History of Novatium

Novatium is the brainchild of three visionaries from the dotcom and communications world - Rajesh Jain, Ashok Jhunjhunwala, and Ray Stata – who came together to take computing to the next billion. Their mission was to simplify computing for the billion, thus making it affordable.
Novatium has travelled far from the incubation stage and is now an established technology solutions company providing computing as a simplified solution to homes across India and SMEs across the globe.

	The netPC is a simple and effective computing device that does not carry the burden of the CPU, software, hard disc, and RAM – all these reside in the central server at the administrator’s end.
	All applications, software, and data are maintained at the central server.
	The netPC is based on mobile and media player chips – this reduces the cost and the power consumption by the device.
	It is multimedia enabled, with the capacity to provide real-time multimedia experience.
	It is compatible with Windows/Linux/Solaris Operating Systems.
	It can support multiple USB peripherals (USB pen drive, USB hard disk, USB printer, Digital cameras, etc.), speakers and microphone.

	All applications and data reside in a common server maintained by the administrator, thus the complexity of software upgrades and maintenance is moved away from the user – unlike a PC, where maintenance is the main concern post-purchase.
	This server-based computing reduces all problems of hardware asset management.
	netPC can be used like any other home appliance – just switch on and log-in.
	netPC comes Internet ready - there is no need to look for Internet Service Providers for Internet access.
	Management of all applications, antivirus care, and security of your data is not your concern; it is our responsibility.
	With regular data backup being done at the administrator’s end, your data is secure in the netPC.
	netPC consumes just 5 watts of power and also does not require air conditioned environment – so there is no direct or hidden increase in power consumption charges

3. If I buy a netPC how can I deal with the usual concerns that a regular PC brings?

	What is the type of processor and its speed; how much RAM is available; what is the hard disk capacity?
	Should I install Linux or other OS, antivirus software and other software?
	When do I have to look for memory upgrades?
	Do I need to purchase a UPS along with the netPC?
	Do I need to install any backup software?
	Do I need to purchase additional security devices?

The two drawbacks of buying a regular PC are maintenance issues and additional software requirements.
With a netPC, the abovementioned issues (questions a to f) are solved by the administrator at the server end because complexities like maintenance of software and upgrades related to PC are kept away from the user. You need not install any operating system, worry about memory upgrades or backup software, or purchase a UPS or any additional software. These are handled by the administrator.

DUDM – Desktop Utility Delivery Model – is the globally patented breakthrough technology developed by Novatium. With DUDM, your desktop is delivered to your homes through the netPC and computing can be availed as a service – pay only for what you use. All data security and applications maintenance and upgrades are taken care of by the server administrator.

5. What is server-centric computing?

Server-centric computing is the main principle of DUDM technology, wherein all computing complexities, including the user’s desktop, is based in a remote server. This makes the network computer – the netPC – in the user’s premises just a device that takes up requests from the user and provides output through the screen.
