Nova netPC is the product of Novatium’s quest for a simple, affordable, and practical computing device that is ideal for both homes and enterprises. Nova netPC retains most of the functionalities of a typical PC but moves the complexities of software and hardware maintenance and upgrade as well as data security to a central server.
