What actually is Autodesk BIM 360?
Well it is Autodesk’s unified platform connecting all project teams and organisations with means of accessing real-time information. Such as organisations managing their design information internally, design information during construction, and operations information throughout the life-cycle of an asset. (e.g. buildings, highways infrastructure, plant, etc)
This is supported with the integration. Here are some of the following solutions:
BIM 360 Docs – Cloud based electronic document management.
BIM 360 Design – Real-time Revit cloud worksharing and collaboration workflows for Civil 3D and Plan 3D
BIM 360 Collaboration – Automated multi discipline model coordination and clash reviewing
BIM 360 Build – Tracking performance out in the field, improve construction quality control and safety programs
Where is all you’re data hosted?
Autodesk has two data centres located in the USA and Republic of Ireland (Europe).
I would recommend reading the Europe data centre FAQ’s page on the Autodesk Knowledge Network if you are in a customer in AMEA regen.

Before you get started I would recommend checking out the supported web browser, devices and operating systems and servers on Autodesk Knowledge Network – System Requirements. It is recommended you use Google Chrome when using BIM 360.
