Product Features
Technical Overview
The workstation's compute architecture is centered on a single Intel Xeon w3-2423 processor. This hexa-core CPU operates at a base frequency of 2.10 GHz and supports Intel vPro technology for enhanced security and remote management capabilities in business environments.
Memory performance is driven by DDR5 SDRAM technology operating at 4800 MHz. The inclusion of Error-Correcting Code (ECC) and registered signal processing ensures data integrity and reliability for mission-critical applications. Eight memory slots allow significant future upgrades.
Storage is handled by a 512 GB solid-state drive using the PCI Express NVMe 4.0 x4 interface for exceptional read/write speeds. The storage controller supports NVMe and SATA drives concurrently and offers hardware RAID 0, 1, and 5 functionality for data redundancy or performance striping.
