About NAON.TECH

History of origins: Initially, the founding of Naon.tech and KreuzweisOG was initiated by years of collaboration between two companies based in Jenbach / Austria, Computerschmiede Jenbach e.U. and Streamverse.tv. One day during one of the many collaborations, due to the need to provide small, quiet systems to their customers, the idea of a 2-unit server chassis that can fit in any standard network cabinet (not server cabinet) was born. In complete self-direction a computer case could be designed, which, after several revisions and countless tests, could finally go into production.

The founders, different background but same values & needs

  Computerschmiede Jenbach e.U,
is a computer shop who among other things builds custom Systems and Servers for their clients or small to medium sized businesses.
Streamverse.tv,
provides live video productions as a service and plans and builds systems to be used as video mixers for their clients and their livestreaming needs.
Why small? Many of my customers are small to medium sized businesses that, due to their size, already need server hardware for e.g., customer data, but simply don't have the space for a full server rack. In live video productions, it is usually the case that the entire equipment (from camera, lighting, audio, cables) must be repeatedly reassembled or reconfigured within a very short time from production to production. So, the smaller and lighter the equipment is, the less it must be lugged around. It's the same with the PCs, which take over the task of the video mixer.
Why quiet? These customers also usually work in an office that has the hardware in the same room. A server with countless decibels is therefore not an option. It is often necessary to install the video mixer in rooms or buildings where highly sensitive microphones are used for perfect audio recording. A system that screams out of all the pipes cannot be used here.
Why stylish? Of course, a server case with an old-fashioned design could have been produced, but if a new case is to be produced, then it should also have that certain aesthetic edge, if you know what I mean. If you look at video mixers that are commonly available, it's always the same black/beige boring device that doesn't really motivate you to turn it on. We just wanted to change that.
Why robust? We also do the complete network for some customers, and from renewals or upgrades, you just see how sometimes PC and server hardware is handled over the years. Therefore robust. Because if the case is robust, the hardware inside is also protected. Due to the small size, it is possible to take the device as a checked bag on the plane, for example. Since you never know how these cases will be handled, robustness is simply a basic need. Additionally, as previously described, set up and tear down is constantly going on during productions. Therefore, the PC hardware should not notice any bumping or falling over.
