SoftXpand Ecoware offers you Multiseat Computing.

This multi-award winning company offers SoftXpand™ software which is based on a simple fact; today’s PCs are so powerful that the vast majority of applications use only a small fraction of the computer’s capacity. SoftXpand taps this unused capacity so that it can be simultaneously shared by multiple users, spreading out the cost of the PC, and providing double the number of seats for the same money.

This innovation is a breakthrough in that it is the first solution that provides true PC performance to multiple workstations while reducing budget expenditure and carbon footprint. The secret of SoftXpand Ecoware is that the software balances host PC resources between the central processor unit (CPU) and the video cards’ graphics processor units (GPU).

Each user gets their own virtual workspace including applications, settings, files and preferences and the users may not even know that they are sharing a PC.

When this was seen by Scott Knowles, the ICT Director for the Derbyshire & Nottinghamshire Chamber of Commerce, he said, “This is the best IT innovation I have seen for over 2 years.”

Kira Supplies Ltd’s SoftXpand Ecoware solution contains high specification components which have been selected for maximum reliability, high speed processing and low energy consumption. Kira Supplies Ltd is ISO 14001 certified and to reduce our carbon footprint, all our administration office PCs are Ecoware Systems.

The system utilises the very best components from quality manufacturers. The high specification motherboard with its multi core CPU offers users the very best in processing speed.

The main processor operates in conjunction with a series of NVIDIA GeForce graphics processing units (GPU’s). These offload graphics processing from the CPU and increase overall system performance.

In addition to improving performance, the GeForce graphics cards also deliver advanced 3D graphics and video features to provide an incredible multimedia experience on each workstation.

The host PC features a full 80plus certified power supply. 80plus is an initiative to promote more electrical energy efficient computer power supply units (PSU).

When Steve Hodkinson, the IT technician at St Mary’s Catholic Primary School in Derbyshire was ask what he thought of the Ecoware systems Kira Supplies had installed 3 years earlier in 2008, he said “our Ecoware Systems are still going strong. They have been a big hit with the teachers who make a beeline for the Ecoware Systems over the conventional machines. They can logon quicker and as you know time is at a premium in the world of teaching”
