Vigor - Rugged Portables

Vigors go everywhere you go

High-Performance and Rugged Portability Made Easy

Our line of rugged portable computers differ from other computers because they are designed to function in a wider range of environments and under harsher conditions than the average computer.

  • Durable, deployable and lightweight
  • Constructed with a thickened aluminum alloy
  • Mil-anodized scratch resistant coating and rubber corner bumpers
  • Able to endure a broad range of temperatures and relative humidity
  • Built to withstand high rates of shock and vibration

What really sets NextComputing rugged portables apart from the competition is their outstanding performance. The special construction and portability combined with top-of-the-line graphics cards allow high-end, 3D rendering capabilities to be available on the spot in harsh environments.

Unlike a workstation tower, the Vigor Evo HD, Pro SD, and Ultra-III rugged portables are small enough to hand-carry, so you can take the power and processing capabilities of a high-performance workstation with you wherever there is a need.

The innovative, extra-secure design of multiple hard disk drive brackets means swapping data easily, quickly, and securely. And for added security, Vigor series systems, configured with the AMD Opteron™ 940 socket set, support the Pre-Boot Execution Environment (PXE), allowing them to boot from a server on a network (via PXE boot), instead of from a internal hard drive. Effectively, the systems can be thin clients, or lean clients, with no need for internal drives. Thus, all data can be stored securely on an external network source without being retained on the individual system.

Functioning simultaneously as a server and a workstation, containing exceptional processing power and graphics capability, a rugged portable from NextComputing consistently delivers the extreme performance of the highest-end desktops.

"NextComputing's already impressive lineup of portable, field-ready servers, and workstations should see a significant performance boost from the addition of native quad-core processing."
