- Request
- Rolling out the BIM 360 cloud platform, a developer was worried about service interruptions: the product was young at the time, and a day of construction downtime was unacceptable.
- Challenge
- Project files are stored in a tree with long folder and file names that together exceed Microsoft file share limits. Backups have to crawl terabytes of data, and the Autodesk cloud is rate-limited.
- Solution
- A solution on S3 MinIO that copies and updates data in multi-threaded mode, plus a web console to access the data.
- Result · Business continuity
- Backups cut the downtime of the team that delivers project documentation to construction sites to 1 hour. Over 2 years, at least three incidents helped the company save around $300,000.
