NextComputing can design / build rugged workstations to meet MIL specifications, including 810E/901E/167, cost effectively and with agility. Our fast development time supports agile deployments consistent with Other Transaction Authority (OTA (10 U.S.C. 4021) of the Department of Defense (DoD). We apply a similar process to prototypes, research, and production projects for systems integrators, OEMS and government OTA systems. Our expertise in deployable high performance rugged customized systems can be brought to production and deployed quickly and reliably.

Original Design Manufacturer

With a wide variety of high-performance configurations in a range of form factors, NextComputing may already have the perfect solution to meet the needs of your business or your customers. In these cases, we offer original design manufacturer (ODM) or “private labeling,” services to integrate your brand.

  • Parts can be customized with high-quality silkscreens featuring your logo or custom I/O labels for ease of use.
  • Paint colors on parts or entire chassis can be changed to match your brand guidelines.
  • Carrying bags can be stitched with your logo, and rugged travel cases can be labeled with your brand for a consistent visual identity.

Optimized Appliance Solutions

Hardware solutions and services for software developers,
service providers and government contractors

For software developers (ISVs) and service providers, NextComputing offers services to match a wide range of needs:

  • If you have a requirement from 50 to 2000 purpose built appliances, whose requirements are workstation or server class capabilities but with an application specific use
  • If you need something that is more consistent with what you want your brand to be
  • If you want to focus your resources on your software or your services and your customers
  • If your are struggling to get more performance out of your software or open source applications due to system limitations
  • If you want to reduce engineering costs, eliminate or reduce internal production cost overheads, outsource some of your systems engineering, outsource some of your mechanical engineering, move away from in-house fulfillment services, become more nimble in your market, improve cash flow, go to market more quickly, or reduce inventory problems

If any or all of these apply to you, please review the following list of capabilities and contact us to discuss what NextComputing can offer you.

  • A special expertise we offer to software publishers, developers, and open source integrators is to analyze your binary applications and requirements on your current system configuration and evaluate how we can maximize its performance. We do this by identifying system bottlenecks from memory bandwidth, processor core or hyper thread utilization, GPU co-processing, RAID(s) settings/optimizations, disk I-O, PCI Express I-O optimization, network I-O, BIOS optimizations, operating system optimization within Linux / Windows / OVAs/virtualization. Then, after this assessment, we implement an improved solution.
  • We will recommend, implement and test these configuration controlled optimizations, settings and hardware tuning to maximize the performance of your application.
  • As part of an ongoing relationship, our team will work at regular intervals with your software team to suggest code or configuration modifications as well as hardware component road-map updates as part of your continuous performance improvement and cost optimization while managing this under configuration control.
  • We offer ISO imaging services that include functional verification of driver and OS patch release versions to ensure interoperability with your application and I-O cards.
