After seven years in development, Salt Lake City-based ISYS Technologies is ready to introduce its next-generation computer, designed to replace the typical desktop computer with a small, 3.5-inch cube that has the versatility to adapt to a changing computer world without the user having to buy a new computer system.
Created by Jason Sullivan, the Xi3 Processing Control Unit is a new modular computer platform created for the computer's core processing technology that is adaptable for all types of computing.
"This is a computer that will never become obsolete," Sullivan said. "Anything that a typical computer can do, this can do."
The difference, however, is that the Xi3 PCU has no moving parts, no fans and no hard drives that can crash and lose data Relevant Products/Services. It can function as a workstation, a server Relevant Products/Services or desktop computer through a series of interchangeable parts called backplanes -- a circuit board containing sockets into which other circuit boards can be plugged -- that can be interchanged by any user.
The Xi3 processing core allows multiple processing units to be added or subtracted as dictated by application or user demands. Additionally, units can be hooked up to work together with the original cube to increase functionality in a network-like environment, allowing additional processing capability to be added to the processing core or subsystems to satisfy the new processing requirements. The ability to strip out the same units to create additional workstations provides the elusive flexibility to a successful infrastructure Relevant Products/Services.
According to Sullivan, the unit can also be hooked up to multiple monitors so that users can multi-task as needed for both work uses and entertainment purposes.
"If someone wanted to watch a movie while doing work in another program, they can do that, all from one cube instead of having to have multiple systems operating at the same time," Sullivan said. "The unique thing is the functionality of the Xi3 architecture, which can be interchangeable to do whatever the user needs the system for."
By using interchangeable circuitboards, logic chips and interfaces, users can easily change the functions of the PCU cube to meet their needs without having to change the computer's core processor.
The system will work with all applications that are currently on the market, which can be downloaded into the system through digital online technology. Sullivan said that with most applications available online, it reduces the need for users to purchase the programs and then install them on their systems. The unit is designed to store data on flash drives. It has two gigabytes of memory, utilizes a standard Intel processor and operates at speeds comparable to today's industry standards. Since the cube is so small, it also uses one-third less power than standard computers. The unit can be used with most types of keyboards and monitors and has a variety of USB ports that users might need to extend its capabilities.
