Intel solid-state drives:
Industry-best performance and reliability

Industry-best Intel solid-state drives (SSDs) are more than 75 times faster than desktop hard drives for I/O operations per second.

Intel SSDs eliminate the hard-drive bottleneck that throttles Windows virtual memory and multitasking. For real-world performance and snappy system response even under heavy load, Intel SSDs have more impact than faster CPUs. See random I/O performance test below, comparing SSD vs hard drive.

Intel SSDs are also highly reliable. Digital Tigers was the first computer company to standardize on Intel SSDs (May 2009), and we have never encountered an Intel SSD failure, in two years of building and supporting customer systems with Intel SSDs. Industry studies confirm Intel SSD reliability compared to other SSD brands (below).

Features in depth

Stratosphere Elite: the performance champion, six years running

For six years running, Stratosphere Elite has been the performance champion of the Stratosphere lineup. When performance is everything, Stratosphere Elite is always the solution, with the highest CPU performance of any personal computer on the market. Stratosphere Elite is also popular for its bold great looks, with a stunning chassis that announces its performance in supremely high style.

Stratosphere Elite gets its power by tapping the very latest and fastest Intel server CPU technology, harnessing twin six-core Intel Xeon processors designed to handle the demands of thousands of users in a transaction-heavy network environment. Now that incredible power can be focused on one purpose: serving you and your work.


Ultimate performance for multi-screen applications
 
  

Digital Tigers is not the first company to tap server technology to reach new pinnacles of performance in personal computing. But our purpose is not about turning a loud server on its side and calling that a personal workstation.

Our focus begins with the most advanced multi-screen graphics technology, supporting up to 24 screen outputs.

From financial trading to military reconnaissance, our customers have an insatiable demand for seeing more information at once, supporting incredibly important real-time decision-making with lives and huge sums of money on the line. Our Stratosphere systems and Zenview multi-screen monitors deliver an integrated, reliable, high-performance solution with capabilities that can't be purchased anywhere else.

Stratosphere Elite rises above the high standards set by other Stratosphere platforms, with the fastest CPU performance we can offer. Among server-class workstations in the industry, no other platform approaches its high design and feature standards.


Power at a whisper

Consider cooling and acoustics: most servers and server-class workstations are cooled with very loud fans, but Stratosphere Elite integrates a highly advanced cooling system that is barely audible in a quiet office.

The system includes optimized airflow and ultra-quiet case fans that move a great deal of air in slow rotation, due to their large size. The advanced Xeon CPU cooling is the quietest Xeon cooling available anywhere.

Our passion for quiet acoustics extends throughout this high-performance platform. Another example: the industry-best 1200-watt power supply is selected not only for its power, capacity and reliability, but also ultra high efficiency (80 PLUS Gold certified) and ultra-quiet 20 dBA cooling.


High reliability and zero-downtime recovery

Stratosphere Elite offers exceptionally high reliability that starts with the best power supply offered by the industry's top-rated manufacturer. Premium-grade power conversion can extend the life of any system, and this platform has the best.

The system also includes a high-grade 1500VA battery backup system with automatic voltage regulation, ensuring that power outages, brownouts and surges are suppressed and managed before they can even reach your system.

Most important of all, Stratosphere Elite is equipped with an internal bootable backup drive, which can back up your data and applications as frequently as you wish. Hard drive crashes have wiped out entire companies and devastated individuals who fail to back up their data. With internal bootable backup, you are not only protected, but you can be back to work after a single reboot!


A pleasure to drive

Standard features include a DVD burner with LightScribe, and 8-channel surround audio with digital output. A premium wireless keyboard and laser mouse are among many other features designed to deliver you the best personal experience possible.

Put it all together, and you see what buyers have known for five years now. For top performance, top reliability, multi-screen graphics and quiet computing, all in one elegant package, there's one best answer in the industry: Stratosphere Elite.
