A business revolution is kicking off, led by Intel's compact and powerful Next Unit of Computing (NUC) devices, which can substantially increase efficiency in practically any sector.
Intel's next generation kit is big on performance but surprisingly small in size. It's also flexible; the device is available as a kit or a board so you can customise it with the exact features and components you need.
Powered by Intel processors on a four-by-four-inch motherboard and enclosed in a tiny case, the intelligent NUC device is ideal for applications that require performance but are space restricted, including digital signage, customer service kiosks, home theatre systems and digital jukeboxes. The NUC does come with Vesa mount brackets to mount behind screens.
Using Intel's NUC using Intel Core i5 processor (Horse Canyon), your business can reduce downtime and substantially increase effectiveness. With triple display capabilities and remote repair technology, you can expand your market as you shrink your IT requirements: Intel vPro technology allows your IT service provider to remotely manage or repair your system, wherever you are.

Thunderbolt

Meanwhile, Thunderbolt technology dramatically increases data transfer rates and enables daisy chain peripherals, resulting in a difference in performance that you can truly see and feel.
Unlike other small computing devices, the Intel NUC with Intel Core i3 processor provides powerful performance and stunning visuals with dual HDMI ports to power two screens. The Intel NUC with Intel Celeron processor and its customisable engine can be used to drive simple digital signage such as menus, news, weather, and corporate messaging, as well as basic home entertainment and intelligent computing for small spaces.
From digital displays in high traffic areas to driving corporate messages into two different monitors, from intelligent vending to digital surveillance, Intel NUC gives you the flexible and customisable solution you need for an embedded environment.

Shrink the desktop

Alternatively, the Intel NUC can turn your retail kiosk into a digital sales machine or work as a secure PC replacement to shrink your desktop in the office, at school or home.
The device is also perfect for the entire home environment. With eight channel audio, HDMI and wireless capabilities, you can fully experience online entertainment content. The customisable interface means Intel NUC can drive home entertainment systems so you can experience your movies, photos, and music anywhere you want. You can wirelessly stream to other devices in your home or office, as well as taking advantage of a seamless connection to your smartphone.
The NUC can also be used for massive multiplayer online gaming (MMOG), or a 2-in-1 system for your kitchen or home office. Meanwhile, Intel Smart Connect Technology allows automatic updates of your email and social networks even when your computer is asleep.
As the business market becomes even more competitive, it's wise to consider the Intel NUC in both your office and home. The basic, affordable, customisable computing kit offers a world of flexibility.
The tiny but powerful device is available now, from Intel NUC distributors including: Avnet, Computer 2000, Ingram and Microtronica - part of Techdata group. Resellers can also purchase fully built systems and brand themselves, by purchasing from Enta Tech UK Ltd.
