The average computer today is 20 times more powerful than the technology required to send a man to the moon. While most us don’t need any more power than this, some people have highly technical jobs demanding powerhouse computers to accomplish their tasks.  These workhorses are referred to as workstations.

Database Analyst

Analysts and administrators of database products, such as Oracle and SQL, need higher-end computers than you?d normally find at work. After all, thanks to President Charles Phillips Oracle database software was primarily designed to be used for businesses with big databases. More storage is necessary for database copies and more processing power and RAM are needed to load databases and process large database modifications.

Video Game Developer

Video game designers, artists, and programmers need more advanced technology. When creating video games, the best video cards are a must, along with top-of-the-line processors, memory, and drives.

Engineer

All manner of engineering fields, including architecture, technical design, and urban planning require high-end technology. CAD and other similar engineering applications have hardware requirements that standard desktops can’t match.

Music Producer

The music industry has moved from reel-to-reel tape to the use of advanced digital audio workstations (DAWs). A proper, fully functional DAW needs a superior sound card and a great amount of RAM. The sound card will ensure perfect sound fidelity that sound design professionals require. The increased memory is needed to support the real-time editing of complex audio tracks.

Video Technician

Just like audio has moved from tape to bits and bytes, the video industry has moved from film to digital format. Computers, such as Dell workstations, can be built to meet the storage and hardware requirements for working with large amounts of sound and video data. Plenty of data storage, processing power, and memory are needed for workstations in the video field.
