An innovative cloud computing concept was born, almost a decade before its time, in the mind of Sam Medic, founder of Skygrid Solutions Inc.
The shift from crowded office towers with local network server rooms, hundreds of computers that required continual updates and upgrades, and a costly IT department to working at home with a virtual office is one of the business world’s most challenging evolutions to manage. IT has been such a big part of our survival over the past two years, as the world has gone through accelerated changes in how work is done.
This accelerated evolution of our working world has brought about the ideal time for Skygrid Solutions technology to be recognized as the innovative solution it is.
In 2020, Skygrid Solutions Inc. received the Best Emerging Cloud Computing Startup AWARD from New World Report by U.S. Business News.
The first Skygrid Solutions cloud-only work streaming station was produced in 2019. It was then exhibited in North America’s fastest growing tech conference, Toronto Collision Tradeshow. The attention received at the show created momentum that led to participating in the BEST York Incubator at York University.
In 2020, a series of beta users and three corporate clients established the proof of concept for the innovative cloud computing technology.
Skygrid Solutions Inc. is now doing round one fundraising backed by two accelerators, Batchery in the U.S. and DMZ in Canada. The funds will ramp up the manufacturing of hundreds of model 24 and model 27 desktop work streaming stations to meet market demand.
This innovative startup is gaining international interest from companies that need to transition their workforce to work streaming from home and backyard offices. By using this award-winning, cloud-only hardware and work streaming service, clients are able to speed up the deployment of users, hardware, and software from days to minutes without the need for special technical knowledge.
A Skygrid workstation can be shipped directly to an end user at their home and they can set it up themselves in a matter of a few minutes. All they need is a high speed internet connection to link to the Skygrid Hub, which is plugged into a power outlet. The workstation snaps together in one simple click and the single power cable is plugged into a normal power outlet, allowing the end-to-end encrypted data to flow to and from the workstation and hub at an incredible speed.
Turning on a Skygrid workstation is as fast as turning on a smart TV. It immediately displays a login on the screen, which connects the user to their Windows operating system that lives in the cloud on one of the Skygrid data centres strategically located around the world. Every click and bit of data from content, software, and the operating system is streamed to the workstation. Nothing is stored on the local hardware and the government-level security is managed from the Skygrid data centres. The unrivaled speed, limitless computing power, massive cloud storage, and system security available through the Skygrid Solutions turnkey service blows away any existing cloud hardware and services in the market today.
