Hi All: Thanks to this forum we had an opportunity to connect to Phil Sim and over the weekend to pre-launch our product at the Influencer forum convened by MediaConnect in beautiful Hunter Valley.
Our company is called "TechNovus Corp" a start-up from Adelaide, Australia. The co-founders are Richard Surace and myself. Richard and I were MBA classmates in the University of South Australia. Website etc, will be coming soon. Our company will be targeting the cloud computing, software as a service landscape in Australia, NZ and Oceania. At the forum, we had an opportunity to demo our first product, the Nova Navigator. Nova Navigator is a cloud computer. A cloud computer is a combination of a hardware device and software services delivered through the Internet (broadband connection). The hardware device (Nova Navigator) will cost $199 to $249 (price to be confirmed), which needs to be connected to a monitor, keyboard and mouse. Through an Internet connection, the operating system, applications and storage will be delivered. The managed solution will provide a "no virus, no spyware and no maintenance" solution to users. Users can subscribed to software on on Windows, Linux or Mac OS. We will be supporting all the three major operating systems from one device. The Nova Navigator was developed by our Indian partner, Novatium Solutions. Sadly, the internet connection did not work and the demo was a dudd! However, at the expo later it started working and I was able to demo the product to few of the journos interested in it. I got a lot of good feedback from them. William Maher, the online editor of PC Authority was really interested and did a good story on it. http://www.pcauthority.com.au/News/123367,nova-navigator-%E2%80%9Ccloud-computer%E2%80%9D-runs-linux-windows.aspx I have had contact with a lot of other journos and more will be coming I guess. Our official launch will be in October and more details will be coming soon. I wanted to share my experience of how Silicon Beach Australia's community has been helpful in getting us to launch our company and connect to many other people!
