SGI's Professional Services Organization to Offer Viz3D, VizEveryWhere's Affordable Easy-to-Use Immersive Visualization Solution -- Silicon Graphics, a global leader in high-performance computing, storage and advanced visualization and VizEveryWhere, LLC, an integrator of affordable visualization solutions, announced a United States reseller agreement whereby SGI will sell VizEveryWhere's Viz3D immersive visualization solution to customers through SGI's Professional Services organization. SGI and VizEveryWhere's partnership will allow customers to extend the value of visualization throughout the organization by enabling workgroups to easily deploy and use visualization as a tool. VizEveryWhere's Viz3D is an integrated package that includes electronics, projectors, power, and connectivity. Compatible with any hardware platform that supports a graphics card with stereo signal output, it simplifies visualization for researchers and educators. With screen sizes ranging from five feet to 10 feet wide, Viz3D is extremely flexible and can be deployed either as a portable solution or as a permanently mounted front or rear projected display. "By aligning ourselves with VizEveryWhere, we can offer enticing comprehensive and integrated visualization solutions to our customers," said Bob Pette, director of professional services for North America, SGI. "Viz3D coupled with SGI visualization platforms enable SGI clients across all industry verticals to extend the use of visualization as a tool to a much broader group of users." "Given the affordability and ease of use of Viz3D, its availability with SGI's visualization servers and workstations will have a significant impact on the industry," said Leo Iantosca, CEO of VizEveryWhere. "With SGI's frontrunner status in the visualization market, we are confident in their ability to leverage Viz3D as an integral part of their complete visualization solutions." Because Viz3D offers an affordable, high quality immersive visualization solution, it reduces the financial and technical barriers to organizations wishing to offer those capabilities to broader audiences that include even non-technical users.
