lounge.

What you get

The whole machine. Tuned to the way your firm actually works.

01

The whole machine, not a slice

Single-tenant hardware. Nothing competes for I/O when your render queue spins up at 2am. There's no one else on the box.

02

Built for your files

Tuned for Revit worksharing, V-Ray, Navisworks and point-cloud pipelines. Built by people who understand a central file, not a generic VM template.

03

Your IP stays yours

Isolated, encrypted and auditable. Your drawings are the firm's most valuable asset. They never sit on shared hardware next to strangers.

04

One fast place to work, anywhere

Studio, site, or airport. Your whole team works on the same fast, private machine. No syncing, no waiting, no "it's still loading."

The cost of shared tenancy

On public cloud you rent a sliver of a machine you'll never see, beside tenants you'll never know. And then you pay the egress bill to get your own files back. When their workload spikes, your render waits. That's not where the firm's most valuable asset should live.

Illustras vs public cloud

Hyperscalers are built for everyone. That's the problem.

The team behind it

You design the buildings. We engineer the infrastructure underneath them.

Think of us as the structural engineer for your IT: a small, dedicated team that speaks Revit worksharing and point-cloud pipelines, not a 400-service console and a queue in another timezone.

We host a deliberately small number of firms, so the people who build your environment are the same people who answer when you call.

How it works

Moving over is our job, not yours.

Talk to an engineer

We map your workloads, files and the way your studio works: Revit, render, CAD, the lot. No sales script.

We build & migrate

Your private environment is provisioned and tuned, and your data moved across. All handled for you, with zero downtime.

Your studio just works

Everyone works on one fast, private machine, from anywhere. We keep it running; you keep designing.

Why private hosting for AEC

Built to tolerance.

Architecture and construction firms run some of the heaviest, most sensitive workloads in professional services, and almost all of it ends up on infrastructure designed for software startups and e-commerce. Generic cloud treats a 4 GB Revit central file the same as a product thumbnail, and it shows: long open times, contested I/O during a render, and egress fees every time you need your own coordination model back.

Illustras takes the opposite approach. Every firm gets dedicated, single-tenant hardware, tuned specifically for BIM, point-cloud and rendering pipelines, isolated so your intellectual property never shares a machine with anyone else. It's the same discipline you bring to a building: precise, accountable, engineered for the load it actually has to carry. Now applied to the infrastructure your work lives on.
