Horizon 8A5402 - Dual Processor Xeon Workstation
Starting at $1,510.00
|
Features and Benefits
We threw all possible features into our 8A5402 workstation. This system features the latest expansion technology with two 16x PCI-Express Gen2 slots. Gen2 opens the door to QDR (quad data rate) InfiniBand, and the newest high performance video cards. If you need more than one video card, this chassis has plenty of room for it, and more. If this seems like a little much for a workstation, it can also be mounted in a rack cabinet for more traditional cluster use.
Our knowledgeable sales and technical staff will walk you through the process of determining if this system is right for you. This includes: understanding your application, heating and cooling challenges, space requirements, software and management needs. Knowledge of your application and requirements will help us serve you better, and ensure that you get the perfect Horizon workstation.
Need pricing? Go to our configuration tab for all of your options and we'll get you pricing right away, and don't hesitate to give us a call or email. We are always glad to help!
