Workstations

The workstation specifications are recommendations for new purchases.

Can I use my existing computers?

It is entirely possible to use existing workstations when implementing Datacon. Generally speaking, a computer that is up to four years old is likely sufficient. While there are plenty of computer models that suffice such as Mac minis and laptops, below are our most popular workstation models. Contact Datacon to see if your workstations will meet the minimum criteria.
