DEMOfall: Building and Maintaining the Application Infrastructure
Canadian company. Encapsulates applications to make them platform independent. A virtualization solution.
Initial Reaction: I can't offer an intelligent opinion on this one.
Takes a step back in time in some ways in order to share one computer among several people. The idea is to drive the cost of computing down. Currently at $70 per user. Deployed in rural K-12 schools and developing countries. A new take on the notion of the $100 laptop.
Initial Reaction: I can see this working as long as performance is adequate.
A Linux based email server compatible with Exchange. The PostPath server looks and acts just like Exchange and claims to work with anything that works with Exchange. They do it by mimicking Exchange protocols. Contacts, address book, email, all work seamlessly.
Initial Reaction: This one seems pretty impressive.
Application Continuity Appliance is the product. A hardware solution designed to ensure maximum uptime for Exchange server. Plug and play appliance. $45 million in funding.
Initial Reaction: Sounds like a good idea, but I'm not a hard core IT guy who understands what the alternatives are.
BriteWorks is the product. An application construction tool.
Initial Reaction: Looked really slick. Hard to evaluate in a 5 minute demo given the scope of what it claims to do.
Creates a marketplace for widgets. Designed to encourage more widget development. Makes it easier to add widgets to your own blog. A lot of the presentation was spent talking about what widgets are, how they work, etc. Not very much on the Widgetbox business.
Initial Reaction: I didn't see a business here. This feels like something built by developers for developers without a viable plan to make money.
