For architecture and engineering

Managed remote workstations

Computle is a global workstation platform. One dedicated machine per person, reached from our app or our device.

Three steps to a
working machine

From choosing a spec to someone sitting down and working on it.

Step one

Pick the spec.

Pick a tier off the list, or tell us what they run and we will spec it for you.

No quotes to chase, no capex case to write, no lead time to plan around.

Step two

Download the app, or plug in the device.

Either the app, on a machine they already own, or the Computle Device. Windows, Mac and iPad.

No tower is delivered, and nobody spends a morning imaging it before they can start.

Step three

Sign in, and it is there.

A normal Windows desktop, with their applications and their files where they left them.

People work from any desk as project moves dictate, without a tower or a laptop being carried across the office.

What you get

A Windows PC, one per person.

Its own graphics card, its own processor and its own disk. Nobody else is on it, it runs 24/7, and your software installs the way it always has.

What it is like to use

One central portal.

Every machine in one list. Install software on them, patch them, see which ones are struggling, and hand one to somebody else when a person leaves.

Look inside the portal

An end to end service.

We specify it, build it, keep it running and replace it at renewal. There is nothing for you to buy, own, insure or dispose of.

How the whole life works

Practices that made
the move

Colleagues outside an office building
Mainland China

Served from Beijing.

One of the world’s most recognised practices runs its Beijing studio on Computle. No other provider serves the market.

Off shared VDI

One machine each, not a slice.

A Stirling Prize-winning practice moved off shared VDI to 60 dedicated RTX 5090 workstations.

An open studio floor
A global workforce

One estate, two countries.

A leading design firm replaced scattered storage and underpowered laptops with workstations in New York and the UK.

Leaving an MSP

Data sovereignty, in house.

An architecture practice left its managed service provider behind and now runs 55 seats of its own.

Put the machines
where your people are

We run our own sites in the UK, the United States, Canada, Hong Kong and mainland China. A machine is built in the country you choose, so the people using it are close to it wherever they are.

Security that is part
of the machine

How we secure it →
Zero trust

Every request is checked. Never trust, always verify.

Multi-factor sign-in

Hardware keys and multi-factor authentication on every remote access session.

Dedicated hardware

One machine, one person. No shared graphics card, no shared disk.

Your own identity

People sign in with the accounts your practice already runs.

What it costs,
and what it replaces

A seat, per month, with the hardware, the building, the power and the replacement in it. Nothing is bought, so nothing is depreciated and nothing has to be disposed of.
