- 70TB of shared design data, live and identical in Perth and Melbourne
- Large Revit models that open with zero latency, wherever you are
- Built with dual redundancy and server failover, so nothing is a single point of failure
Before and after
Where they were. Where they are now.
A national architecture practice cannot afford two versions of the truth. A model worked on in Perth has to be the same model opened in Melbourne, right now, at full size.
Before:
Design data split across offices, large Revit files that crawled or copied overnight and version confusion whenever two studios touched the same project. Collaboration that meant waiting, or worse, working on a stale copy.
After:
A single shared 70TB data set, live in both offices with zero latency, so a Perth architect and a Melbourne architect work the same massive model at the same time, on infrastructure built with dual redundancy and failover.
The Invisible Win
The best collaboration tool is the one nobody notices.
The obvious win is speed. The one that changes the practice is that distance stopped mattering, two studios that now behave like one, on the same files, with nobody thinking about where the data lives.
- A model opened in Melbourne behaves exactly as it does in Perth
- No overnight copies, no stale versions, no waiting on a file to load
- Redundancy and failover working quietly underneath, so a fault never becomes a stoppage
“For a national practice, the network is not plumbing. It is whether Perth and Melbourne are really working on the same building.”
70 terabytes, two cities, and no perceptible distance between them.
cimply designed and delivered the shared infrastructure behind Hunt Architects’ national studios. A single 70TB data set is presented live and identical in Perth and Melbourne, so large-format Revit models open with zero latency in either office and two teams can collaborate on the same file in real time. Underneath it, the environment is built to stay up. Dual redundancy and server failover mean there is no single point of failure, so the day a component fails is a day nobody in either studio notices. The result is a practice that works as one, wherever the architect happens to be sitting.

Two studios, one model, no distance in between.
For Hunt Architects, national no longer means fragmented. Perth and Melbourne work on the same files at the same speed, on infrastructure built to keep them there.
Your business deserves the same outcome.
Every case study we publish is the same story. A business carrying the weight of its own technology, and a team that finally put it down. If that sounds familiar, let’s talk.
