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
