In the near future, Altium NEXUS will offer a server of its own (cloud-hosted, or on-premise flavors of an 'Altium NEXUS Server') that will expose new capabilities for collaboration, data management, and process management. There is no additional charge to customers who are on active maintenance subscriptions, and as stated above, the schematic and PCB capabilities, and user interface of Altium NEXUS and Altium Designer 18.0 are identical.Īs a standalone product, Altium Vault 3.0 will be our last release with new capabilities, yet the Vault technology will continue to evolve and advance as a core part of Altium NEXUS. Customers and users of the Vault can switch to Altium NEXUS and connect seamlessly to their existing Vault with full data integrity and preservation of capabilities. The core schematic and PCB design technology of NEXUS is identical to that of Altium Designer 18.0, sharing 100% of the design capabilities - now and always.Īs such, Altium Designer 18.0 and beyond will no longer connect to an Altium Vault. Altium NEXUS will include cloud-enabled server technology to support collaboration, process management, and data management, hosted in either public or private (on-premise) environments.
