Graphics Workstation Iridium Line

Iridium Line graphics workstations were developed specifically for CAD work based on our years of experience with architects, structural engineers, and designers. Each workstation uses a new-generation professional NVIDIA Quadro graphics card built on NVIDIA Pascal™ GPU architecture, supporting four displays at 4K resolution. Its low-profile form factor provides strong performance across professional applications.

When developing our graphics workstations, we focused on the following important factors

We define configuration flexibility quite specifically: our workstations are intended for professionals working with graphics and visualization. We focused on GPUs, chipsets, and performance in applications such as Autodesk Revit, 3Ds Max, AutoCAD, NavisWorks, nanoCAD, V-Ray, SCAD, and LIRA-SAPR.

Current software trends and the rapid adoption of BIM are shifting data storage from local drives to servers and the cloud. Consequently, the workstation's local storage subsystem is becoming less critical. Growing demands for interactive visualization and increasingly complex 3D models require more powerful graphics components.

Different tasks have different requirements: engineering disciplines may require less GPU performance than federated models. A flexible configuration lets us adjust workstation specifications over a wide range, balancing cost and workload while avoiding unnecessary features.

We define reliability as the ability to operate without failure for at least 12 hours a day, 7 days a week, over a minimum of 3-5 years. We therefore select components with particular care and avoid unnecessary features: simpler systems tend to be more reliable. Software is evolving rapidly, and increasingly demanding new versions can make upgrades necessary even for relatively new computers.

We follow principles of open architecture and readily available components. This also helps us resolve maintenance issues more quickly and effectively.

An ideal graphics workstation would fit in a hand and weigh no more than 20 grams, like a magic wand. Unfortunately, we have not reached that point yet. Workstations are far from tiny and unobtrusive, but in exchange we offer

an understated, clean design that does not distract from work while remaining stylish, reliable, and functional.

We developed a computer that runs quieter in normal operation than the human ear can detect. For context, permissible noise in an executive or designer's office is 35-40 dBA and in a hospital operating room 25 dBA; our workstations produce only 6-12 dBA under normal operation. This is achieved through measures including soundproof cases and special fans. Workstations require annual dust cleaning, with dedicated filters provided for that purpose.

Workstations are not mass-market products, so production and delivery can take several months. Sometimes a strategic decision to upgrade or buy equipment must be implemented urgently because of project deadlines. Temporary licenses and software rental make it important to avoid leaving expensive software idle while waiting for unique workstations.

Such delays can arise in global logistics. We have reduced delivery lead times to a few days up to 2 weeks. We can maintain similarly short lead times for individual components during repair or upgrades.

A workstation's price should reflect the value of the work it performs. As tools of production, these computers help generate revenue rather than simply consume it. We therefore understand the importance of reasonable prices that justify themselves over the system's working life.
