 What is Workstation ?

Ans 

Workstation is a computer used for engineering applications (CAD/CAM), desktop publishing, 

software development, and other such types of applications which require a moderate amount 

of computing power and relatively high quality graphics capabilities.

Workstations generally come with a large, high-resolution graphics screen, large amount of 

RAM, inbuilt network support, and a graphical user 

interface. Most workstations also have mass 

storage device such as a disk drive, but a special 

type of workstation, called diskless workstation, 

comes without a disk drive.

Common operating systems for workstations are 

UNIX and Windows NT. Like PC, workstations are 

also single-user computers like PC but are typically 

linked together to form a local-area network, 

although they can also be used as stand-alone 

systems.
