While many software companies strive to produce the most flexible and scalable products, Cambridge-based VenturCom Inc. has made a name for itself by sticking with what works.
Bucking the current trend of promising functionality across multiple operating systems, VenturCom has hitched its star to the most powerful player in the software game, Microsoft.
VenturCom's business is rooted in the controlling and maintenance of geographically displaced networked systerns. Earlier this month, VenturCom unveiled Boot-NIC, software that enables centralized booting and maintenance of networked diskless equipment, such as automated teller machines and PCs running on Microsoft operating systems.
Boot-NIC provides manufacturers of Windows-based connected equipment with virtual hard drive functionality hosted on a centralized local area network (LAN) server running Windows 2000 or Windows NT 4.0.
Roy Kok, a vice president at VenturCom, said the company has remained dedicated solely to Microsoft operating systems instead of branching out into others, such as the open source Linux operating system.
