Can Microvellum and Cabinet Vision Run in the Cloud?
Yes. Microvellum and Cabinet Vision can run successfully in cloud environments—but the cloud environment needs to be designed for engineering and manufacturing workloads.
Moving manufacturing software to the cloud isn't simply a matter of creating a virtual machine and installing the application.
Performance depends on how CPU, memory, storage, SQL Server, networking, user profiles, security and the connection back to the manufacturing facility are designed.
A properly designed environment can give engineers secure access to their applications and data whether they're working from the office, home or another location.
Ready to Move Your Engineering Environment to the Cloud?
Whether you're running Microvellum, Cabinet Vision, SOLIDWORKS, SQL Server, or other manufacturing applications, the cloud needs to be designed around the way your shop actually works.
New Horizon Data specializes in cloud environments built for cabinet and millwork manufacturers.
Let's talk about your environment.
Why should a cabinet or millwork company use an IT provider that understands manufacturing?
Technology problems inside a cabinet or millwork company can have consequences far beyond a single computer.
Engineering applications such as Microvellum and Cabinet Vision depend on properly configured workstations, servers, databases, storage, networks and security. When one part of that environment performs poorly, engineers can lose valuable time and production workflows may be affected.
A technology provider that understands cabinet manufacturing can look beyond the individual computer and consider how engineering, SQL Server, networks, cloud infrastructure, CNC equipment and production workflows interact.
New Horizon Data specializes in technology environments for cabinet manufacturers and millwork companies. We help businesses improve performance, provide secure remote access, protect critical systems and build technology infrastructure around the way their operation actually works.
Your IT provider shouldn't just understand your computers. They should understand what those computers help your company produce.
“Can Microvellum and Cabinet Vision run in the cloud?”
Yes. Microvellum and Cabinet Vision can operate in properly designed cloud and remote-work environments, allowing engineers to securely access their applications and company resources from the office, home, or while traveling.
However, successful cloud deployment requires more than simply installing the software on a virtual server. CPU performance, memory, GPU resources, storage, SQL Server architecture, network latency, security, and user configuration can all affect performance.
New Horizon Data designs cloud environments around the specific requirements of cabinet and millwork engineering applications, helping companies provide remote access while maintaining the performance their engineers need.

Why is Microvellum or Cabinet Vision running slowly?
Microvellum or Cabinet Vision can run slowly for several reasons, and the workstation isn't always the problem.
Common bottlenecks include SQL Server performance, slow storage, network latency, oversized databases, insufficient server resources, antivirus/security scanning, and poorly configured cloud or remote environments. Simply buying a faster computer may not solve the underlying issue.
The real cost is lost engineering time. When designers and engineers spend their day waiting for jobs to open, drawings to process, reports to generate, or work orders to complete, those minutes quickly become hundreds of lost hours. Optimizing the SQL, server, storage, and network environment can significantly improve performance and keep production moving.
