Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI), Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS), and cloud workstation products share a category. Laridae approaches the problem differently: we start with a specific workflow and validate whether the technology actually fits it, rather than positioning the technology and leaving application fit to the customer.
The result is a structured early access programme that produces real data on whether a workflow is viable, rather than a provisioned environment with no workflow validation.
Current validation focus
Architecture, engineering, and construction
Federated BIM and model review
Demanding GPU-accelerated design software
Distributed team access scenarios
01 — Latency and responsiveness
Laridae
Evaluated per workflow in the actual session. We don't claim zero-latency — we validate the practical interactive feel.
Common alternatives
Often tested in controlled conditions without the real application load or input complexity.
02 — File and asset access
Laridae
Files live in the Library on the Bodega. Access is locked per Despacho session to prevent conflicts.
Common alternatives
Solutions vary widely: local sync, cloud drive mounts, network shares — each with different conflict and access behaviour.
03 — Application compatibility
Laridae
Validated by workflow rather than stated. We test the actual application against the real stack.
Common alternatives
Compatibility lists are common. Actual in-session behaviour under real project load varies.
04 — Licensing model
Laridae
The Bodega/Despacho model introduces specific seat and licence server questions. We validate per application.
Common alternatives
Licence handling is typically the customer's responsibility. Practical compatibility is rarely pre-evaluated.
05 — Device and peripheral input
Laridae
Mouse, keyboard, stylus, and peripheral input evaluated against the workflow. Input fidelity is a first-class concern.
Common alternatives
Standard input typically works. Stylus and peripheral fidelity at professional application level is less commonly validated.
