VX Series for Value Desktop Systems
Proven Performance Xi Graphics' Accelerated-X SW has earned, over the past fifteen years, a reputation for speed, stability, and very low maintenance. It is used by individuals, companies, and government organizations. Hassle-free Software If the objective is to install, configure, and forget, then Accelerated-X is the ticket. If devising workarounds to buggy SW or rebooting after hangs is not a bother, well then ... , maybe not. Free Maintenance Support Xi Graphics has provided free maintenance support, as well as free support for most kernels and platform updates to the OSs and platforms that we support, and has done so for the entire existence of the Company - nearly fifteen years. Free Downloadable Demos Various standard system configurations are available - as Series "Editions" - for download and testing on your target systems. If a particular Edition satisfies your application needs, a License Key can be purchased on-line with a credit card. A list of public demos available is further down the page, with links.		Monitor Configurations All monitor views are fully hardware-accelerated. Configurations are available for multiple xscreens, or "stretched desktop," if the graphics system has two or more monitor connections. OS And Platform Choices The VX Series is available on x86, and SPARC platforms, with Solaris, and Linux kernels, depending upon the GPU. Contact us with your system requirements - we may be able to pull the pieces together for you. Special System Needs? The VX Series SW is flexible, allowing special features to be quickly designed to fit new or unusual requirements. Contact us with your requirements. Summit Series Licensing All instance of Summit Series SW is licensed to a computer system using node locking. License Keys from one system generally cannot be used on another system, even with the same graphics card or GPU. Customers with large numbers and/or dispersed systems can obtain Maintenance Keys that will enable repaired systems to be brought on-line while a replacement permanent License Key obtained.

There are a considerable number of configurations available in the VX Series. A few are available as public downloads that can be tested to provide examples of ease of installation, level of performance, and stability of the SW.

The list of features shown on the left provide an indication of the large potential in the VX Series.

For more details on individual features, see the Features section.

The emphasis of the public demos is obviously economy and therefore geared for the SysAdmin who need many systems with few options.

However, very powerful configurations of the VX Series can be quickly created for special requirements. Contact us with your needs.

VX Series Public Demos

Some Demos of the VX Series Editions are available to the public for free download and testing. Links to those currently available are provided in the table to the right. Others will be added from time to time.

GPUs that are currently supported in the VX Series are listed below. Other graphics hardware may be added as requirements and graphics chip documentation is made available to Xi Graphics.

There is a timer in the demos that will stop the X server about every 25 minutes, but it can be restarted any number of times.

For extended testing without interruption, qualified prospects may obtain an "Extended Testing License Key" that will allow the demo to operate for extended periods and then expire completely.

Xi Graphics' support begins with pre-sales help with configuration issues and other issues with installation of demos, etc.

Should your requirements include a different mixture of features, or optional feature not in the standard demos, contact us with your needs. We may be able to quickly generate a custom demo for you.

Permanent License Keys for Public Demos that satisfy your needs and requirements after testing can be purchased on-line or over the phone with a credit card. Keys are processed manually during normal work hours (Mountain Time, USA). Use the "BuyLicenseKey" menu button in the top bar for the procedure for ordering Keys.
