NextComputing has announced its latest rugged portable workstation computer, the Vigor EX.

Built to withstand harsh environments and handling, the Vigor EX packs high-end workstation performance in a durable chassis for anyone who needs to run demanding software applications in the field.

Graphics- or processing-intensive applications like HD digital video processing require high-end, powerful computer hardware to run properly. However, for mobile deployments where size, weight, power and cooling are a concern, a typical rack-mount server is oftentimes too large, heavy and power consuming. The Vigor EX is well-suited for these situations.

The Vigor EX features

• Dual-chassis design with shock-mounted internal chassis suspended in a rugged, mil-anodized external chassis with no metal-to-metal contact;

• Single- or dual-processor, low-power Intel Xeon architecture or single Intel Core i7 processor;

• Up to 48GB ECC or 24GB non-ECC DDR3 memory (RAM); and

• More than 7TB internal storage capacity with upward of 1.2GB/s sustained RAID write performance.
