STERLING HEIGHTS, Mich. (February 11, 2010) - When Waltonen Engineering, a leading engineering firm in Warren Michigan needed high performance computing hardware, they came to Rave Computer for their demanding requirements. Waltonen required a new high performance system that could optimally operate their 3-D software. They previously purchased their systems through a large name brand OEM. Although the systems were commercial grade and met their basic requirements; the OEM did not offer individualized consulting or a solution that was optimized for their application.
Through a series of needs assessment meetings, Waltonen's engineers were able to leverage Rave's expertise to design systems that delivered the required performance for the demanding 3D engineering requirements.
Rave was able to recommend industrial grade, higher performance components that exceeded their previous hardware capabilities by 15%, at a comparable price.
Through Rave's network of suppliers, they successfully integrated components to deliver an optimal solution. In this case, Rave utilized the new Intel® Core i7TM processor, solid state drives for increased processing speed, and NVIDIA FX3800 and FX4800 graphics cards for better visual output; all essential components that the customer required.
"Waltonen's decision to partner with Rave is further affirmation of our leadership position in Michigan for providing cost-competitive, innovative computing solutions," said Joe Borowicz, CFO, Rave Computer. "We worked with Waltonen to understand their application needs and ultimately delivered a solution that is not only faster, but more cost effective."
Rave's flexibility, personal consultation, and premier partnerships allow Waltonen to combine innovative technologies, performance testing, project and supply chain management services, EOL support, and technology roadmaps... All from a single source. "We were very pleased with the performance of the equipment and the expeditious delivery and thorough customer service provided by Rave, which assisted Waltonen in continuing to exceed our customer requirements."
