NextDimension Evo

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's "quick-time" hot-swappable hard drives make it easy to:
- Alternate between OS environments
- Change or replace drives
- Transfer sensitive and important data
Originally designed around AMD Opteron™ processors, the NextDimension Evo supports the Dual and Quad-Core AMD Opteron™ processors, and we have expanded our processor offerings to include Dual and Quad Core Intel® Xeon® processors.
