Making the PC a PDC - Personal Data Center

1. Making the PC a PDC – Personal
Data Center and the promise of
IOT, Edge AI and Edge Computing
a practical reality for all
Making the PC a PDC
Website: https://mobil-flex.com Founders: Mihai Buta

2. No existing platform is powerful enough for
Edge Computing, Edge AI, IOT, yet affordable
to consumers, families, small businesses, etc.
1. Lack of infrastructure and interoperability
on the last 30 yards;
• Must have LOT - LAN of Things
2. Lack of sufficient and affordable resources
at the edge (compute memory, storage);
• No Stage 3 & 4 local processing;
• Alexa & Edge AI is still “cloud dependent”;
• TinyML Devices are not smarter than a mouse or a cat;
Making the PC a PDC
The Problem
State of the Edge
The Compute Gap
Overloaded Edge
Flat and inefficient
x86 architecture

3. Huge “enterprise” without 1st level Managers
Making the PC a PDC
State of Edge - IOT
There are 630+ IOT
platforms and none of
them provides Stage 3 &
4 local processing
Before we can have an IOT we
have to have an LOT – LAN of
Things that completes the
infrastructure on last 30 yards
• Unifies all sub-networks and
“things” in and around the house
and allows multiple M2M direct
interoperability between any
connected devices

4. LOT - LAN of Things Accelerators and Chipsets
1. Complete the infrastructure on the last thirty yards – LAN of Things;
2. 3x+ the x86 architecture processing capability, without any cost increase;
3. Provide local resources to support IOT Stage 3&4 local processing, make
Edge AI cloud independent, make TinyML devices and BYOD smarter;
Enable systems integrators to build the PDC – Personal
Data Center – the most practical solution for the edge
Our Solution – Improved x86 Architecture
LOT - LAN of Things
Accelerators & Chipsets A new product
category is needed
for the edge - HPE
Scaled-Up x86
PDC
Personal Data Center
Making the PC a PDC

5. Make currently flat and inefficient x86 architecture a vertically
layered architecture with high degree of concurrency, flexibility
and scalability, like mainframes (with proprietary improvements)
• Unifies all sub-networks and “things” into an LOT – LAN of Things;
• Eliminate all I/O limitations and bottlenecks – Up to 16 concurrent M2M I/O;
• Eliminate CPU compute power waste – 80%++ more compute power;
• 3x+ over processing power at the same cost (valid for 4-cores systems);
• Personal Cloud, Accessible from any BYOD, Improved security, etc. etc.

Making the PC a PDC
Several realistic paths
to unicorn status

deck
The next 5 slides are supplementary slides
specific to ventureLAB’s HCI Program

15. Why now
MobilFlex idea was first
presented to Intel, HP and
3COM in 2007
• It received high technical marks,
but it was way ahead of its time,
market was not ready, technology
was not ready
• Today, technology is ready and
the market (desperately) needs it
• 800+ CTO’s and 200+ software
companies expressed their
interest in Personal Data Center
Making the PC a PDC
The end of The Moore’s Law exposed the x86
architecture “birth defect” which it covered up for
since its introduction 40 years ago
• X86 is wasting more than half of its (very expensive these days)
computing power, processing I/O and other system “chores”;
• HP Lab experts demonstrated it 15 years ago;
Intel & Co. have no incentives and no intentions to make
x86 architecture more efficient, as demonstrated by
massive investments in “alternative solutions”
• Intel bought Altera & eAsic for $17B+, AMD bought Xilinx for $35B,
Nvidia bought ARM for $34B, Risc-V, etc.

16. MobilFlex™ Promise To PC OEMs:
Converting the PC’s you already sell to PDC architecture
will allow you to get out of “The PC Value Trap”:
1. Make same 20% profit margin as Apple makes selling
Macs that can translate into Billions in additional
profits (not sales);
2. Provide solutions meaningfully differentiated from the
competitions;
3. Establish a long term relationship with customers that
extends after initial sale
Up to 20x
more profits
than selling PC’s

17. MobilFlex™ Promise To Developers:
You can now
develop and
deploy the
dream Edge
applications
PDC is the miniature data center, under your desk, for all “IT
needs” of families and small businesses
• Sufficient local intelligence & compute power for analytics
• Cloud independent Edge AI with sufficient local resources
• Up To 16 concurrent I/O transactions between any
connected devices, regardless of their native protocol
• Accessible from anywhere, from any BYOD
• “Personal Cloud”, “Residential Gateway”, “Home Server”
• Connected lifestyle: “Personal analytics”, “Enhanced
Togetherness”, “Assisted Productivity”, etc.

18. MobilFlex™ Promise To End Users:
PDC brings
the benefits
of data
centers to
masses
• All your “stuff” in one place, with instant access, by everyone,
anytime, from anywhere, from any BYOD;
• Work on your PDC from the comfort of your couch;
• Talk to your PDC, no need to type;
• Up to four HD video streams, unlimited audio, Web browsing, PC
applications - all in the same time;
• Personal Cloud - your stuff, your way, no subscription.
• No more remotes, use your smart phone instead
• No more passwords, use your biometrics instead
• No more wires, everything is either wireless or integrated
• No IT Manager needed but ITaaS will be available
For the same price as a Mac (~$1,500) you will get a vastly
superior machine, filled with tons of cool and exciting new
features, applications and user experiences

19. MobilFlex™ Promise To Investors:
MobilFlex
will the next
Sun Micro in
3-5 years
MobilFlex provides practical answers and solutions to
fundamental inhibitors of the proliferation and mass adoption
of IOT, AI, Edge Computing
MobilFlex is safer investment than any construction project
• All financials are conservative extrapolations of Broadcom
and Nvidia public reports
• Built-in risk mitigation & elimination provisions, using the
principles of QRPD – Quality Rapid Product Development
• Where others “burned” tens of Millions, we will become
profitable with $1M only
• Minimized in-house expertise, maximized 3rd party services
• Reduced innovation to core expertise, extensive use on Ips
• Smart go-to-market strategy by leveraging our customers
already in place sales and marketing organizations
• Substantial buil-in “carrots” for users to adopt PDC

20. PC Value Trap & Why Customers will buy
Apple makes (from its 7% PC market share) more profits than HP,
Dell, Lenovo, Asus and Acer combined (with over 60% market share)
MobilFlex offers Windows PC-OEMs to make
same 20% profit margin ($300 vs $15) as Apple
Facts - Profit margins
Windows PC OEMs (<$15/unit) 2.73%
Wal-Mart (selling groceries) 3.12%
Apple (selling Mac PC) 20%
Intel (down from 65+%) 56%
NVidia, Broadcom (our models) 20%
Industry Standard 20%

21. New user experiences
Interoperability, Mobility and Flexibility
Work from anywhere like you
were in front of the monitor
Use any TV, walls or any other
surface as display
Control electronic appliances
by pointing at them
No more passwords
• use your biometrics
No keyboard needed
• just talk to it

22. New user experiences
Interoperability, Mobility and Flexibility
Work from anywhere like you
were in front of the monitor
Use any TV, walls or any other
surface as display
Control electronic appliances

No more passwords
• use your biometrics
No keyboard needed
• just talk to it

23. The Compute Gap
The Moore’s Law is not working anymore, while the data
generation continues to explode.
This creates a growing “compute gap” leaving up to 90% of
data generated unprocessed
Intel spent $16B+ and AMD $34B to patch it with “hardware accelerators”, we ask for
$1M to eliminate the x86 architecture “birth defect” and 3x+ its processing capability

24. Smart Home is the most most popular IOT application
Based on Google search, Twitter chat, LinkedIn writings

25. The Top 10 IoT Segments in 2018
Based on 1,600 real IoT projects
Zero projects on Smart Home – Why?

26. The true value of IOT comes from interoperability
(even if some may have a strange view of what it means)

27. No IT Manager needed
But ITaaS will be available

28. “LAN of Things”
Simple, ingenious, practical and economical solution to
multiple fundamental problems and market pain points
Result of 40+ years of experience in I/O systems
Whatever your dream
is, “LAN of Things”
makes it possible
Whatever your problem is
LAN of Things

29. Our “Secret Sauce”
Our (proven) ability to make a “drivable
Bugatti” from a pile of “Lego pieces”
And yes, we do have some patents and many more will come
