Cameras – action, sports, and drones

Out on an adventure? Extreme photographers don’t want to miss a moment. Tuxera’s software is optimized to achieve maximum performance from the storage, helping to ensure that every millisecond is captured. High-quality recording devices have write-heavy workloads, and flash devices have a limited number of write cycles. Our proprietary methods to fight write amplification in flash storage increase the endurance of the media, while maintaining stable recording performance over time. For your users, this means that their storage devices will not burn out under heavy use, which means cost savings for them and increased satisfaction with your brand. As board members of the SD Association, we play a key role in developing the standards and specifications of SD cards. And as the developers of SDA’s official SD Card Formatter, rest assured we have a deep understanding of the relationship between storage software and the latest SD card standards.

Domestic robots

Used for domestic chores, education, entertainment or therapy, domestic robots support multiple uses: they can act as a camera or audio player, or monitor their surroundings through different sensors to act accordingly. To play and record media files, the home robot may need to support external media storage such as SD cards or USB drives. Tuxera’s GravityCS file systems ensure reliable and fast universal access to external media, performance-tuned to the hardware and applications at work to provide a premium user experience. When no external storage is needed, Tuxera’s Reliance family of file systems are fail-safe – ideal for the data-critical needs of intensive sensor data read/write operations and data processing to support machine learning processes. And FlashFX Tera is the go-to choice for raw, unmanaged flash.

Smart wearable technologies and activity trackers

Consumer wearables are small IoT devices typically used for fitness, wellbeing, payments, or secure access controls. These devices often need to support plenty of features in a small package. Smart sensors and internet connectivity are needed to transmit, log, or analyze data. The small size of wearables places many constraints on resources, making power and memory consumption paramount. Reliability and robust design are also critical factors, because the environment they operate in is always changing (such as extreme temperature differences).

When designing a consumer wearable device, the data management software used should not be overlooked, especially when user satisfaction and data security is at stake. Tuxera has file systems and embedded data management software with reduced CPU use and memory footprint. Our solutions are also high-performance and reliable, overcoming power interruptions and keeping data safe in the harshest environments and changing conditions. Rely on us for managing your wearable device data management needs. With our storage management expertise, we help you achieve fast time-to-market. We take care of the data management, while you can focus on creating meaningful user experiences for your customers.

Virtual and Augmented Reality (VR/AR) devices

Virtual reality can be integrated into a wide range of applications: home entertainment, gaming, education, healthcare, industrial prototyping – the list goes on! This list that is as wide as the imagination is driving increasing market adoption of VR headsets. The features vary from device to device, but some come with an SD card slot, while others rely heavily on embedded memory. Tuxera’s GravityCS file systems ensure reliable and fast universal access to external media, performance-tuned to the hardware and applications at work to provide a premium user experience. When no external storage is needed, Tuxera’s Reliance family of file systems are fail-safe – ideal for the intensive read-write operations and data processing to support VR and AR use cases. And FlashFX Tera is the go-to choice for raw, unmanaged flash. No matter your VR or AR storage needs, Tuxera has a storage solution for the future of entertainment.
