NextComputing Unveils New High-Performance Workstation for Content Creation Profeionals

NextComputing, a leading manufacturer of small footprint, high-performance workstations and servers, has announced the Nucleus EXP - the latest and most powerful addition yet to its Nucleus family of workstation computers. The Nucleus EXP features a mini-tower chassis housing dual Intel Xeon E5-2600 v2 series processors, up to twenty (20) internal 2.5 hard drives or SSDs (Solid State Drives), and support for three high-end, dual-width graphics cards. These unique capabilities allow creative professionals working with high-resolution imagery such as 4K and 6K video to work fluidly in real time, freeing them from restrictive and time-consuming workflows.

Traditional workstations are designed primarily for high-end processing and graphics, but often lack fast storage needed for media applications. The Nucleus EXP, in addition to sporting the latest Intel Xeon processors and high-end graphics cards, offers the same level of high-speed storage found on external SAN devices - all in a single, compact system.

This important balance of processing, graphics, memory, and storage empowers content creation professionals, such as those doing effects compositing, color grading, or digital cinema packaging, to work with high-resolution image files unhindered, saving time and enabling a more dynamic creative process. Ideal applications for the Nucleus EXP include:

Adobe Creative Cloud (After Effects , Premiere Pro , SpeedGrade ),

Assimilate SCRATCH and SCRATCH Lab

Blackmagic DaVinci Resolve

Avid Media Composer

Autodesk Flare

The Nucleus EXP achieves this balance by using a finely tuned combination of the latest hardware technology, designed into a unique and expandable chassis with an elegant, industrial look that NextComputing has become known for. The Nucleus EXP features:

A compact, mini-tower chassis (3U rack height) - 5.25 W x 16.5 H x 20 D

Dual Intel Xeon E5-2600 v2 Ivy Bridge EP processors, offering up to 12 cores at 2.7GHz (24 threads with HyperThreading enabled)

Twenty (20) no-tools removable 2.5 hard drives or SSDs capable of sustained data rates over 2,000MB/s

Separate dual (2) no-tools removable 2.5 drives for dedicated operating system and applications disks

Up to three (3) full-length, dual-slot workstation-class graphics cards, such as the newly released NVIDIA Quadro K6000 or AMD FirePro W9000

Up to 256GB DDR3 memory

1300W 1+1 power supply with optional 2+1 redundant power

Front access slim DVD or optional BluRay optical drive
