NEW YORK, February 01, (BUSINESS WIRE)--One Equity Partners ("OEP") today announced that it has completed the sale of Computer Design and Integration LLC ("CDI" or the "Company") to AHEAD, a leading provider of digital platforms for data, AI, infrastructure, and software development. Our team of experts make up a diverse, comprehensive consultancy group focused on utilizing CDI’s best-in-class portfolio to build custom roadmaps for our clients. In a world that is constantly evolving due to new and emerging threats, CDI Security Solutions marries its strength in infrastructure, DevOps, and digital transformation with security.

Frequently Asked Questions about Software Design

This system is going to be one of the best value-for-money CAD computers on this list and is suitable for most users. The system also comes with a good number of USB ports on the rear, plus 3 on the front side despite its small form factor. Tying with the next option for the cheapest engineering and CAD workstation computer on this list, the HP Envy is a great option for students and those on a budget.

Your CAD Workstation Computer: Design and Engineering Requirements

I built up a mid-range computer with their online configuration tool, a very easy experience. I was impressed with the value for money offered, with my design being for a mid-high-end system that sits around the midpoint of other systems in this list. The Intel Xeon processor is built for CAD loads, with 16 cores and 32 hyper threads it's capable of some serious multitasking. The individual core speeds are not particularly high due to a large number of cores on the processor - so if your work primarily requires single-thread performance, it might not be the best option. That being said, most engineering applications that need a lot of processing power will take full advantage of the extra cores.

Java Programming: Principles of Software Design

"We were extremely pleased with CDI’s growth and performance during our investment. Partnering with management, we were able to execute several initiatives that not only allowed CDI to do more business, but to do business better," said Charlie Cole, Partner at OEP. "These included expanding CDI’s service offerings in key areas like cybersecurity and cloud, driving international expansion to India, the UK and Ireland and strengthening relationships with key partners to sharpen CDI’s service to clients across the globe." CDI was founded in 1995, with corporate headquarters in New York City, as well as office locations in Teterboro, N.J., Boston and Atlanta. The firm has been recognized as one of the nation’s top 500 IT solution providers offering clients and businesses of all sizes the most up-to-date hybrid IT technology solutions that solve today’s most complex business challenges.

Software Engineering: Software Design and Project Management

I have every port on my computer full, plus 8 ports of USB hub maxed out if I’m debugging hardware. "OEP was instrumental in helping us drive sustained growth over the past four years through a strategy that combined organic and inorganic growth initiatives," said Rich Falcone, CEO and President of CDI. "The firm’s business development expertise, deep industry insight and extensive network of relationships were essential in positioning CDI to begin this next chapter with AHEAD." As the digital economy evolves, CDI is prepared to protect our customers’ most critical assets. For many, this means creating a comprehensive security strategy built on a solid digital foundation.

The number of cores makes this great for a CAD workstation computer running simulations and mechanical CAD work. For this computer, I specified the NVIDIA Geforce RTX 2070 over the Radeon, as it’s only a little more expensive and most CAD software understands NVIDIA CUDA cores better. CUDA is a fairly well-established and mature technology, whereas the Radeon cores are newer and less widely implemented at this point in time. If you don’t need much graphics power (such as for Altium Designer®  use only), then consider the next CAD workstation computer option, without the more powerful/expensive graphics card that the Special Edition is offered. “CDI provides its customers with the right tools to implement an effective IT strategy through fully leveraging the cloud to create a seamless user experience and comply with enterprise and data security standards,” added Carlo Padovano, a Managing Director at OEP.

However, in reality, it is a much older and less capable graphics card than the NVIDIA RTX series we see in the two Dell options. This level of performance is perfectly fine as a CAD workstation computer for Altium Designer and moderate complexity MCAD models, but I wouldn’t want to be using it for rendering graphics or video. Last year I wrote about buying a laptop or components to build a desktop computer but did not cover pre-built computers. This year we have updated those articles and are also going to be looking at the best pre-built computers for CAD workstations, for things like design, engineering, and hardware development in general. While building a CAD workstation computer is going to allow you to use the latest technology and get the best value for your money - a pre-built computer from a global brand will typically offer you excellent support and a warranty. For a business, the ability to simply unbox a computer for CAD drawing, install software and start using it has a lot of merits.

How does CDI build your security solutions?

We develop future-oriented products and services to ensure that we provide our customers with the best next-gen solutions for their business. We can help your organization select, integrate, and manage the right mix of public and private edge computing infrastructure services to meet the needs of both traditional and modern applications. Our portfolio of digital solutions is constantly expanding, helping customers deliver cross-enterprise workflows that connect people, functions, and systems. I love the fact that the higher-speed USB ports are on the front, allowing easy access to high-speed USB flash drives or external storage you can plug right in. “We are excited to partner with OEP, a firm with a deep understanding of the IT consulting sector that is exceptionally well-positioned to help us identify new organic and inorganic opportunities supporting our continued growth in North America and elsewhere,” said Eric Bakker, President of CDI. We work with over 200 of the world’s top technology companies, and hold the highest level certifications and partnership levels with giants like VMware, Arctic Wolf, Zscaler, Crowdstrike, and more.

None of these computers come with a display or any peripherals; those are an added expense and should be chosen to best suit your requirements and needs. Nice to have including a case with multiple USB 3.0 connectors as well as audio connectors on the front panel and lots of USB ports on the back. Engineers, especially electronics engineers, tend to have a whole lot of USB devices plugged into their computers for CAD drawing at once!

It comes with the same 8-core Intel Core i processor, but it is a lower-cost option due to the NVIDIA RTX 2060 graphics card, which is a step down from the NVIDIA RTX 2070 above. 2060 is more than sufficient for Altium as well as CAD models in Solidworks or Fusion 360/Inventor that are not complex assemblies. During OEP’s ownership, CDI saw revenue increase more than 165% via organic growth and an acquisition strategy, including the transformational acquisition of High Availability, a premier IT solution provider and integrator, in January 2021. The Company expanded into new geographic markets and made substantial investments in its services capabilities and its employees. The hybrid cloud computing market is expected to total more than $700 billion by 2023 at a compound annual growth rate of 20 percent as deployment of multi-cloud networks continues, according to industry data. The actual configuration will depend on where you buy it, however, the configuration listed below makes this a very competitively priced pre-built computer with a lot of power.

I’m a big fan of the multiple USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports on the front panel, as well as having a moderate number of USB ports on the back. If you need a low-cost ISV-certified system for your CAD applications, the HP Z2 Tower G4 might be a great option for you. However, if ISV certification is not required (such as for Altium Designer), you can get better value for money without the NVIDIA Quadro P2200. Whether you need support when it comes to cyber insurance, data protection and recovery, Pen Testing, gap assessments, managed endpoint, or, really, anything else – we have you covered. The IT world is constantly under siege from malicious actors, now coming from every corner of the globe.
