In a nutshell, its flagship product “Mirage” enables companies to manage, support and protect their computers on the cloud, while providing full offline support and significantly cutting corporate IT costs.

The layering is one of our secret sauces,” said Barry Phillips, Wanova chief marketing officer and vice president of sales, in an interview. “Because we let the user take advantage of all of the local computing horsepower, you don’t get a user revolt.”

Wanova was founded by Dr Issy Ben-Shaul (CTO) and Ilan Kessler. is based in San Jose, CA and has offices in Netanya, Israel. Together with Israeli startup Gizmox (renamed Visual Web GUi), Wanova is considered a ‘hot’ cloud company coming out of Israel.
