Preconfigured Windows XPe Optimizes Digital Signage Systems
Scala extends industry standard platform to Equus & Panasonic PCs
Exton, PA (PRWEB) May 23, 2005 - Scala, Inc. (www.scala.com), the world’s leading software platform for
digital signage, today announced preconfigured Microsoft Windows XPe for PC
platforms from Equus and Panasonic. This furthers Scala’s commitment to overall
system performance and reliability.
XPe is an optimized version of
Microsoft Windows XP Pro specifically meant for embedded systems, such as Scala.
“This embedded version has been customized through selection of specific OS
components by Scala's R&D Team,” said Jeffrey Porter, Scala Executive
Vice-President. “Because it’s preconfigured for Scala applications, customers
will find this version of XPe to have a much lower Total Cost of Ownership
compared to an off-the-shelf version of Windows XP Pro.”
XPe from Scala
has been shown to deliver optimal performance in 24x7, non-stop system
environments, while retaining the benefits and compatibility of industry
standard Windows XP Pro.
Preconfigured XPe is available on the new ASUS
Pundit-R Small Form Factor PC from Equus. This system is based on the high
performance ATI RS300 chipset, providing outstanding graphics performance and
support for most 16x9 resolutions needed for digital signage applications.
Preconfigured XPe is also available for the Panasonic Plugin PC VC250.
Scala resellers will be able to purchase the PluginPC from Panasonic
preconfigured and loaded with XPe.
Several Scala distributors, including
ActiveLight (www.activelight.com), will bundle Equus or Panasonic PCs with
XPe for customers who desire a single-source for complete digital signage system
components.
