Workstations

Workstations built for the job in front of them

A render node, a compile machine and a simulation box want different things. These configurations start from the workload rather than from a price bracket.

If the workload is unusual, tell us about it

The configurations above cover common cases. If your software has specific requirements (certified drivers, ECC memory, a particular accelerator, a fixed rack depth) send the details and we will build the parts list around them rather than around a template.

Send the requirements

Matching parts to work

What each workload actually needs

Rendering and video export

Scales with cores, and then with memory bandwidth. A high-core processor with fast DDR5 usually beats a higher-clocked part with fewer cores.

Compilation and CI

Parallel builds are core-hungry and I/O-hungry at the same time. Separate NVMe drives for the OS and the working tree keep one from starving the other.

Simulation and large datasets

Memory capacity first. A job that fits in RAM finishes; a job that spills to disk takes an order of magnitude longer, whatever the processor is.

Virtualisation

Cores and memory to divide, plus enough M.2 and SATA capacity to give each machine its own storage rather than contending for one drive.

These are general engineering principles, not benchmark claims. Where a specific application behaves differently we will say so rather than guess.
