A workstation is a special type of computer designed for technical or scientific applications, intended primarily to be used by a single user. Workstations are optimized for the visualization and manipulation of different types of complex data such as 3D mechanical design, engineering simulations like computational fluid dynamics, animation, medical imaging, image rendering, and mathematical plots. They are commonly connected to a local area network and run multi-user operating systems. Workstations are more capable than personal computers (PCs) but less advanced than servers, which can manage a large network of peripheral PCs or workstations and handle immense data-processing and reporting tasks. Workstations are designed to maximize the productivity of a user that’s gated by that productivity, in other words, someone for whom wasting time costs more than the difference in price between a workstation and a PC. Workstations are desktop PCs designed to handle demanding workflows such as data science, 3D design, video editing, and engineering. They are more robust than typical PCs, with enhanced specs like a faster CPU and GPU, more memory, increased storage, software certification, and the ability to withstand constant usage. Workstations use ECC Memory that can spot and fix data corruption without interrupting sensitive processes. Workstations can scale as you need more memory and processing speed, and most components are interchangeable, so people can build the exact system they need for maximum performance.
