ACC always on Autodesk servers?

Is there a way to setup ACC on our own servers in a datacenter, or should it always be on Autodesk servers?

If on Autodesk servers: Is there automatically taken care of Backups etc?

Is there anyone using ACC, or are these just stupid questions?

ACC is a cloud based solution offered by Autodesk. Autodesk provides the servers. I don't know if Revit Server is still a thing but that would be a WAN solution to put on your servers.

If you are talking about the kind of back-ups that IT would do for your servers, I would be surprised if there wasn't some sort verbiage in the EULA about that. Probably something to the extent of exemplifying them of any damage incurred by loss of data. They probably have very good back-up plans of some sort in the case of catastrophe so that they can recover in case of emergency but I would be surprised if the didn't wave all financial responsibility.

 

ACC does a lot of versioning of processes done on the cloud, if that is what you are referring to.

@RSomppi 

Thank you for the reply

 

Matter is we use Vault Pro and inventor + Plant 3d projects.

Managment is trying to put it all in datacenters.

 

Vault server in  datacenter should be OK, but what about plant 3D. Should we use ACC for that, or can it be put in a datacenter as well?

If we must go the ACC path, what's in there for Vault/inventor users? Do they benifit from ACC too?

 

Many Thanks, Johan

Sorry, I can't help you any further than what I've already said.

Both Inventor and Plant 3D can be on ACC.  Plant 3D works natively with ACC.  Inventor will need a bit of setup and a workflow to work in ACC correctly.  Do not use Plant 3D in a datacenter if you expect the latency to be higher than 25ms, or you will corrupt your SQL databases.

We have our vault on our local servers still. I can't imagine the headache that would ensue trying to use desktop connector to open and manage inventor project plus you loose all the benefits of having vault pro. I would suggest keeping the vault local.
We are a construction company so we have a lot of civil3d, revit, infraworks, and recap projects that are all hosted in ACC and work great. But I'm still reluctant to move the seamless process of Inventor projects in the Vault to anything other than the vault. Desktop connector is too unreliable yet.
Hope that helps.

We use Vault from home too, and we do not need Desktop connector or alike. What do you mean exactly?

What functionality would you loose from Vault pro if moved to a datacenter?

 

The only concern I make: Who is managing the backups, who is doing the Vault upgrades, What about the speed/performance.

Whomever is hosting your server in a data center would look after backups.  Likely you would be responsible for upgrades.  Speed is entirely dependent on the distance from your office to the data center in terms of internet routing.  We always maintained accelerator servers in our offices with our main server in a data center and had no issues.  If you intend not to have any servers in your office whatsoever you might have performance issues.
