Cloud all services: Start-up company Numecent may change the entire software industry

With the rise of cloud computing, it is increasingly felt that the next gold rush will come from the cloud. No, cloud computing's rookie 3721.html ">numecent is emerging, and it could become a disruptive player in enterprise-class software, video gaming and smartphone apps, and even change the way the entire software industry works. A partnership agreement has been reached with red hat companies to help them translate Windows software to the Linux platform.

The new technology invented by Numecent is called "cloud-paging", which can instantly cloud any software without any compilation, even on an operating system like Windows. And these cloud-based software can run faster than the local desktop. Although many desktop virtual services perform well, cloud-paging technology allows software to run even when disconnected. It can also turn smartphones into a server, which means that many devices such as tablets can run various software via smartphones. This is done because cloud-paging technology is not a "pixel stream" (pixel-streaming) technology used in other virtual services. Instead, it allows the software to be downloaded and run on the device in real time. It can be surprisingly predictable to what part of the user needs to apply and only download this part.

For businesses, the above may not be the most important part. It will help businesses save on additional licensing costs associated with cloud services. For example, Microsoft's license to its software is based on equipment, not fees (if a company has 100 computers, it needs to buy 100 copies of Microsoft software, although 100 belong to a boss). You can check out Microsoft's full licensing agreement (PDF) here. This service almost saves most of the cost to the enterprise. Instead, Cloud-paging takes a "full power control" (licencing) mode, which allows users to use software just like in the library to read books, just to enter the museum certification, as to what to find the use of books, completely by the user control. The company's beta service is currently being used in 11 universities in the UK.

Using cloud-paging, students are almost entirely free to use software, and based on this licensing model, universities can be maximized. It also allows students to access their own licenses, such as allowing students to use Photoshop for 1 hours before returning to the system. Numecent currently does not run its own cloud services, but it sells its own software to host providers and businesses, and plans to use cloud-paging technology to build many derivative companies. In this way, it can extend the technology to other technical areas and have the ability to compete with potential customers. Numecent has established its first derivative company, Approxy, an online gaming cloud service platform.

At the same time, numecent more and more attention of large companies, it is reported that red Hot company has reached a partnership with the program. Use numecent technology on Linux servers to convert various Windows applications to Linux virtual desktops. Linux users can also be completely free to enjoy Microsoft's various software services. It is reported that Numecent has now received 2 million of dollars in investment.
