Symbio Technologies Wonders if 'What’s in a Name' was About Stateless Computing

NEW ROCHELLE, NY, – Information technology and classic Shakespeare don't usually go together, but the co-founders of Symbio Technologies (symbio-technologies.com), an award-winning innovator in "green" stateless computing, can't help but wonder if the Bard was trying to describe the 21st century evolution in IT when he asked, "What's in a name?" more than 400 years ago.

"Romeo and Juliet aside," said Roger Del Russo, the company's COO, "I think Shakespeare might be the 'original Bill' to talk about IT."

"You may be right," said CEO and co-founder Gideon Romm. "Might have been back in Stratford-upon-Avon and not Redmond-upon-Seattle where the 'gates' opened for real innovation today!"

Symbio has created an entirely stateless and ultra-secure thin client technology, certified and accredited for use in the U.S. Department of Energy’s classified networks. Its Symbiont Certified thin clients contain no non-volatile memory, no operating systems, no applications, no file systems, no network addresses and no moving parts, do not require management, use up to 95% less electricity than PCs, and work with all servers. Symbio's solution also includes the Symbiont Boot Appliance, which boots up to 250 desktop units at a time, directing them to the appropriate application server, and the new Symbiont Boot Stick, a USB pen drive that boots any USB-bootable device, even outdated PCs and laptops.

But what to call the overall technology Symbio offers? Is it Cloud Computing, Network Computing, Server-Centric Computing, Centralized Computing, Thin OS Computing, Utility Computing, or even Ubiquitous Computing? And are the desktop devices in this green and secure technology to be known as Thin Clients, Ultra Thin Clients, Diskless Thin Clients, Network Terminals, Diskless Network Terminals, Zero Clients, Nodes, Diskless Nodes, Stateless Nodes, or even Laptops?

Symbio's Del Russo and Romm "feel the frustration of so many names, such confusion, when really what we have done is simplify and secure the entire enterprise computing process."

Perhaps they should heed the great American composer George M. Cohan – who lived not far from their offices in New Rochelle -- who said, "I don't care what you say about me, as long as you say something about me, and as long as you spell my name right."

But then again, what's in a name?
