Viewfinity Loads Systems Management To The Cloud For Remote Users

Start-up company Viewfinity has announced the release of version 2.5 of their cloud-based systems and privilege-management product. The management solutions use a technique called application encapsulation to maintain the integrity of the end-user desktop, as well as enabling quick rollback of user changes. Starting as a free product for up to 50 machines, Viewfinity brings software deployment and policy management to enterprise clients, no matter where they are located. According to Viewfinity, the encapsulation process separates the application and the user's Windows settings from the operating system itself. Using Viewfinity's system driver layer, encapsulation can be applied to applications already installed on the system, as well as any new applications deployed to the client. Viewfinity suggests that by separating the applications from the host operating system, its solution can eliminate both the clutter associated with disparate applications and the problems arising from incompatible applications on the same machine.

RoweBots Research Inc. has released Unison Operating System Version 5. The new solution shrinks intelligent network servers and services into small and powerful micro-controllers. According to the company's press release, on PR Newswire, The Unison Operating System offers an ultra tiny embedded POSIX environment for 32 bit micro-controller (MCU) based development that is also Linux compatible.


"Unison supports lean product development and extends the range of processors that can run POSIX from powerful MCUs with external memory to small system on chip (SOC) MCUs. For the first time, users can develop all embedded products on common POSIX application programming interfaces (APIs) . This common POSIX API reduces training, eliminates rework, and facilitates software component reuse, directly reducing development time, costs and risk.

"As MPUs shrink, all of these functions and an application can run in a few cubic millimeters in a SoC. You can put intelligent devices anywhere – in your home appliances and networks, in your clothes and jewelry, in your clean tech lighting, HVAC and power generation systems, in your car or inside your factory. Where we place intelligent devices is only limited by people's imagination."
