Energy industry Region USA / Europe Use case Smart meter data The challenge Data is used for operational purposes and should be preserved for at least 15 years. Data must be relied upon in case of power outages, and maintenance costs and risks must be minimized. How Tuxera helped Unmatched set of features for longevity, reliability, and ease of use • Minimal number of operations to preserve the flash • Predictable data integrity and fail-safe data storage: the system will always recover • Easy to use API for easy manipulation of the database records • Simulation tool for storage behavior modeling and debugging Tuxera solution Reliance Sense Leading energy management device manufacturer

Satellites, aerospace industry Region USA Use case Video data capture The challenge A 32-bit SPARC processor controls an array of 128 GB raw NAND-flash memory that streams real-time video. To maximize lifetime, data should be stored evenly across all memory cells. The software also must not steal CPU cycles from the system. How Tuxera helped Tuxera’s software fit seamlessly into VxWorks OS used by the customer. It also supported the requirements for low power use, flash lifetime optimization, and file system integrity under all circumstances, even during power failure. The software was also configurable to the needs of the COL-SSD’s very special hardware architecture.
