Point Clark Networks / ClarkConnect History
Point Clark Networks started as a concept on the back of a napkin on the campus of Carnegie Mellon University. In May 2000, the company moved from concept to reality and started developing solutions for the broadband server/gateway market. The core team was formed with engineering and technologists from Queen's University.
The first version of ClarkConnect Service Delivery Network (now know as ClearSDN) was launched to the public in November 2000. This initial release included a basic software update service along with a dynamic DNS service. Today, ClearSDN includes dozens of unique services to help its partners, consumers and businesses get the most out of their network, gateway & server technology.
Point Clark Networks Limited (PCNL) believed that broadband means more than just a fast connection. Broadband is sparking the growth of new and innovative services that can take advantage of an always-on Internet. To help organizations build these services, PCNL developed the ClarkConnect Linux distribution software in conjunction with the Service Delivery Network (SDN) -- infrastructure for building and delivering services to Internet devices. The Gateway Services that supports ClarkConnect is a direct application of the SDN technology.
