Dynamic Split Browsing
Taken from Video on Website
Client vs. Server
• Fundamentally different
browser based upon the web,
faster connectivity, etc.
• Old browsers NOT efficient,
especially across different
devices: IPod, IPad, IPhone,
Android, PC, etc.
• Cloud: Massive storage and
incredibly fast multiprocessor systems
All browsing on “Fat” Client

Dynamic Split Browsing
Client vs. Server
 Some or All functions on
Both the device and the
Cloud.
 AMAZON’s Cloud is
called EC2
Dynamic Split Browsing
Client vs. Server
 Put compute intensive apps
on the cloud.
 Even include “smart”
formatting, so that
“optimal” look can be sent,
depending upon the device

EC2  The Cloud: Persistent Highspeed Connectivity
• Cloud Reliability
• 1000+ ms response time in
a typical multiple site
query
• Trip across the last mile is
timely
• If browser is “living in the
cloud,” then it can make
many requests on the cloud
in under 5 ms
Persistent Cloud (EC2)
Large Memory in Cloud
• Photos
• Videos
• Books
• Large documents
• JAVA Scripts
• A thread of silk is an invisible,
yet incredibly strong fiber
between “thin Client” and the
EC2
• VERY Fat Pipes!!
Storage Repository on
Server

And It’s FAST!
Compare to Other E-Tablets
Testimonial: Fred Andrews, Group
Director, IT; Tiffany & Co.
“I've been showing it off to people in the office that have iPads
and I clean their clocks in regards to response requests from
the internet (and it works with Adobe Flash). And I got the
device for half the price which kills these iPad owners. I have
impressed everyone with this device.
“You’re right - this is moving technology forward ...”
Thanks,
 Fred

According to Grove’s Law, starting in 2010,
Computing Bandwidth Will be Growing Exponentially
Even Faster than Processor Speeds
