I don’t think anything like this exists at present, although it has been tried, and failed, in the past.

I’m not sure how this will evolve though. I expect someone will start making “CobiaBeam” devices you can just slot into your network and use GUIs to switch on various virtual devices, using smaller hardware devices at gateways, near to data, etc…

In fact Jon, we should do this ourselves. What are you doing for the next 10 years?
