Modern day design & engineering projects are complex, more complex than ever. Clients are demanding near real-time results, photorealistic images plus simulation data and pin-point accurate prototypes in record time; meaning businesses now rely on not just one, but typically a wealth of different software applications to get projects done. These modern software suites contain different software applications that all require different computer hardware specifications, making hardware configuration errors costly.
Some software is single-threaded, meaning it operates better on a single processor core. This makes multi-processor or multi-core workstations overkill as performance is driven by the actual processor clock speed (system GHz) and not the number of cores. Other software however can be multi-threaded; with operations running faster when spread over multiple processor cores. Here performance can be increased substantially by adding a second processor or more processor cores (as well as clock speed); making a dual processor workstation the optimal investment. Add in the complexities of professional 3D graphics, optimal memory configurations and data storage and you can easily see why configuring workstations is commonly seen as a daunting task. Cheap can be expensive, and choosing the right configuration for your needs is key to driving down business costs; delivering maximum return on investment through significantly reduced time to market and a much lower total cost of ownerships.
Lenovo understands this, and with the ThinkStation P series desktop and ThinkPad W series mobile workstations have created a portfolio of products that can deliver the perfect balance of price, performance and future proofing. Powered by Intel Xeon E3-1200v3 & Xeon E5-1600/2600v3 processors they don't just meet, but exceed the rigorous performance requirements of even the most demanding workflows, and are available to suit any size of budget. Choose Lenovo ThinkStation and do more with less, reduce your time to market and lower your total cost of ownership.
