USA Today: Xi3 Corporation Signs PC Mall as a North American Direct Market Reseller
The Xi3 Modular Computer and other Xi3 products are now available via PCMall.com and each of PC Mall’s various divisions
SALT LAKE CITY — May 2, 2012 — Xi3 Corporation today announced that it has signed a reseller agreement with PC Mall (NASDAQ:MALL).
Under terms of the agreement, Xi3® Modular™ Computers are now available from PCMall.com and each of PC Mall’s various subsidiaries throughout the United States and Canada. As additional Xi3 products begin shipping, they will also be available through PC Mall.
“We are pleased to partner with PC Mall as Xi3’s first reseller with a complete North American footprint,” said Jason A. Sullivan, Xi3 founder/president. “We look forward to working with the PC Mall team to help take the Xi3 Modular Computer and future Xi3 products to PC Mall customers everywhere.”
According to Xi3, the design, adaptability and energy efficiency of the Xi3 Modular Computer make it the smallest, fastest, longest-lasting and lowest total cost x86-based computer on the planet. The top three features/benefits of the Xi3 Modular Computer are
- A new x86-based design comprised of 3 interconnected miniature boards that gives customers the ability to add new functionality by replacing a mini-board to extend the life of an Xi3 Modular Computer;
- An ecofriendly 20 Watts to operate versus 100—400 Watts for most desktop computers means the energy savings alone could pay for each Xi3 Modular Computer.
- A very small form factor for an x86-based computer (~4 inches or less per side, for an external measurement of less than 57 cubic inches.) Each Xi3 Modular Computer takes up very little space, whether used on a desk or table, in a server rack or embedded into a larger system.
“We’re pleased to be chosen as Xi3’s first national reseller for both the U.S. and Canada,” said Kris Rogers, executive vice president, PC Mall. “The Xi3 is a unique modular computer that is eco-friendly and takes up very little space.”
About the Xi3 Modular Computer
The initial Xi3 Modular Computer (Model X5A-5342) is powered by a dual-core x86-based AMD processor that can boot Windows 7 Professional in less than 25 seconds. Its adaptable and building block-like architecture make the Xi3 Modular Computer ideal for desktop, enterprise and specialty applications, and it can run any x86-based application and operating system (including Windows, Linux, Unix and more). Since it only needs a very ecofriendly 20 Watts of power to operate and has a projected useful life of 6-10 years, the Xi3 Modular Computer has one of the lowest Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) levels on the planet.
