That’s because we’re buying server racks for virtualized workstations, not deskside systems. Even from Tier 1 vendors a viable deskside workstation for pro VFX doesn’t approach 35K without shoving dual socket 24-core+ Intel chips that have no realistic purpose being in a workstation unless you’re buying for specificity.
The Mac Pro is a specialty item, not the norm.
- sitkack 7y agoI'd love to know more about this, because I think it is the future for everyone. What VDI environment are you using, what runs on your desktop vs run on the racks? Are the racks shared or do you have dedicated hardware provisioned to you? Do you use more than one backend rack system at a time?
- omnimus 7y agoDoes it mean people buy Mac Pros because MacOs cannot run inder vm?
- thedaemon 7y agoPeople buy Mac Pros to specifically run Mac Video Editing Software. This is the only reason to own a Mac Pro. IE if you work for Marvel editing films.
