When the Cloud Fails, Your Work Shouldn’t Stop
In recent days, thousands of engineers, designers, and architects around the world faced major service interruptions in cloud-based CAD software, caused by failures in a major cloud provider (AWS).
Projects were paused, licenses became inaccessible, and productivity plummeted — a clear reminder that complete cloud dependency can become a single point of failure.
While some professionals wait for services to recover, those using local or hybrid-licensed CAD solutions continue working seamlessly.
These platforms provide stability, predictability, and independence, empowering teams to stay productive regardless of connectivity issues.
At Aufiero Informática, we partner with brands that believe in technology with control.
Here are five solid alternatives that keep your work moving — even when the cloud goes down..
