Tuxera Open Source Team

• Wireless interoperability and remote management

There’s currently a lot of approaches for wireless streaming inside the home. There’s DLNA, there’s Airplay, there’s WiDi and there’s a host of proprietary company specific approaches. Some companies presented simple solutions just to get old devices into the connected world. A good example is Skifta from Qualcomm Atheros, basically a small wifi box with audio out. You control the thing with a mobile app.

• Android is the innovation platform

Android is everywhere and getting better every year as we go. At least I came to the conclusion the latest Android 4 phones on display have passed Apple in both form factor and specs. Android is clearly the leading innovation platform, the one where all the cool hardware and system software innovation takes place first. Both Apple and Microsoft are seriously trailing in that regard. Still, despite Google’s “Smart Home” talk where Android runs also inside your refrigerator it is still too early to say Google would end up being the interface in all devices in the future. What has been demoed on Android will work on other Linux based systems as well.

We started the second day with a PR with NETGEAR. Following the previous day’s announcement with Marvell, we wanted to highlight the impact of our work in high performance storage to actual devices on the market:

With the help of Tuxera, NETGEAR’s ReadyNAS Duo v2 and NV+ v2 products feature significantly faster back-up times and seamless user experience with portable storages.

While both Marvell and NETGEAR are key partners for us in the storage segment, Tuxera keeps on working with all the leading chipsets and their different platforms.

Another market we have been investing a lot at Tuxera is automotive infotainment. It is also clearly a growing area for CES. In the first day Daimler CEO Dieter Zetsche gave one of the keynotes with the following observation of what’s going on:

Here at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas there are some people who view the automobile as an accessory to consumer electronics. Conversely, at the auto show in Detroit there are many people who view consumer electronics as mere trimmings for the car. Both points of view miss the point: as much as a smartphone can be far more than just a tool for communication, a smart car can be more than just a means of transportation. Precisely at the interfaces between communication and mobility, vast potential for innovation lies dormant, and we intend to tap it.

It looks like every second car will have a tablet-like dashboard in the near future — a sort of placeholder for your digital identity. NVIDIA had the top design wins on show like the Lambo pictured above…

Dramatically Increases Private Cloud Write Speed

Sunnyvale, CALIFORNIA <January 11, 2012>. Tuxera, the leading provider of interoperable file systems for Android, Linux, Mac and other platforms, today announced NETGEAR® has selected Tuxera’s file system technology to power its Marvell-based ReadyNAS® family of network attached storage (NAS) devices for the Small- to Medium-sized Business (SMB) market. Tuxera’s market leading file system technology increases NAS write speeds without compromising interoperability, functionality and scalability.

“We selected Tuxera because their file system technology allows us to achieve significantly faster results than before acceleration.” notes Matt Pahnke, Sr Product Marketing Manager at NETGEAR. “With the help of Tuxera, NETGEAR’s ReadyNAS Duo v2 and NV+ v2 products feature significantly faster back-up times and seamless user experience with portable storages.”

A typical NAS system runs off-the-shelf Linux software stack with standard open source file systems. As the well-recognized open source file system leader, Tuxera has partnered with NAS chipset manufacturers to integrate and optimize its proprietary and enhanced commercial file system technology into the devices. Tuxera’s comprehensive NAS offering for OEMs includes high-performance, chipset-optimized Tuxera XFS for the main storage and Tuxera NTFS and HFS+ file systems for external, portable storages.

“Tuxera’s mission is to serve advanced storage system manufacturers on the path to private clouds by making the world’s network storage centerpieces more responsive, scalable and portable.” noted Mikko Välimäki, Tuxera CEO. “NETGEAR is among the first whom we are proudly shipping the latest file system technology to ramp up the device performance multiple times over the previous generation.”

Annual CES kicked off today. We started the day by getting out a great PR with Marvell. The story is about scalable storage and top performance:

At 129 megabytes per second, Marvell and Tuxera’s NAS solution offers the fastest 2 GHz NAS performance on the market.

Coming to CES is all about meeting with customer and partners. It is always great to see partners thrive. One company I’m very happy we’re doing close cooperation with is Rockchip. They also had a bold announcement:

More than 80 percent of the Chinese tablet market is currently supported by Rockchip – a percentage that would make them a virtual behemoth in North America, clearly entrenching the company as the market leader in that country while laying the foundation for expansion into Europe and North America.

SD Association has its member goodies on show. Nice booth, and a lot of cool technology. Toshiba had the previously demoed FlashAir on show and there was also a related PR from SDA on combining SD memory and wifi chip in the same physical card:

This standard is applicable to full size SD/SDHC/SDXC and microSD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards. It taps into a billions-strong SD standards market for which manufacturers can develop products and consumers can reliably use Wireless LAN applications.

For this vision to become mainstream there is a lot of work to be done in the software side. Something we at Tuxera are working on.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. <January 10, 2012> Marvell (Nasdaq: MRVL), a worldwide leader in integrated silicon solutions, and Tuxera Inc., the leading provider of Windows and Mac compatible file systems for Android, Linux and other platforms, today announced the industry’s fastest full-featured NAS solution.

Apple® today announced that in just one day, over one million users bought and downloaded Mac OS® X Lion, the eighth major release of the world’s most advanced operating system… users are buying Lion faster than any other OS release in Apple’s history.

Now that’s just huge!

While the popularity of Mac is skyrocketing to new records, we’re also seeing more and more people using multiple operating systems and not just one. Windows is not disappearing any time soon and remains the number one choice in many homes and workplaces alike. This means that Macs also need full, rock solid Windows interoperability. Many of those new to Mac bring with them Microsoft Windows formatted hard drives and may continue to use Windows still on the side. And the chances are high that as a Mac user you will need to exchange large amounts of data with friends and colleagues who stay on Windows.

This is where Tuxera NTFS for Mac comes to help. With complete support to OS X Lion, Tuxera NTFS for Mac adds full read and write compatibility with all Windows-formatted drives.

We are very proud to have been flooded by positive feedback on how Tuxera NTFS for Mac is working now smoothly on Mac OS X Lion. Thank you to every one of you!

For those of you who haven’t yet upgraded your system, we urge you to download and install the latest stable version 2011.4.1 which was released already on June 20th.

Last but not least I’d like to remind that once you buy a Tuxera NTFS for Mac license you will get future releases free of charge.
