OUR EXPERIENCE

File Systems

Our experience in implementing full file system architectures is among the best. We have implemented full file systems which offer functionality
such as:

  • Large format robotic library storage
  • Copy on Write semantics
  • Proprietary data protection
  • Multi-volume virtualization

Our work in large format robotic library storage arenas is extensive. The file system controlled large robotic tape and optical libraries able to handle millions of file nodes. The total storage capacity of some of the libraries exceeded several TB's, thus providing high scalability while offering reliability and fast access to files anywhere within the library.

The work on the C.O.W. file system was extensive and provided complete Copy on Write semantics without degrading performance. The file system was incorporated into a security solution which offered extreme protection from malicious attacks.

File System Filter Drivers

We have architected and implemented a wide range of file system filter drivers for all types of solutions including:

  • Anti-virus
  • Encryption
  • Access monitoring
  • Data re-direction
  • File virtualization

If you have a new approach to an existing architecture or want to discuss a proprietary solution, contact us. We have the experience and knowledge guide you or answer any questions you may have.

Class Driver Architectures

If you need a lower level implementation than that offered by the file system storage stack, we can give you access to block level devices. We have implemented class drivers for a wide range of storage devices including

  • Harddisk
  • Optical drives
  • Virtual disk devices
  • Tape devices

If all you need is to monitor or modify the block level data going to these devices, we offer a class filter driver. This filter sits above the class drivers and can perform functionality at the block level such as

  • Data re-direction
  • Block Encryption
  • Access Monitoring
  • Data scanning
  • Software RAID implementations

USB, 1394 & Bluetooth

If you have a specialized or standard USB or 1394 attached device, we can provide a driver that allows complete control and access. We have implemented USB and 1394 drivers for such devices as

  • Proprietary HID's
  • Specialized Audio Recording
  • Virtualized functionality such as USB to serial or parallel
  • Storage media devices
  • High performance camera devices
