About Berens Industries Inc.

Through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Artmovement and BEII.Net, Berens Industries is pioneering the development of streaming application servers that are deployable as rent-based solutions hosted and co-marketed by leaders in the Application Service Provider (ASP) industry (e.g,. Navisite and Interliant). Our product lines provide bundled packages of managed servers, global connectivity, scaleable bandwidth, applications and transactional systems-everything required of e-commerce. These streaming application servers provide ``tenant'' licensing for businesses and ``landlord'' licensing for Web developers and ASP hosts. Our ongoing research and development is being conducted in collaboration with leading ASPs and software developers to deliver streaming application servers that bind relational databases and transactional systems with interactive streaming media.
