***Commercial Response***
Hello Niyanta,
If you haven't heard of Aivia, I invite you to also try it for processing your lightsheet data.
Our highest-tier system requirement (
https://www.drvtechnologies.com/system-requirements) recommends a GeForce RTX 2080 Ti, which currently looks to be about 4x cheaper than the Quadro RTX 6000.
Any commercial software you use for lightsheet data should not require 500GB of RAM and would benefit more from ~64GB of RAM, plus the fastest I/O speed you can achieve with your hard storage. Your 3TB of SSDs and 10G ethernet look great for that.
Best regards,
Trevor

Hi all,
I plan to get a workstation that can handle confocal and lightsheet data analysis using Imaris and/or Arivis. Lightsheet data clearly has the higher bar/needs in terms of specs. Below are the specs I am considering. Can you please let me know if you have any recommendations?
Lenovo Think Station P920
3.7 GHz CPUs (Intel) 48 cores
Graphics: NVIDIA Quadro RTX 6000 or 8000
4 X 3 TB of local SSD (multiple drives - one for the OS, one for writing, one for reading)
RAM: 500 GB
Monitor: dual 1920 x 1200
300 TB NAS via 10 GB ethernet – file sharing
Mouse: 3 button wheel
Monitor: thinking of a dual Lenovo Think Vision P32u-10 but it doesn’t have a full array LED. Any suggestions? I hear the curved monitors can cause issues with display when sharing screens over Webex etc.
Thanks,
Niyanta
