ELSA Japan, LucidLogix and Teradici to Deliver a Powerful, Affordable External PCI-Express Remote 3D Graphics Solution

Business Wire, June 23, 2009

TOKYO -- ELSA Japan, LucidLogix Technologies “Lucid” and Teradici® today announced their collaboration in the designing, integrating and marketing of a powerful and affordable External PCI-Express Remote 3D Graphic Solution. ELSA Japan Inc, a leading company of computer graphic solutions (Tokyo, Minato-ku, CEO Jun Nagai) will be demonstrating this system at SGI Japan booth (23-14) at the 17th INDUSTRIAL VIRTUAL REALITY EXPO at Tokyo Big-Sight on June 24-26th.

SGI Japan demo system uses the ELSA Vridge X100 Quad 8 PCI-Express extension system powered by Lucid’s Hydra 100, to enable playback of high quality 3D graphics and HD video content remotely through an IP network delivered by Teradici’s PC-over-IP® technology. It is possible to install up to two NVIDIA Quadro FX 5800 boards and two ELSA VIXEL H200 remote host cards connected to ELSA Vridge system.

ELSA Vridge is based on the Lucid HYDRA real time distributed processing and connectivity chip. The HYDRA engine allows parallel usage of any GPU on any platform for the ability to share data between, to, and from all GPUs within the system. With HYDRA technology, ELSA has enabled a solution that delivers the horsepower required in a multi-GPU environment, while significantly improving the price/performance ratio.

The ELSA VIXEL is based on Teradici’s PC-over-IP technology which is an innovative display protocol that enables enterprise workstations to be centrally managed in a data center while providing high resolution, full frame rate 3D graphics and HD media, with full USB peripheral interoperability, locally over a LAN or remotely over a high-latency WAN.

“We found Lucid HYDRA technology to be key in providing a cost effective high-performance remote 3D graphics solution for our customers and shows great potential for expanding to the new markets,” said Jun Nagai, CEO of ELSA Japan. “SGI Japan’s demo combing technologies from Lucid and Teradici proves easy integration and compatibility, and the cooperation between the companies creates a smooth value chain and a unique solution that is already experiencing high traction in the market.”

With this new solution, customers can easily upgrade their existing workstation without worrying about lack of power or availability of PCI-Express slots.

“The flexibility of the Lucid HYDRA architecture makes it suitable for multiple market opportunities, including remote rendering, digital signage, visual simulation and computing space,” said Offir Remez, Lucid co-founder and President. “ELSA Japan is a leading brand in Japan with proven performance in these markets, and therefore we see a great synergy between the companies and I believe they have developed a winning platform for their channels.”
