Numecent is a Irvine, California-based software company. The company develops a technology platform which delivers native software applications from cloud computing servers using virtualization technology. The patented technology, known as "cloudpaging", allows the delivery of pre-virtualized software instructions to a user's machine on-demand, where the instructions are executed as soon as they are received. ==History== Numecent's roots started in 1999 as a DARPA project at U.C. Irvine with Arthur Hitomi, one of three scientists who had formed Endeavors Technology Inc., an Irvine, California-based software development company. The project connected computers and mobile devices to Internet work groups and developed an application delivery technology to support these groups. In 2000, Tadpole Technology PLC, a maker of mobile computing devices and software, purchased Endeavors. In 2004, Tadpole also acquired Stream Theory, a California-based software company that developed technology for deploying application software over the Internet and across enterprise networks, with a focus on the gaming market. Those two companies constituted the genesis of the technology for cloudpaging. In 2007, after patenting its application streaming technology, Tadpole decided to focus solely on developing that business. In 2008, Tadpole changed its name to Endeavors Technologies Inc. Endeavors' technology caught the attention of Osman Kent, who had sold 3Dlabs to Creative Labs in 2002. Tadpole had gone into administration during the 2008 credit crunch, and Kent bought the streaming technology IP and patents from the administrators, and formed Numecent Holdings. While the company was in stealth mode perfecting the technology, two employees started a Boston-based spinoff called Software2, to help universities deploy Microsoft Windows applications on physical machines and on the cloud. In 2012, Numecent publicly launched with Kent as CEO. In 2013, Numecent and Software2 announced their partnership, with Numecent's flagship cloudpaging product, Application Jukebox Suite, deployed at 40 universities in the UK. In March 2015, Numecent announced the hiring of former Broadcom Executive Vice President Tom Lagatta as CEO, and that Osman Kent was promoted to the role of Executive Chairman. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Numecent」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
