VIENNA, Va., Aug. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Criterion HPS, a leading provider of
high-end technology solutions today announced the availability of The Cube(TM)
C-5R Ruggedized Appliance.
    The Cube(TM), the world's premier green High Performance Computing
platform, is a high-speed, small footprint compute appliance that provides
true supercomputing capabilities and exceptional cost savings.  The C-5R model
is ideal for deployment and enables true, high power, computing on the edge
capabilities. This solution runs on a standard circuit of 110 volts at 20 amps
with minimal heat signature as it utilizes innovative spray cool inert liquid
technology.
Bob Coxe, former CTO of the U.S. Army and Technical Director, Criterion
HPC stated, "With The Cube(TM) C-5R you can now have an extremely high-end
environment ready to go in under 2 hours for deployment in the field, air or
sea." The Cube(TM) C-5R, originally developed for a highly classified
customer, has been tailored for deployment for various government agencies and
now the commercial market. This appliance has the potential for replacing
entire small computing rooms and revolutionizes how organizations buy its IT
infrastructure.
    Lt. General Thomas McInerney, former Assistant Vice-Chief of Staff of the
Air Force and member of the Criterion Board of Advisors stated, "I was
intimately involved with the development of this solution and I can tell you
The Cube(TM) is truly a remarkable technology."  He added, "The original
customer was very pleased with its performance, and I don't believe there is a
product on the market that comes close to the computing power and performance
in such a small, green, portable package."
    The Cube(TM) C-5R is the first offering of a family of Cube appliance
solutions from Criterion HPS.  The next generation of this solution, the C-10,
will be available in September.  The C-10 appliance will have many of the same
features as the C-5R and is ideal for the office environment.
