Opera Unite Offers a Personalized Internet Cloud

June 17th, 2009

Opera on Tuesday unveiled a technology that aims to disrupt the client-server computing model of the Web. Dubbed Opera Unite, the technology turns any computer into both a client and a server so it can interact with and serve content to other computers directly across the Web. Unite eliminates the need for third-party servers.Opera CEO John von Tetzchner said Opera is opening up the full potential of the Web to everyone. PCs decentralized computing from large mainframes, he said, and Opera Unite is taking the next step by decentralizing the cloud .

“With server capability in the browser, Web developers can create Web applications with profound ease,” von Tetzchner said. “Consumers have the flexibility to choose private and efficient ways of sharing information. We believe Opera Unite is one of our most significant innovations yet, because it changes forever the fundamental fabric of the Web.”
