Software Workload/Customer Need

This customer needed a powerful new workstation to handle their growing professional workload that would last a long time.

Design Rationale

  • The Xeon W5-3435X gave the customer a great amount of single-core performance for editing, and multicore performance for heavily-threaded tasks.
  • To ensure the CPU runs at full speed, liquid cooling with a 360mm liquid cooler is recommended.
  • The customer wanted a stable motherboard with excellent memory support. This board has onboard 10G, in case the SFP+ card fails.
  • The customer wanted 512GB of RAM. 256GB was considered, but the customer opted for higher capacity.
  • The customer requested a 2x4TB Gen4 NVME RAID1 for OS and a 5x8TB SSD RAID5 for main storage.
  • For managing the SSD RAID5, the customer requested a dedicated RAID card.
  • We recommended the RTX A5000 24GB for 10-bit color support, high general compute, and controlled power draw.
  • The overall design of the build meant that we recommended a 1200W power supply.
  • We used our regular full-tower case to fit the build.
  • We used our highest-end fans to ensure proper airflow and static pressure.
  • The customer requested a specific network card.
