G.ho.st provides an alternative computer platform

G.ho.st is a new company which has launched their web browser based G.ho.st virtual computer platform. The platform enables a user to get access to applications like word processors through a web browser.

Zvi Schreiber, CEO of G.ho.st added: “The idea of having the whole computing environment on the Web has been a great idea for a while, but the [applications] haven’t been there.”

He added: “The intention [of G.ho.st] is people are doing more and more of their work on the Web and less and less on the local [client].”

They have already launched the Alpha version of their service which is powered using the Amazon Web Services data centers. They aim to have their first final version release by summer this year.

Schreiber added about their offered services: “We give you a single file system to keep track of all the different files you’ve got online.”

They are currently offering the service free of cost and plan to generate revenues through affiliation with service providers like Amazon.com.
