“This is the ultimate green PC,” commented Roger Anscombe, MiniFrameUK’s MD. “Using SoftXpand offers measurable savings of up to 83% by reducing energy consumption, CO2 emissions, maintenance and space.”

A single PC can run up to six workstations, each consisting simply of a standard monitor, mouse and keyboard – no proprietary hardware is required, and the user experience is identical to that of a standard PC, with multiple users able to run VoIP, multimedia, graphic and 3D applications simultaneously.

“The problem is that the product is so good, no one believes it. People assume that with one hard-drive, it will run slower, and are surprised when they sit down that it doesn’t. And organisations get the purchase price back in two years in electricity savings alone,” Roger continued.

Aligned with industry standards, SoftXpand’s proprietary load balancing algorithm makes full use of CPU and video cards’ GPU resources and allocates them amongst the workstations. It looks pretty neat too.
