BUSINESS CLASS SERVERS - All of our computers and servers are designed to provide maximum performance and reliability, and yet be cost-effective, cool and quiet. The applications, number of users, features required, performance expected, redundancy, security requirements, budget, etc, all need to be taken into account to determine the best system to satisfy your needs.
FEATURES:
- CASES - Sturdy, well ventilated, large fans, designed to shield electromagnetic interference (EMI, RFI)
- CPU - Lower power consumption, lower temperature, quieter fans
- MOTHERBOARD - Lower power consumption, stable power design, single and multi-processor models available
- MEMORY - Larger capacity, faster speeds, optional ECC RAM that detects and correct errors, lifetime warranty
- POWER SUPPLY - Lower temperature, quiet fans, full electrical protection, optional redundant power supplies
- HARD DRIVES - High capacities, larger buffers, dual processor technology, faster 6 Gb/s interface, best-in-class reliability, award winning performance and reliability benchmarks, 5-year warranty
You may want to upgrade to redundant enterprise-class SATA or SSD drives in a RAID configuration to prevent data loss, and ensure high performance and longevity. The 600GB VelociRaptor hard drive is the largest 10,000 RPM SATA drive ever, and the fastest SATA hard drive on the planet.
Don't forget you'll need a UPS (uninterruptible power supply) or AVR (automatic voltage regulator).
Some common uses for servers are an application server, a database server, a file server, a print server, a web server, or a combination of these.
WORKSTATIONS - A desktop workstation is usually designed primarily for the office or workshop. They often run standard office and financial applications and databases both locally and remotely. They can be used as a smart terminal allowing concurrent use of local programs and access to a distant terminal host system or server. These usually have onboard graphics.
PROFESSIONAL WORKSTATIONS - A professional desktop workstation is designed primarily for running technical or scientific applications typically used by scientists and engineers, although people who process graphics (Photoshop) may also find a professional workstation necessary, since the high end CPU and GPU processors and cards can handle the huge amounts of data associated with graphic files.
These offer higher performance than most personal computers, especially with respect to CPU and graphics, memory capacity and multitasking capability. They are optimized for the visualization and manipulation of different types of complex data such as 3D mechanical design, engineering simulation (e.g. computational fluid dynamics), animation and rendering of images and mathematical plots. Graphics cards alone can cost a few thousand dollars.
Consoles usually consist of a high resolution display, a keyboard and a mouse at minimum, but may also offer multiple displays, graphics tablets, 3D mice (devices for manipulating and navigating 3D objects and scenes), etc.
