Corporate use
Poor data access is common for companies where multi-vendor computer networks with different operating systems and storage media are used. Basically, it is accounted for a diversity of existing file systems that are not necessarily supported on employees' computers. Inability to read files stored on a medium, such as USB flash drive, that has a file system not identified by OS of a computer serves as a good example of data access lack. Furthermore, this problem deepens if using virtual machines along with real computers. In fact, without virtualization software installed on a computer it is impossible to read files on a virtual drive. Besides, virtual machine launch and configuration are musts if one wants to access necessary files on a virtual drive.
We offer a universal solution to this problem: UFS Explorer software allows reading any data stored on different external storage as well as virtual drives. Our software is designed to settle question on poor data access and reduce any costs including time resources required to work with data.
Apart from poor data access there is one more task that can be undertaken by UFS Explorer.
Data loss is one of the most burning issues within the business information environment today. Among the most likely causes of data loss are accidental human errors, failures in hardware components and software malfunction. In the majority of cases it is impossible to repeat inputing data into a computer. And if possible it may cost too much time and money. The only way out is data recovery. A good data recovery center can not render this service unless there is enough time to wait. When you faces an urgent need to retrieve the mission-critical information and each hour matters you should fix upon specialized data recovery software.
We have worked out a range of solutions for workstations, servers, virtual machines, SAN devices that are widely applied in business sector. The variety of UFS Explorer software products will help you to choose the best option for data access and recovery goals.
- Data access and recovery solutions for workstations
A personal computer or workstation is one of the key elements of a workplace environment for an employee. Its significance is accounted predominantly for a necessity of work with large amounts of data. Since workstations provide employees with all the programs required to settle daily questions connected with data handling they are well suited for effective work with database, documents and presentations. Besides, by means of workstations employees can cooperate with each other via local network, exchange information with clients, etc.
The importance of a fast and regular data can not be denied by staff. Moreover, employees realize that data access lack can affect efficiency of routine tasks performance. For example, it is a common situation when one needs to read a file on some portable storage medium, such as CD or USB flash drive, but the access to it appears unavailable. The problem is that OS installed on the workstation can not manage identification of a storage medium file system. In this event with the help of UFS Explorer one can gain prompt access to required data on different storage media.
- Data access and recovery solutions for servers
Nowadays building a local area network through integration of office computers is one the most important technical task for practically all up-do-date companies. It is mainly due to the fact that a united corporate computer system helps employees to work as a single team pursuing a growth in company's profits. A widespread client-server technology is likely to ensure this coordinated cooperation of employees within the computer network. This technology model includes one or a number of powerful computers (servers) which are used by all staff members for data storage and processing goals. Implementation of the technology allows to reduce data loss due to centralized information storage and finally enables a bigger number of employees to work in the network simultaneously.
- Data access and recovery solutions for virtual machines
A considerable enlargement of computer technologies application in the business fields gave rise to large corporate IT-infrastructures which are often complicated in management. For a big number of elements included in such systems financial investment in server networks building was a strong necessity. Furthermore, server networks led to commissioning of abundant computer networks.
For that reason, information management was to be changed. An idea of virtualization emerged in a response to this challenge. The main idea of it was to build up few abstract information management layers able to work with their own logical means within the framework of a single machine. As a result, the combination of networks virtualization along with virtualization of data storage systems and computing resources gave birth to a new software category - virtual infrastructure.
- Data access and recovery solutions for Storage Area Networks (SAN)
The problem of a dramatic growth in business information is important today for any company. It is not always possible to embed as many hard drives into a server as it is required for essential data storage. Besides, such factors as low information handling speed, difficulty in back up operation as well as irregular data streams management affect routine efficiency of any company. For this reason many of the companies have faced a necessity to implement high-speed data storage area networks or SAN. Consisting of a collection of software and hardware SAN is generally used to connect one or few servers to a storage medium. In fact, SAN is designed to handle transfers of vast emergency corporate data. Furthermore, SAN implementation allows precious data storage on specialized equipment that ensures the highest reliability in data arrays storage. In this respect SAN is evidently much more inferior to standard information infrastructure.
Personal use
Computer as well as digital technologies have shown a rapid evolution in their development over the recent decade. Well, indeed, technologies have a big influence on a person's daily life. By saving time and enabling contacts over long distances they contribute a lot to people's life around the world.
For example, a laptop computer is no longer a fashion accessory, but a must have for business and holidays, whereas a well-organized digital home has enabled multiple entertainment and art activities. Moreover, digital devices such as mobile phones and pocket PCs have become tiny helpers with speedy CPUs, lots of memory and broadband connection. As for tiny portable USB flash drives they have quickly replaced floppy disc drives and become most easy to use and space-saving among all existing storage media. As a result, technology has truly created a new digital lifestyle that gives millions of people across the globe a great deal of freedom and comfort.
Nevertheless, computer and digital technologies development has posed some disadvantages. The technologies development along with a tremendous growth of software have led to a highly competitive and often incompatible multivendor hardware&software market. As a result, the situation has generated mass storage conflict. A variety of storage file systems, operating systems running on a computer as well as virtualization software has caused a problem of hampered access. Most users have no doubts about importance of available access to information and knowledge. Hence, in a situation where access is unavailable they have to spend additional time on getting this information. And let's agree it is too valuable to lose for such an activity.
Using two operating systems on a computer can illustrate the problem very well. Presently a neighborhood of two different operating systems running on a single PC has become a common phenomenon. Modern advanced computer hardware and software not only allows to launch many different programs but also run few absolutely different operating systems. It is particularly beneficial for users who study, make experiments with software, create separate personal workspaces. However, in this case a user might face face the need to restart a computer so that a second operating system can be run to access files. Alternatively, this procedure can be avoided if using specialized software.
UFS Explorer is a users time-saving helper. It provides fast data access on a second operating system. Running on Windows UFS Explorer allows to copy files from any operating system to Windows. What is more, a prompt access on virtual machines, external hard disc drives, non-Windows formatted USB flash drives, NAS (Network Attached Storage) can be successfully gained with UFS Explorer as well.
Another side effects of a fast-moving progress in technologies and computer industry achievements are not always qualitative software and hardware solutions as well as great number of programs which do not require experience to work with. Today any computer user can feel freedom with this powerful, comfortable device that enables technical realization of numerous education and hobby tasks. Certainly it can not but affect information security in a certain way. Apparent simplicity of hardware and software disguises its hidden complexity. As a rule, most users do not have a clear idea of how software really works. Therefore, they are not aware of possible outcomes their incorrect operations can result in. In the end, abnormal work of an operating system as well as software failures including those caused by human errors often lead to precious data loss.
Hence, it is evident that an adequate dealing with such data storage devices as mobile phones, optical disks, flash-memory storage as well as computers is a key principle of their reliable work. There are many incidents where inadequate operations of users end up with data loss or deletion. Tedious gathering lost collection of musics, films or pictures from the very beginning can give a real headache. Alternatively, data recovery service in a lab takes a long time and costs a lot of money. A better option?

- Data access solutions for personal computers
Modern world software market offers a wide variety of different operating systems. However, many of them appear to be incompatible. Presently Windows-based operating systems undoubtedly bear the palm of supremacy. Following Windows, Mac OS and Linux claim to be second operating systems for a desktop computer in terms of popularity. Yet, both of them are incompatible with Windows and it is impossible therefore to read Linux or Mac OS files on Windows. As a result, a computer running Windows and Mac OS must be restarted if a user working on Windows needs to read Linux files.
To reduce time spent to access data you can not do without specialized software. With UFS Explorer running on Windows you can find formatted Mac OS or Linux files in a matter of seconds as well as copy the files to Windows.
- Data recovery solutions for personal computers
Although modern computer hardware is very reliable, in the event of computer failures users are likely to think that a problem lies in faulty equipment. As a matter of fact, 95% of such incidents generally account for operating system errors as well as software malfunction. As it turns out the more changes made to configuration of an operating system the less stable it works. Still one can not ignore this procedure while updating drivers or modifying system parameters and components. As a result, an operating system might be vulnerable to failures. A good case in point is unknown files deletion by users. These files as a rule are of crucial importance for runtime performance of OS and the deletion therefore results in operating system disability to run smoothly. Since backup usually is not practiced on personal computers, precious collection of documents, photos, films or songs might be inevitably lost.
Regarding software malfunction, typical problems here are those that can cause disc drive system logical corruption. These are primarily wrong installation of new software, disc management program failures - partitioning, logical drives creating, hard drive formatting, RAID-controller management program failures. Disc file system corruption in its turn can lead to partially or totally inaccessible information stored on a computer.
- Data access and recovery solutions for NAS and DAS devices
Network-attached storage devices or NAS are media with a multiple disc array, connected to a PC either via the network switch or directly to a computer. Taking into account a limited number of hard drives available in a computer as well as insufficiency of disc space NAS systems have become much in demand today. Their implementation allows to increase disc space by additional hardware units. They are particularly beneficial if users download or copy films, videos, music, games which occupy large amount of disc space. Besides, NAS disc system can be represented with different high-performance RAID arrays that increase data access speed as well as provide means for data protection against loss if one or two discs crash.
Although NAS devices are considered to be a quite reliable storage, poor access to information stored on these units occurs often enough to cause computer users troubles while working with data. As a rule, most NAS devices are formatted with specific file systems which are generally not identified by an operating system running on a computer. Hence, users cannot read files formatted with a such a system.
- Data access and recovery solutions for Windows mobile devices
Modern mobile devices strive to bring more comfort and convenience in people lives. As a result mobile phones, smartphones, mobile communicators, pocket PCs are getting more and more advanced providing users with a rich variety of new options and functions. Apart from the short message service or SMS, picture messages MMS, phone book storage, electronic organizer, numerous games and multiple applications mobile devices have been added with lots of new services that make them operate as mini laptops, with more or less all the essential features of a personal computer. In fact, users can utilize mobile devices for various purposes, for example, checking mails, creating documents, editing personal organizer or, alternatively, listening to music, capturing images, browsing the Internet. Since mobile devices require little space and are easy to use they have become user tiny electronic helpers in a daily life.
Presently, the latest phones have transformed themselves to powerful multitasking gadgets offering not only entertainment and communication services but storage of mission critical information as well. Being more space-saving than desktop computers and laptops mobile devices are often chosen by users as precious information storage media.
- Data access and recovery solutions for portable storage media
It's hard to find a person today who has not heard about USB flash drives, optical drives CD, DVD, floppy discs or external hard drives. The above mentioned devices are basically information storage media with different work principles and performance features. Besides, these small, portable storage devices are incredibly easy to use. Ability to store large amount of digital information, high speed, efficiency, excellent space-saving features along with simple installation and high usability are key advantages of portable information storage media.
Meanwhile, unavailable prompt access to data stored on such media can particularly cause users a trouble. The most likely reason of a problem is excessive number of existing storage formats on media that has resulted in their application sphere narrowing as well as difficult access. Besides, not always an operating system might identify a storage format with standard means. As a result, users might not have a possibility to read files on flash-drive or any other portable storage medium.
