Server administration takes resources
Maintenance, upgrades and hardware require time and expertise. A managed cloud solution moves server operations out of your own environment, with clearly agreed responsibilities.
Control your product data. Reduce on-premises administration.
Vault Cloud
Autodesk Vault in the cloud. Secure access to product data without running your own servers.
Maintain control of drawings, models and revisions – and move your server environment to the cloud. Cadnor helps you choose, establish and manage a solution that meets the needs of engineering, IT and the rest of your business.
Free up time spent on server administration
Why Vault Cloud?
Product data needs to be available when your team needs it. On-premises operation can make both IT and engineering dependent on servers, networks and procedures that require ongoing attention.
Backups must be recoverable
A copy is not enough if the data cannot be restored when it matters. Procedures for backup, retention and recovery must be agreed as part of the delivery.
VPN and connectivity create friction
Unstable connections and cumbersome access can slow down work outside the office. The network and connection method must be tailored to work locations, file sizes and Vault clients.
Security requires ongoing attention
Access, updates and responsibilities must be aligned. We clarify security requirements with IT rather than treating the cloud as an automatic guarantee of security.
Different locations work on different copies
When departments maintain their own archives, keeping revisions together becomes harder. A shared Vault environment provides a single, controlled data foundation across locations.
Needs change
More users, larger models and new integrations place different demands on capacity. The right platform makes it easier to plan further development without starting with a new on-premises server.
Vault – with a different operating model
What is Vault Cloud?
Vault Cloud is Cadnor’s delivery of Autodesk Vault as a managed cloud solution. The Vault server runs on a cloud platform, while users work with Vault and supported CAD tools as part of their usual workflows.
You get a shared environment for product data without running your own on-premises Vault server. The value lies in the combination of controlled information, a tailored operational setup and a partner that considers engineering and IT together.
Vault Cloud is not a separate Autodesk product or a browser-based version of Vault. The Vault edition, clients and licences are selected according to your needs. Operations, backup, security, connectivity and service levels are specified in the agreement.
Two options. Your needs determine the choice.
Choose the right solution
We assess usage patterns, data volumes, IT requirements and integrations before recommending a platform. Both options can be delivered with Vault Basic or Vault Professional.
Vault Azure
Suitable for businesses with demanding performance, security and scalability requirements.
Delivered on Microsoft Azure in partnership with AGS. We assess capacity, networking and security configuration against your engineering environment and future growth needs.
For businesses that need a platform tailored to more demanding requirements.

Vault ServeTheWorld
Suitable for smaller businesses looking for a simpler, cost-effective solution.
Delivered on a Virtual Private Server (VPS) in partnership with ServeTheWorld. An option when you want Vault in the cloud without needing a more extensive Azure setup.
For smaller teams looking to reduce on-premises server administration.

From CAD to production
Integrations
The cloud changes where Vault is hosted—not the need for connected product data. Vault Cloud can be part of the same digital value chain as an on-premises Vault environment.
- 01
CAD
Engineering develops models, drawings and technical documentation.
- 02
Vault Cloud
Product data is consolidated, revisions are controlled and documentation is released.
- 03
PLM
Changes, quality and approvals are coordinated across departments.
- 04
ERP
Controlled items and bills of materials provide the basis for purchasing and planning.
- 05
Manufacturing
Current documentation follows the product into production.
Vault can also connect directly to ERP. Integrations are separate deliverables: system compatibility, networking, data ownership, licences and transfer rules are defined and tested before use.
