NextBend's patented UniStac Personal DataCenter system solves significant problems for home owners, small businesses, service providers and digital product developers/manufacturers.

Consumers/Subscribers

Consumers and subscribers want products that are reliable and easy to buy and use. They also want a unified comprehensive system that gives them centralized control. None of them wants a system that will have to be replaced every time a new technology is introduced or one that requires constant maintenance.

NextBend's UniStac Personal DataCenter™ is designed to address all of those issues.

Service Providers

Service providers are currently deploying at least three different types of boxes; set-top (with various combinations of features), VoIP and modem appliances. Each require a separate connection to the network, other products and power. In the case of the set-top, every time the subscriber wants a new feature set it requires another truck roll to swap boxes.

With NextBend's UniStac Personal DataCenter™ system all the products become part of a single system with common power and communications. Additional product Decks can be added by the subscriber - no truck roll required.

Product/Application Developers

Digital products are proliferating at an incredible rate and most are proprietary technology islands. Finding compatible products with which to build a system is becoming increasingly difficult and confused buyers are staying away in droves.

NextBend's UniStac Personal DataCenter™ solves the problem of identifing compatible products and provides a framework for interoperability. The UniStac Personal DataCenter™ application Decks also provide a stable platform; one that allows applications to be tested on exactly the same hardware and configuration on which they will be delivered to the end user.

"In other words, throw everything in your entertainment center into a big pile on the floor and then toss your computer, telephone and home security system on top of it...now tap it with your magic wand to get it all working together -- that's UniStac." Aaron Mitchell - editor - The Digital Daily
