RAVE Computer named 2017 Intel Partner of the Year

STERLING HEIGHTS, Mich., June 27, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- RAVE is proud to announce it has been named the 2017 Partner of the Year by Intel Corporation its innovation of the MOBILBEAST VR computer. RAVE is a computer hardware manufacturer that integrates world class solutions that empower the people driving the digital revolution.

RAVE became an Intel(®) Channel Partner Premier Member in 2005 and was also honored at the 2006 Intel Solutions Summit with the Rookie of the Year Award. Since then we have won Intel(®) Partner of the Year four more times.

RAVE developed a portable solution to take their photo-realistic rendering and virtual reality demonstrations on the road. We now offer the most powerful small-form-factor workstation in the world. RAVE's liquid-cooled MOBILEBEAST VR system allows you to set up a professional VR studio virtually anywhere.

Working with our technology partners, RAVE designed a portable around the optimal combination of an Intel(®) Xeon(®) processor and high-performance graphics. RAVE thoroughly evaluated a wide range of Intel Xeon(®) E5 processors and found the E5-1650 v4 ideal for most professional VR applications. Although the MOBILBEAST VR supports all Intel(®) Xeon(®) E5 processors, the E5-1650 v4 processor's 6 cores were ideal due to the higher clock speed. Since these processors dissipate up to 145w of power RAVE designed a custom liquid cooling solution to remove heat from our small form factor chassis.

RAVE provides "Quadro SLI" capability in this product, which means we can install two Nvidia Quadro(®) professional workstation graphics cards and have them run in sync with each card providing half of the output.

"Creating the MOBILEBEAST VR was a challenging project that the team took very seriously. We are all thrilled to have created such a powerful machine that is also small and portable. In the end, our custom liquid cooling system was the key to enabling the level of performance and reliability we're now delivering to professional VR users around the country," Karl Rosenberger, Director of Product Development, RAVE Computer.
