Concurrent Intros ImaGen Real-Time Visual Server

ImaGen RL offers high-performance graphics in compact package

ORLANDO, Fla., Dec. 2 -- I/ITSEC -- Concurrent, a worldwide leader in real-time Linux-based computing technologies, today announced the availability of ImaGen RL, a new low-profile member of Concurrent's ImaGen family of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) visual servers. Powered by Concurrent's RedHawk real-time Linux, ImaGen servers deliver fully-integrated, affordable, high-performance PC-based Image Generator (PC-IG) solutions.

ImaGen RL delivers a 1U (1.75 in.), low-profile PC-IG form factor for simplified rack or stack integration into synthetic environments. Real-time simulation and modeling applications with space restrictions will benefit from the flexibility of stacking multiple ImaGen RL servers with an Ethernet switch in a 14U rackmount enclosure.

"ImaGen RL answers a growing demand for more compact, lower-cost training system solutions," said Jim Brickmeier, vice president, Product Line Management, Concurrent. "We are pleased to offer this sophisticated, integrated 3D visual solution to our customers in the simulation and training industry who need increased graphics performance in a small form factor."

Concurrent's ImaGen family offers the most flexible, multi-channel Linux-based graphics platforms available today. The servers can be custom configured to address a broad range of price/performance requirements and feature a wide range of NVIDIA graphics cards including the latest high-performance Quadro FX 5800. Applications for ImaGen RL include civil and military simulation, mission planning, homeland security, scientific and medical visualization, architectural design, energy exploration and entertainment.

ImaGen platforms are built using the latest COTS components from leading suppliers. They are powered by RedHawk Linux, the industry's leading Linux distribution for deterministic, real-time applications. ImaGen supports a wide range of 3D visualization software, such as Presagis Vega Prime, OpenSceneGraph, Disti's GL Studio, Altia Design, OpenGL and OpenGL Performer.

Concurrent is showcasing ImaGen technology at this year's I/ITSEC show in Orlando, Fla., Dec. 1-4, booth # 3501. The Interservice/Industry Training, Simulation and Education Conference (I/ITSEC) promotes cooperation among the armed services, industry, academia and various government agencies in pursuit of improved training and education programs, identification of common training issues and development of multi-service programs.
