NextDimension Pro

The Most Compact Workstation/Server Available
The NextDimension Pro was designed with the high-performance mobile professional in mind. This machine combines an advanced enterprise workstation with server-class computing in an impressively small case. The NextDimension Pro is the most powerful package of its type: incredibly small and exceedingly efficient.
In an environment where workspace is limited, the NextDimension Pro's efficient size makes the most of usable space. A company taking advantage of the NextDimension Pro's compact design will no longer have to manage awkward, bulky, and obsolete or outdated towers. The NextDimension Pro briefcase-sized package makes travel easy. The NextDimension Pro is eminently portable: relocation and set-up on site are a snap.
The NextDimension Pro is able to operate any display, such as:
- A common desktop monitor
- A boardroom projector
- A visualization center for panoramic imaging
The "quick-time" drive technology means that the NextDimension Pro allows hot-swapping, which is vitally important to traveling scientists or operators who need the flexibility to alternate between operating systems, engage in on-site repair operations, or transfer of critical data easily and often.
Originally designed around AMD Opteron™ processors, the NextDimension Pro 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.
