NextComputing Vigor ED rugged portable workstation

NextComputing recently released the Vigor ED rugged portable workstation.

Graphics- or processing-intensive applications like geospatial imagery analysis, UAV ground control or HD digital video processing require powerful computer hardware. However, for mobile deployments where size, weight, power and cooling are a concern, typical rackmount servers are just too large, heavy and power-consuming.

The Vigor series is compact and rugged — designed to handle the same demanding tasks normally assigned to full-sized systems. Now users can replace larger rackmount hardware with an all-in-one workstation that is easier to transport and set up.

The modular, scalable system can be outfitted with the latest Intel multicore processors, high capacity and performance memory, full-size PCI Express 3.0 cards and up to 16 removable enterprise-class SSD, SAS or SATA drives. It also includes an integrated 17.3″ 1920x1080 display.
