For Workstation we have terms and definitions in 10 topics. The topics are Cinematography, Computer Hardware, Computer Virus, Computing and Social Science, E-Learning, Film Production, Hard Drive Recovery, Interior Design, RAID Drive Recovery and Technology.

Workstation (Cinematography)

This term generally refers to a disk-based audio recording and editing system.

Workstation (Computer Hardware)

A workstation usually has a faster microprocessor, more special features, and more memory, than a PC. That is because workstations are designed for professional users such as engineers, graphic designers and architects, rather than recreational users. Workstations often use the Unix operating system.

Workstation (Computer Virus)

1. A networked computer that uses server resources.
2. A computer that is connected to a mainframe computer. It is usually a personal computer connected to a Local Area Network (LAN), which shares the resources of one or more large computers. Workstations differ from terminals or dumb terminals in that they can be used independently of the mainframe. Also, they can have their own applications installed, as well as their own hard disks.
3. A type of computer that requires a significant amount of computing power and that can produce high-quality graphics.

Workstation (Computing and Social Science)

1) In a computing environment the term "workstation" has historically referred to a particular class of machine: specifically, a very powerful computer with a 32 bit microprocessor, usually with a graphics-oriented display and a mouse, intended for use on a local area network. Workstations in this sense usually run the UNIX operating system. Although many are powerful enough to have several users logged on and using the machine simultaneously, many computing environments assume a workstation will be used by only one person at a time. Well known manufacturers of workstations include Sun, Hewlett Packard, DEC, and, for a time, NeXT

Workstation (E-Learning)

1) A device, often a microcomputer, that serves as an interface between a user and a file server or host computer. 2) More generally, a computer or a computer terminal.

Workstation (Film Production)

This term generally refers to a disk-based audio recording and editing system.

Workstation (Hard Drive Recovery)

A personal computer with exceptional capacity and performance capabilities for use mainly in engineering, design and audiovisual applications demanding immediate access to data and the ability to manipulate it in technically sophisticated ways.

Workstation (Interior Design)

Floor areas and furniture used by employees to perform their duties

Workstation (RAID Drive Recovery)

A personal computer with exceptional capacity and performance capabilities for use mainly in engineering, design and audiovisual applications demanding immediate access to data and the ability to manipulate it in technically sophisticated ways.

Workstation (Technology)

A high-performance personal computer (PC) optimized for professional applications, also known as a "high-end personal computer." A workstation is a "top of the line" system geared toward certain fields, such as architecture and technical drawing. A workstation can also be a desktop computer that runs application programs and serves as the access point to a local area network (LAN).
