Once we won the NSF grant to develop HIPerWall, we had to decide the exact details of the hardware to purchase and nail down the hardware and software architecture. We knew that we wanted high-resolution flat panel monitors driven by powerful computers connected via a Gigabit Ethernet switch. We also knew that we did not…
Commercial Integrator published an article on the Hiperwall system built with NEC monitors at Intelsat. Some great pictures of their beautiful system!
The HIPerWall system was a pretty impressive collection of hardware for 2005, with 50 processors (more were added later), 50 GB of RAM, more that 10 TB of storage (we got a gift of 5TB worth of drives for our RAID system from Western Digital), and 50 of the nicest monitors available, but it was…
Many video walls show critical information to help maintain the safety of a community or the productivity of a manufacturing plant or to monitor the behavior of complex networks and systems. The data and video feeds on these video walls are essential to the success of their organizations. So how do we make sure your…
We are hiring at least one Territory Sales Representative to sell Hiperwall systems. We are looking for candidates that have some sales experience (a year or two), as well as basic understanding of computer networking. Hiperwall is a startup that makes software to drive video wall systems, and as our software scales for systems with…

Talking about this is a little scary, particularly in California, where my opinion won’t be popular, but…
