About the Philosophy of our ZEISS Microscope System Computers
In 2016, ZEISS offers a number of capable workstation computers in all popular price classes which can
be used in standalone, or in a networked configuration.
The common philosophy is to offer selected components with maximum data safety and good
performance. The systems can run 24/7. Optional components allow to expand the working memory, fast
OS file swap/transfer, storage and networking. Also, since 2016, we offer Cuda compatible graphics
boards.
The system installation and OS is located on a redundant RAID on most of our computers. In case the
speed of the RAID is not optimal for OS file swap/transfer, a fast PCIe or M.2 SSD is included to speed up
processing performance.
With the introduction of the Z240 basis workstation, all computers allow to install a fast 10 GbE network
connection for streaming and data exchange.
Storage computers are available as dedicated storage PCs (36TB RAID, up to 3x 10 GbE plus 1x 1GbE), or
as upgraded Z840 workstations (max. 12TB HDD, 1x 10 GbE and 2x 1 GbE).
Nvidia Quadro M4000 graphics boards (8GB VRAM) with Cuda compatibility for fast deconvolution
processing are available as an upgrade for older FirePro graphics boards.
