The Next Evolution: High Performance Mobility at New Levels of Power
The NextDimension Evo raises the bar when it comes to enterprise-class computing and portability. The competition cannot match the combination of computing power with small form portability. The NextDimension Evo meets the toughest standards for those who need a high-performance mobile work environment.
The NextDimension Evo is able to power any display, such as:
- A common desktop monitor
- A boardroom projector
- A visualization center for panoramic imaging
The NextDimension Evo expands on our original flextop model, the NextDimension Pro. The addition of greater I/O capabilities and PCI options, the NextDimension Evo truly is an evolution in high-performance mobile computing.
The NextDimension Evo supports up to (2) Single-, Dual-, or Quad-Core AMD Opteron™ processors or up to (2) Dual or Quad Core Intel® Xeon® processors for a total of up to 8 processor cores to handle all of your intensive processing needs.
The NextDimension Evo's "quick-time" hot-swappable hard drives make it easy to:
- Alternate between OS environments
- Change or replace drives (click here to view video)
- Transfer sensitive and important data
Multiple cooling options are available for I/O cards and fixed storage with special thermal demands. Enables OEMs, integrators, and ISVs to bundle challenging solutions in a mobile platform.
