Apple technology provides the power and ease of use that scientists need for desktop and high-performance computing. The Mac Pro 8-core Xeon 64-bit workstation easily manipulates large models and data sets. The Xserve server also offers 8-core Intel Xeon processing and up to 3 TB of storage in a 1U enclosure. The Xserve server offers Quad-core 64-bit Intel Xeon processors and up to 2.25TB of SATA or SAS storage in a 1U enclosure. The Apple Workgroup Cluster offers scientists an all-inclusive do-it-yourself cluster solution.
With its state-of-the-art graphics capabilities, Mac Pro, combined with the Apple Cinema Display, makes the perfect visualization workstation — whether for molecular modeling, data modeling or biomedical imaging. Superior graphics technology gives the researcher the ability to see with brilliant clarity, contrast, and detail.
Scalable and cost-effective storage solutions from Apple are designed to keep pace with the explosive growth of scientific data. Featured technology: Promise RAID, Apple Quad-channel 4 GB Fibre Channel PCI Express Cards, compatible switches, and Apple Xsan for storage are networking.
The Mac is the ideal system for publishing your scientific work. Microsoft Office runs natively on Mac OS X as well as your favorite writing, reference and publishing tools. And with the Mac, you can switch back and forth from your computational work to your productivity applications all in one intuitive desktop environment.
