Delivering Performance Without Compromise

Whether you’re a trader who demands high clock speeds and low latency to market data, a CAD engineer working with complex models, or a VFX artist rendering intricate scenes, the need for dedicated desktop and workstation hardware remains strong.

For IT teams, the challenge has always been how to effectively manage this infrastructure when both devices and users can be spread across multiple locations – sometimes even across geographies. A common response has been to try and move users to virtual desktops, however this approach can often compromise the end-user experience.

Another long-standing alternative has been to put standard workstations into the data center; however, this approach often introduces new challenges around remote management, density, and resilience. In many cases, it resolves one set of issues only to create another.

Amulet Hotkey developed the CoreStation product range to address these challenges. CoreStation provides users with the consistency of user experience that comes with dedicated hardware, in a form factor that is both designed for the data center and simple for IT to manage. CoreStation allows organisations to deploy dedicated workstations into the data center and at scale, without the compromises normally associated with this approach.

The Benefits of Colocation

One of the primary advantages of moving your workstations into the data center is the co-location of this hardware with other critical systems, storage, and data. For traders who require low latency access to market data feeds and who depend upon speed of execution, for example, the resulting infrastructure can provide a competitive advantage.


For users who require access to large files, such as a CAD Engineer in the AEC industry or a FVX Artist within the Media & Entertainment sector, co-location ensures immediate access to the resources they need. More importantly, it also ensures that these files remain securely in the data center, enabling organizations to better protect their intellectual property.

The Certainty of Dedicated Hardware

Many new technologies now exist to enhance and monitor the performance of virtual desktops, however the reality is that some workloads simply perform best, or require functionality that can only be delivered, with dedicated hardware. These new technologies also come with additional cost and complexity, challenging the business case for moving to VDI.


The use of dedicated hardware means there is no resource sharing and therefore completely removes the chance of contention, meaning consistent and predictable performance. Desktop-class processors ensure high clock speeds and data center form factor ensures chips are kept cool and can run at their maximum performance for longer.

Simplicity, Stability and Ease of Support

Provisioning users with dedicated hardware not only provides the best possible user experience, but it also makes it simple for IT to implement and support. Remote workstations can be built and configured like any other desktop hardware and easily integrated into any existing virtual desktop infrastructure.


In addition to being designed for the data center, Amulet Hotkey’s CoreStation platforms offer comprehensive out-of-band management and monitoring. These capabilities go beyond basic power control to include features such as live power and thermal monitoring, as well as out-of-band KVM access.
