NASHUA, NH, Jan 28, 2009 - NextComputing, a leader in manufacturing innovative high-performance mobile workstations, announces the latest addition to its NextDimension family of 'flextop' portable workstations, the NextDimension XGE. Aimed at professional users running high-end 3D design and visualization applications, this surprisingly compact computer squeezes desktop workstation performance into a briefcase-sized package with an integrated 17" hi-res display. The XGE system's convenient, portable design opens up new possibilities for interaction among key contributors in the design process, enabling team members to collaborate on projects, no matter where each person may be located. The XGE system also makes an ideal demonstration tool enabling your business to deliver the full impact of a project, design concept or application in real-time and in person.

"The NextDimension XGE system delivers a full complement of workstation features," said Bob Labadini, President and CTO of NextComputing. "With up to two low voltage Intel Xeon 5400 series processors we are delivering real workstation features and performance in a space that's not much larger than a notebook. We believe this type of system will allow users to create with the customer, not just for the customer."

With the ability to quickly iterate and fine-tune digital prototypes and validate designs before they are ever implemented, the XGE system lets users design and test concepts faster than ever before. With up to 24GB of memory, users can now work with large assemblies, designs and animations. And with a brilliant high-resolution (1920x1200) widescreen display and up to two high-end NVIDIA or ATI graphics accelerator boards, visualization has never been so real or so interactive.

Based on NextComputing's open-standards and modular 'flextop' architecture the XGE can be upgraded easily. Unlike a notebook, the high-performance technology inside NextDimension XGE will not quickly become obsolete. This allows you to expand the system as your demands grow and to keep pace with the latest technology advancements, thereby extending your hardware investment for years to come. NextDimension XGE also uses significantly less power than a standard workstation, helping to reduce your company's long-term energy expenses.

NextDimension XGE brings best-in-breed workstation characteristics to a mobile form-factor, enabling professional user communities to change how they work. For example:

Product Design

Collaborate more efficiently by developing designs with your customer, incorporating new ideas, then testing and visualizing them. Multi-task between visualization applications and engineering applications to quickly see the results of your new changes.

Mechanical CAD

Speed up the product development cycle by working with larger assemblies and more complete datasets. Save time by getting your ideas in front of the right people in a timely fashion. Work anywhere, not just at your office workstation.

Architecture & Civil Engineering

Make critical decisions with key project stakeholders in a collaborative environment with all relevant data at your fingertips. "Wow" your clients with real-time walk-through. Save precious space and power in cramped trailers and remote offices.

CAE / CFD

When mission-critical design decisions must be based on accurately simulated environments, ensure that everyone involved can properly evaluate the impact. React quickly to implement important changes before mistakes end up in the finished product.

Digital Content Creation

Creativity comes when it wants to and not always when it's convenient or practical. Think of XGE as your "always-ready creative toolbox," giving you the performance you need to bring your ideas to life.

"NextComputing's NextDimension XGE workstation with up to two powerful Intel Xeon 5400 series processors changes the definition of mobile workstations," said Intel's Thor Sewell, Director of Technical Computing Marketing. "The XGE workstation takes the 'virtual workbench,' where engineers and designers can use a cadre of software tools to create and test new ideas, to just about anywhere the customer is."
