Press Release Body: Nashua, NH - October 21, 2008 - NextComputing, leading creators
of high-performance computing solutions, announces a fully featured visualization
center in a ruggedized, portable form factor. The company developed this
multi-display option as an add-on to its ruggedized Vigor Evo HD, which answered the
call for an extreme performance, lightweight, deployable system designed for use in
harsh environments. One or two additional displays attach to either side of the
integrated monitor and fold in neatly for protection of the screens and ease of
portability.

This newest announcement comes at a time when a growing number of industry segments
are demanding expanded visual display capabilities with ruggedized portable
computers. The oil and gas industry will benefit from enhanced viewing when
utilizing this multi-display option for wide scale reservoir visualization,
immersive seismic analysis, and command and control-style viewing. The medical
imaging industry can utilize the Vigor Evo HD visualization center for real-time
diagnostic analysis, as a mobile physician reading station, as a mobile HIS/RIS/PACS
system, and as a Telerad "Wet Read" workstation. Government and military
applications that extend to field operations in harsh battlefield environments stand
to benefit as well. Some examples include real-time situational awareness, global
command & control, tactical operations centers, target acquisition, mission
planning, terrain modeling, UAV ground control workstations, training and
simulation.

The Vigor Evo HD is available with an integrated 17" high resolution display up to
1920x1200 resolution, with an additional one or two displays which fold out to the
left and right sides, in the visualization center configuration. The Vigor Evo HD
also offers a selection of the industry's highest performing PCI Express graphics
cards to optimize performance with even the most graphically intensive applications.


Other features include top of the line quad core processors from both Intel and AMD
(up to 8 processor cores), up to 16GB RAM, up to 3TB storage capacity, multiple IO
options including up to 4 full-length PCI Express slots, open standards
architecture, and 32/64 bit multi-OS support. The internal structure is housed in an
innovative floating chassis system that significantly reduces risk due to failure
from shock and vibration. About the size of a briefcase, the Vigor Evo HD with
visualization center is lightweight and easy to carry.

NextComputing's ruggedized, mobile visualization center will be on display at the
GEOINT 2008 Symposium, October 28-30, at the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention
Center in Nashville, TN.
