Peace of Mind Through ISV Application Certification

Dell partners with leading Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) to certify system and application

compatibility to help ensure flawless compatibility and optimized performance in demanding workstation

environments. And, to assure access to the latest productivity enhancing technology solutions, Dell invests

in the workstation ISV community by providing the hardware platforms needed to further multithreaded

application development. By maintaining strong relationships with software developers, Dell engineers

can provide you with ongoing optimization and support, should you need them.

Your work isn’t entry level, so why

consider a workstation that delivers

anything less than advanced levels of

performance? With the Dell Precision

390 you don’t have to. Experience the

power, scalability, and reliability

you’ve been dreaming about with a

system that’s specifically designed for

professionals as demanding as their

complex applications.
