Portable Workstation: The Vigor EDS

A new High-Throughput Workstation in a Tough Portable Package

NextComputing enables rugged, high-throughput computing in harsh environments with the announcement of the Vigor EDS. Never before has such a performance-packed system been so well suited for the toughest of operating environments.

The Vigor EDS combines an enterprise-class system architecture, for demanding, mission-critical applications, with a unique shock-mounted chassis for maximum reliability. This portable, rugged workstation / server is designed for a multitude of data-intensive applications that must take place in less than ideal operating environments.

Portable and deployable applications for the Vigor EDS include:

Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR)

• Use as portable, deployable server or server clusters
• Support for VMware vSphere, Red Hat Linux, and other Linux distributions
• Full-size PCI Express 3.0 card support for high-speed data recording and network card configurations including multiple 10G and 100G interfaces
• Up to 28 Intel E5 v3 processor cores (46 Hyper-Threads) and 256GB high performance DDR4 memory
• SED/AES 256-bit encrypted and FIPS 140.2 compliant RAID-able and removable storage
