Whether you're creating 3D animations, interactive environments, high-definition video or architectural models, the needs of professional digital artists are changing rapidly. You're working with richer, more complex data while being asked to create more material in less time at a lower cost. The evolving digital landscape means that HD broadcast content and stereoscopic 3D, for example, have become commonplace; and every step forward in technology means greater demands on your business. Of course, it also means more creative possibilities; more chances to produce outstanding, memorable work.
The opportunities and hurdles of the modern creative industry mean that the equipment you choose for your business has more impact on your ability to produce compelling content than ever before – and none more so than the computer you use every day. The simplest route to finding a computer that's a match for your needs is to choose one labelled a workstation – which is simply the generally recognised term for a computer designed to handle large amounts of data and present on-screen graphics in a rich and accurate form. Where a PC is general-purpose, a workstation is purpose-built.
A workstation is designed for individual use, like a PC, but delivers a level of performance significantly beyond the needs of a typical user: the performance a creative professional with deadlines to meet depends upon. Workstations and PCs look similar inside and outside, but a workstation's components are tuned to make the software you use every day run faster and smoother, potentially saving you hours over the course of each project. Just as the price of general-use PCs has fallen over the past decade, workstations have also become more affordable, making a pro-grade system an even more attractive proposition.
Scan offers an extensive range of workstation configurations as part of its 3XS system range. Each workstation is carefully tailored for a particular balance of requirements; and, of course, you can customise each configuration to suit your needs more precisely.
