FREMONT, CA — (Marketwire) — 10/26/12 — AMAX, a leading innovator of High Performance Computing (HPC), dynamic Enterprise IT, and custom Appliance Manufacturing solutions, today announced support for the latest Microsoft® Windows® 8 Operating System for its embedded appliances and various server and workstation platforms. The new OS delivers a more targeted, connected, feature-rich, business-ready, and secure Windows computing experience than ever before and is built with the cloud in mind.
AMAX-s embedded appliances, with x86 and x64 support and Windows 8 for Embedded Systems, will enable differentiated devices with the full power and familiarity of Windows 8 and extend business intelligence across the entire computing ecosystem. AMAX engineers embedded appliances that achieve extended life cycles, compact space-saving designs, are fan-less, and offer low-power consumption. AMAX embedded appliances with Windows 8 for Embedded Systems have been optimized for POS, kiosk, industrial embedded systems, as well as transaction terminals and will be available in Q1 2013.
