Numecent Tapped as a Gartner 'Cool Vendor'May 24, 2013 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- Numecent, Inc. announced it has been named a 'Cool Vendor in Client Computing' by Gartner Inc. an IT research and advisory company. According to a release, each year, Gartner identifies new "Cool Vendors" in key technology areas and publishes a series of research reports highlighting these innovative and potentially disruptive companies as well as their products and services. Numecent was recognized for its cloudpaging platform which provides friction-free delivery and provisioning of native applications from the cloud. The company said Cloudpaging can Cloudify and optionally SaaSify any Microsoft Windows-based application and deliver it from the Cloud almost instantly with a zero installation footprint on the client device. It is a technology that scales to millions of users with minimal server and network footprint. The company added that, unlike expensive remoting solutions which can't scale, Cloudpaging does not push pixels from the cloud the technology actually transmits pre-virtualized native software instructions (a page at a time and on-demand) which are then executed on the client device at full performance. As a result, Cloudpaged applications can reduce network usage by up to 95 percent and can become Web-scale with minimal server footprint. Additionally, customers can optionally deploy subscription-based models such as SaaS for their native applications with no changes whatsoever to the underlying software. Numecent's technology allows native applications to behave like Web apps, but still maintain the full feature set, inter-application compatibility and performance of native applications software can even be run offline. "We are delighted to have been named a Cool Vendor by Gartner, one of the world's most trusted and respected analyst firms," said Osman Kent, co-founder and CEO of Numecent. "We are on a laser-guided mission to make software delivery and provisioning totally friction-free for everyone involved in the software food-chain. With the huge interest and traction Numecent has already received, we believe we are on the right trajectory." Numecent provides friction-free provisioning of native applications from the cloud through its patented Cloudpaging solution.
