PsiNaptic, Novatium Sign Software Integration Agreement

PsiNaptic, the first company to implement standalone Jini Network Technology for embedded processors, and Novatium Solutions, a provider of sub $100 computers for Thin Client networking systems in India, have signed a definitive Software Integration and Licence Agreement.

Under the terms of the agreement, PsiNaptic will licence its JMatos and JCopia Jini Networking Technology for embedded computing devices and Java software to run on all of Novatium’s Nova NetPC and Servers. In addition, PsiNaptic will exclusively provide Novatium with Java applications, which will be made available to Novatium’s customers on its network. Novatium and PsiNaptic will share the revenue that Novatium will collect from customers using these applications.

Novatium is a player in the utility computing service domain, offering a wide variety of applications, utilities and content over local and remote desktop via telecom-network like ADSL and metro Ethernet. Novatium’s computing servers are placed behind the telecom and Internet service provider’s network backbone and directly extend the connection from ISP’s NOC (Network Operation Centre) to the subscriber’s home. At home, a subscriber uses the Nova netPC as an enabler and intelligent access device to enjoy local and remote desktops and applications.

“We are proud to have PsiNaptic as a valued partner in our utility computing service ecosystem,” says Alok Singh, Novatium’s CEO. “We believe that PsiNaptic will help us to enhance our subscriber experience through their technology and content.”
