How it works
Internet technologies and broadband connection speeds mean that the traditional PC model is no longer the only computing option. lightapp is a revolutionary service that allows its customers to save money and time, while delivering computing access from a range of devices, including 'thin client' devices, TVs, or even PCs that would otherwise have to be thrown away.
lightapp's new computing model
Essentially lightapp is what we call a hosted computing service - which means that all the computing processing power, software, security, virus protection and back-up are handled in lightapp's state-of-the-art data centres. This removes the majority of the pain that managing a PC includes, with lightapp you no longer have to worry about:
- back-ups
- software upgrades
- virus and spam protection
- content filtering for children
- security from hacking
- long set-up times
- downtime
- hardware upgrades
Personal computing, without needing a PC
We send your computing session down a broadband connection - you receive it on any of the following:
- TV through a set-top box
- lightapp hardware (download our technical specification)
Anytime, anywhere computing
Your data and personalised workspace (or desktop) are running centrally at our data centres, your unique login gets you access to it. Pick up your last session, exactly where you left off - secure in the knowledge that your work has been backed-up and is waiting for you.
