Virtual Client origins The objectives and methods of developing Virtual Client technology were set out in a SEEL research paper in 19991. This paper called attention to the many shortcomings of conventional browsers in the face of advancing operating systems and the emergence of stable server side ECMAScripting2. Then current browsers were too slow and constrained the 100:1 processing velocity gains achieved by server side scripting over client side scripting. Browsers were blind to a range of useful communications capabilities that could support more efficient client operations and, in particular, more effective use of client side applications. This paper pointed out that operating systems "version" constraints on the capabilities of browsers to interpret advancing state of the art content can be compensated, or even substituted, by server side investment, client side interface scripts and a standardization of HTML syntax supporting server side scripting. Navatec Voyager - World's First Virtual Client The first Virtual Client, the Navatec Voyager, was built by Navatec.Com3 using SEEL components in 2000. In 2005, Navatec Voyager was organised as a separate unit to evaluate, test and further develop the product under an agreement licensing the use of SEEL components, future upgrades and innovations. 1: McNeill, H.W., "Browsers, Virtual Client Technology & the the feasibility of powerful, stable data-intensive applications on the world wide web." SEEL, Portsmouth,July 1999. 2: In particular DScript the ECMAScript core extension developed by Rob Suggs (Vanguard Software Corp) compliant with the ECMA & ISO JavaScript standard. 3: Navatec.com has had the exclusive commecialization rights of all SEEL development spinoffs since its foundation in 2000 except for the Plasma Data Base phase 1 products. In the first Quarter 2011, Navatec.com gained the exclusive commercialization rights of all SEEL Plasma Data Base II developments, an advanced configuration for solid state memory devices (SSD). |
