High-Performance Mobile Processing and Interpretation

Problem
The increasing complexity in Exploration & Production (E&P) and overall reservoir management requires super fast data processing and analysis, rendering, and storage capabilities combined with strong data security to protect collected data. This need is typically solved by large, stand-alone servers housed in a single location.
However, as outfits become more mobile, the need to move capable equipment into new locations quickly and easily is increasingly critical, and those same servers can no longer serve the need effectively.
Many firms look for a solution in high-end laptops and quickly find they are just too limited in the crucial areas to be a viable option, as well as being very limited in their upgrade potential.
Solution
NextComputing offers high-performance mobile systems designed to make the most of dual- or quad-core processors, the latest in high-end graphics cards, and over 5TB of storage for advanced data analysis and visualization, field QC, and field processing, as well as most other areas of E&P.
The NextDimension and the ruggedized Vigor systems also offer options for PXE boot, up to four (4) no-tools removable hard drives, and several RAID configurations to suit any data security need.
Geophysicists, analysts, and field consultants finally have true mobility for:
- Volume interpretation and analysis systems
- 3D and 4D visualization systems
- Field- and ship-based deployable server systems
