MAITLAND, Fla., July 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Cuhaci Peterson, a nationally recognized architecture and engineering firm specializing in grocery and retail design, is transforming its operations by utilizing NVIDIA virtual GPU (vGPU) technology and RTX™ Virtual Workstation deployed via Microsoft Azure. Featured in a recent NVIDIA customer story, the firm highlighted how cloud-based GPU power is breaking geographic boundaries, empowering remote talent and accelerating design innovation.
CP’s current solution includes NVIDIA A10-powered NVadsA10v5-series virtual machines running on Azure. Each machine features 36 cores and 880 GB of RAM, providing the necessary horsepower for graphics-intensive applications like Autodesk Revit and AutoCAD.
CP’s Director of Information Technology, Rakesh Carpenter, provided an exclusive, inside look at the company’s tech shift in a recent interview with NVIDIA.
“Before implementing NVIDIA virtual GPUs, we were limited to hiring talent near our physical offices,” Carpenter explains. “Now we can recruit specialized expertise nationwide. For example, refrigeration engineers are in short supply in the Orlando area, so we’ve been recruiting talent from Kansas, the Carolinas and Texas.”
As far as what is to come, Carpenter added, “Our next iteration of VDI will focus on application optimization.” “When we first deployed, every user received the same resources and software. We are now implementing discipline-specific resource allocation, so structural engineers, project architects and other specialists only see the tools relevant to their work,” he continued.
