NextBend
Corporation is a technology research company focused on improving
the delivery, performance, reliability and usability of digital technologies.
Currently the connected home space is dominated by single box solutions,
none of which is scalable and few if any are selling beyond the early
adopter market segment. Each of these boxes represents an ad hoc answer
to a problem that by its nature demands an integrated, scalable, comprehensive
solution.
NextBend's
patented, modular UniStac
Personal DataCenter™ concept is designed to be that
integrated, scalable, comprehensive solution for
homes and small to mid-sized businesses (SMB). The
UniStac system packages and delivers existing and future digital media
applications and other digital technologies in a way that makes sense
to service providers, consumers and product developers. UniStac is
a new system that is capable of replacing existing products, like
bulky consumer electronics components, and working with legacy products
thus allowing the consumer to transition piecemeal over time to a
new system.
The
UniStac Personal DataCenter™ will eliminate
the complexity and confusion that is limiting the evolution and adoption
of connected home and SMB products. Breaking this logjam will release
pent-up demand for digital media and digital products that are easy
to buy, install and use. Enterprise systems are evolving from distributed
(ad hoc) to centralized modular data centers (infrastructure) and
systems for the home and SMB must likewise evolve from their current
ad hoc state to a centralized modular personal data center and UniStac
provides the framework for that evolution.
No
one wants to make a significant investment in any system that cannot
grow with their business or personal needs. Users do not want to be
forced to anticipate future needs and pay for excess capacity that
they don't currently need. The scalable UniStac Personal DataCenter
system concept will allow users to add new products, features and
capacity as needs and finances dictate. Stackable UniStac products
work together to form a scalable, centralized personal data center
for the home or SMB. UniStac is a data center for the rest of us and
everything from Televisions and speakers to smart displays and security
sensors become networked IO devices.
The
company seeks manufacturing partners/licensees to make the UniStac
Personal DataCenter concept a reality.
