Dell Precision workstations have been the world’s leading workstation brand for the last nine
years
1
and continue to deliver value to customers by combining relevant new technologies and
focusing on the core values of the product family. These are:
•
Performance
Providing relevant technologies design to drive applications as fast as possible
•
Application Focus
Working closely with the key software partners to ensure reliability and performance
through certification and excellent support.
•
Scalability
Designing systems that can scale with your application needs and company’s needs.
•
Managed for Business
Building our solutions around industry standards and helping simplify your IT
•
Optimized solutions
Recognizing the wide range of application areas for workstations and offering the
flexibility in our systems to help optimize them to suit our customers’ requirements
Dell partners with strategic Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) to certify system and
application compatibility so that applications can run gracefully on Dell Precision workstations.
Through rigorous testing, Dell also targets excellent compatibility and optimized performance in
demanding work environments such as Computer Aided Design (CAD), engineering, and
architecture, making the Dell Precision range a perfect platform for demanding workstation
users.
Dell Precision Tower Workstations
Dell Precision offers a broad range of tower workstations as part of the overall family.
Such a
broad range helps provide a wide choice ranging from ISV certified mainstream systems to
highly scalable flagship systems for the most demanding applications. The highly configurable
chassis options, including the T7500 that can be configured in over a billion different ways,
provide a platform, trusted by many, to run key applications gracefully.
These new tower workstations are built around the latest Intel® Xeon® architecture and offer
benefits of the Intel Nehalem technology including support for ECC memory and Direct Cache
Access (DCA), neither of which are typically found in standard business desktop systems. ECC
memory and DCA are not available with Intel® Core™ i7 processors and was a significant
factor in the choice of technologies for the latest range of tower workstations. The new
architecture results in low latency between memory and processor and helps provide excellent
overall workstation-class application performance and stability.
