  NCUBE - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
nCUBE was founded in 1983 in Beaverton, Oregon by a group of Intel employees frustrated by Intel's reluctance to enter the parallel computing market (Intel finally entered the market in 1989).
In 1999, nCUBE announced it was acquiring a seven year old Louisville, Colorado software company SkyConnect, Inc., developers of digital advertising and VOD software for cable television and partner in their Burj Al-Arab hotel deployment.
As fallout from the dot-com bubble bursting, the recession, and the lawsuit, in April 2001 nCUBE laid-off 17% of its work force and began closing offices (Foster City in 2002 and Louisville in 2003) to downsize and consolidate the company around the Beaverton manufacturing office.

 nCUBE unveils networks-based PVR platform
The nCUBE nPVR solution uses the unparalleled scalability of the company's n4 streaming media appliance to enable cable operators to store a week's work of programming for up to 200 digital channels, giving cable subscribers full VCR control over their cable programming.
Network PVR is "server-side", with encoders and disk drives stored at the network headend, creating no need for consumers to purchase expensive in-home devices or tangle with complicated installation processes in order to have the ability to pause, rewind, fast forward programming or call up shows from earlier in the week.
nCUBE provides the only system that can scale to the storage and stream input requirements of network-based PVR, whereas other systems cannot economically store thousands of hours of programming nor can they ingest the dozens of simultaneous streams needed to offer a full PVR service.
