AI Development Workstations by 3XS Systems
3XS AI workstations make starting your AI journey easy. Powered by NVIDIA GPUs, they provide data scientists with a cost-effective platform for developing AI models, prior to scaling up to datacentre-grade training hardware which is also available from Scan.
Designed for office environments, 3XS AI workstations are fine-tuned by our hardware engineers and data scientists for performance, reliability and low-noise. We provide a custom software stack that means you spend more time on your code development and less time configuring drivers, libraries and APIs.
Accelerated AI with NVIDIA GPUs
The choice and number of GPUs has the most impact on how long AI models take to train. 3XS AI workstations support up to six NVIDIA GPUs for the ultimate in performance. Explore the range of NVIDIA GPUs in more detail below.

AI-Ready Software Stack
3XS AI workstations are provided with a custom software stack to speed up your AI model development.
This includes the latest Ubuntu operating system, Docker for creating, sharing and running individual containers on a single node and TensorFlow, a popular framework for building and deploying AI applications.
Powered by NVIDIA GPUs, 3XS AI workstations are the perfect tool for unlocking the comprehensive catalogue of optimised software tools for AI and HPC provided in the NVIDIA GPU Cloud (NGC).
NVIDIA AI Enterprise
NVIDIA AI Enterprise unlocks access to a wide range of frameworks that accelerate the development and deployment of AI projects. Leveraging pre-configured frameworks removes many of the manual tasks and complexity associated with software development, enabling you to deploy your AI models faster as each framework is tried, tested and optimised for NVIDIA GPUs. The less time spent developing, the greater the ROI on your AI hardware and data science investments.
Rather than trying to assemble thousands of co-dependent libraries and APIs from different authors when building your own AI applications, NVIDIA AI Enterprise removes this pain point by providing the full AI software stack including applications such as healthcare, computer vision, speech and generative AI.
Enterprise-grade support is provided, 9x5 with a 4-hour SLA with direct access to NVIDIA’s AI experts, minimising risk and downtime, while maximising system efficiency and productivity. A three-year NVIDIA AI Enterprise license is included with 3XS AI workstations with A800 GPUs as standard. You can also purchase one, three- and five-year licenses with other GPUs.
Start your AI journey
3XS AI workstations are available as preconfigured models or can be customised to your requirements. Alternatively, you can develop AI models on any device via virtualised NVIDIA GPUs hosted on our Scan Cloud platform.
If you’re still unsure of the best development solution for your organisation, contact our team to discuss your projects or requirements and to arrange a free guided proof of concept trial.
