Omnix International incorporates Hardware Optimization Technology to improve design workflows within AEC and Oil & Gas industry
Omnix International, an end-to-end digital solutions and services pioneer, announces the next-generation version of its Hardware Optimization Technology (HOT) Systems workstations and laptops powered by Intel’s 12th generation processors. The workstations are designed and configured to meet the needs and standards across diverse sectors which include Architecture, Engineering & Construction (AEC), Oil & Gas, Manufacturing and Product Design as well as Media and Entertainment. The unique optimization methodology developed by Omnix R&D team enabled on these stations improve productivity for time critical manufacturing and oil and gas projects and ensure maximum performance and speed for AEC based applications, besides other strong capabilities.
Omnix’s specialized hardware division professionally custom builds and develop their in-house brand named as HOT Systems. The product portfolio ranges from workstations, laptops, servers, render boxes, render farms and collaborative cloud for professional applications such as Autodesk, Adobe, Rhino, Lumion, Unity, Enscape, Twin Motion, Dassault Systèmes, Arc GIS, Cinema 4D to name some.
Developed in-house by the research and development team, the upgraded HOT Systems workstations are fitted with the latest Intel 12th generation alder lake processors. 12th Generation processors from Intel offers a unique combination of Performance-Core and Efficient-core (P-core and E-core) designed for professional applications to match the scale of performance. Performance Core is Intel’s highest performing CPU core and is designed to maximize single-thread performance and responsiveness for computer intensive workloads like CAD and 3D design. While the E-Core delivers multithreaded performance for tasks that can run in parallel, along with efficient offload of background tasks for modern multitasking.
“Omnix International has deep rooted associations with the AEC, Oil & Gas, Government and Education sectors for over three decades. Our understanding of client’s workflow requirements has inspired our in-house Research & Development team to deliver technology that maximizes design application production efficiencies and system performances, while eliminating bottle necks and accelerating workflows all on a hardware integrated platform. We are extremely pleased to offer our customers the new and improved HOT System workstations, Laptops, Render nodes, Collaborative Servers, and Custom Cloud solutions. This is a testament of our ongoing commitment towards innovation and the need for continuous improvement,” said Simran Bagga, Head of Engineering at Omnix.
In addition, HOT Systems are also supported by the latest DDR5 memories, newer motherboard chipset, and PCI express 5, which doubles the bandwidth and delivers consistent improvement in performances within 2D & 3D, AR/VR, Analysis and Simulation based applications. The New DMI 4.0 Link enhances high-speed networking, offers more peripherals and larger storage. As the cores are now divided between performance and efficiency, the Performance-core can run two threads at once via hyper threading. These capabilities are well designed for integration within the latest Windows 11 environment.
HOT Systems have evolved as an industry standard providing software and hardware integrated solutions for demanding CAD, BIM, Graphics and Point cloud applications in the Middle East Region. The hardware offers a unique optimization methodology that enable enhanced software and hardware performances and meets the highest quality and performance standards which are purpose built for professional workflows. The technology increases productivity by up to 33% to 35%.
Omnix International works with major clients and has sold more than 2000 plus units installed across the region. The R&D and testing centers are based in the UAE, India and USA where various applications and hardware compatibilities are tested and certified. HOT Systems products are proudly built in the UAE with industry standard components from major components manufacturers and products are shipped across– UAE, Oman, Kuwait, KSA, Qatar, Bahrain and expanding to newer territories.

Project Art initiative returns to empower both local artists and international women
Project Art, the interactive initiative designed to provide Dubai’s best artists a free space to exhibit their work, will return this month for its first show of 2022 – and as well as empowering Dubai’s creative community, it hopes to empower the emirate’s female artists with a special focus on International Women’s Day.
Hosted at Zabeel House by Jumeirah, The Greens, the popular three-week Project Art residency will start on February 17 and finish on March 11, three days after International Women’s Day on March 8, with Dubai-based French artist Leiana (@art_by_leiana) showcasing a selection of female-inspired artwork from her Les Françaises collection.
“I live by colours, movement, and texture and always seek the wow effect in my pieces,” said Leiana, who moved to Dubai six years ago and started painting as a hobby. “The opportunity to have my work exhibited at Zabeel House is a dream come true and even more so as part of International Women’s Day celebrations. Painting for me is an escape from the stresses of modern life; a simple way to relax. I look forward to sharing that process with visitors.”
Leiana will lead a live painting experience on February 21 at 10am in the hotel’s lobby, where spectators will have the opportunity to get up close and personal with the artist, observe her technique, ask questions, and learn a little more about her journey from France to the funkiest neighbourhood hangout in Dubai. The artist’s completed work will be available for purchase, as will all her other pieces.
“Project Art is all about empowerment, so the opportunity to show our support to the burgeoning art community while also celebrating International Women’s Day feels like the perfect moment to bring back what proved a very popular initiative when we launched last year,” said Marcus Sutton, General Manager at Zabeel House by Jumeirah, The Greens. “Leiana’s work is incredibly inspiring and with Les Françaises focusing on strong, independent women, I’m sure her residency will motivate many others to pursue their passion.”
