About GoPC.net

GoPC was one of the pioneers of hosted virtual desktops and cloud computing. Launched in 2005 the company established a San Francisco office in Dec 2007 and became recognised as one of the leading cloud startups in Silicon Valley by Silicom Ventures 2009 Investor Summit at Stanford University. In 2013 the company released a ground breaking new innovation codenamed "Rainmaker". The platform is disruptive and game-changing in how it hosts virtual machines (Microsoft, Linux or Android). The business model monetizes Linux/Open Source software with profit margins of 90%. Rainmaker's value proposition can be understood by example. In well run organisations the largest cost of IT is not purchase price but TCO (Total Cost of Ownership), typically 3-5x the purchase cost. Commercial and government organisations report very large TCO savings from changing of Microsoft onto Linux/Open Source software. The French Gendarmerie (Police) finished migrating 90,000x workstations and City of Munich 14,000x workstations to Linux/Open Source with each reporting a 40% reduction in TCO. The remaining 60% of TCO comprise mostly labour costs associated with upgrades, maintenance, technical support and rollouts. GoPC hosts the same Linux/Open Source software that delivers the 40% TCO savings. Rainmaker's specific IP eliminates most of the remaining 60% of TCO by deploying future-proof, perpetual upgrading desktops and servers in seconds onto any screen or mobile device. GLOBAL OPPORTUNITY GoPC is a horizontal market play supporting many vertical niches. There is enormous potential in European, American and Asian markets where the economies are biting hard and businesses are driving to lower costs. Education and Consumer markets where devices like Google's Chrome Book (a $350 browser + keyboard) or the Raspberry Pi (a $35 computer) enables GoPC to deliver a full PC workstation to every user.
