U-Key-Com™ FIDA USB2.0 Flash Drive w/Fingerprint
ID Authentication; Latest Developments

ThinkCP™ Technologies’ U-Key-Com™ FIDA drive has proven to be
quite popular, as we had expected. For those of you not familiar with
the U-Key-Com FIDA drives, these pocket sized, secure, USB2 flash
storage drives originally served as our flagship product when we launched
Think Security Products™ late last year.

Here’s a few points we would like to clarify;
•





•


•


•




•		 The FIDA drive supports administrator and user
rights. This allows multiple users to access the drive without being able to access another user’s data. Each user has separate fingerprint authentication and separate rights as set by the administrator, similar to theprocess deployed in many network environments.

The current U-Key-Com™ FIDA Driver, issued by ThinkCP™ Technologies is Version 3.8.

The drive is NOT FIPS 140-1 or 140-2 validated. However, the Rijndael encryption engine is FIPS 197 AES approved.

Laptop Conflicts? Some users have reported conflicts with laptops that use embedded biometric authenticators. The easiest solution is to disable the embedded authenticator in the system BIOS and allow the FIDA drive to serve as the primary authenticator.

Think Security Products™ – Demand Growing

Last year, ThinkCP™ Technologies launched Think Security Products, which encompasses both Think CP brand products & our select OEM & channel partners solutions & services. Demand has continued to grow exponentially
since the launch.

Think CP works with a host of teaming partners and solutions providers to customize security solutions for the requirements of each customer. We develop solutions from the ground up or for integration within the existing infrastructure. Our flexibility and diverse capabilities help distinguish ThinkCP™ Technologies from the ever-crowding security, storage and information technology market.

Think Security Products currently focuses on authentication, biometrics, encryption, forensics, secure storage/data management and elements of network security. Our software solutions include computer forensics, data absolution (data removal), data mining/retrieval, disaster recovery/backup, storage management, emergency/ contingency management, identity management, firewall software & theft prevention/asset control. We will be expanding to include solutions from other security segments throughout the year.

In upcoming issues of Think Inside-The-Box, we’ll be publishing more
information about new and existing security solutions; everything from
cutting-edge, to tried-and-true security products. We’ll keep you informed of new product developments, and let you know which white papers are
available courtesy of our most valued partners.

While You’re Planning, Plan on Digi-Data

If you’re currently in the process of planning storage designs for data intensive I/O apps., such as data collection and real-time/NRT analysis, video imaging, high volume transaction databases or any other demanding, high performance applications, you’ll find it’s worth your effort to evaluate Digi-Data’s STORM® storage technologies as part of your potential design implementation.

“World's Fastest RAID Storage”

At the core of Digi-Data Corp.’s STORM® family is an innovative Disk Controller Module featuring eight fully independent 2Gb Fibre Channel host/drive connections, high-bandwidth architecture, and a unique dual processor design. When Digi-Data’s specialized Disk Controller Module is combined with DDC’s specially designed Disk Enclosure Modules, a tiered storage architecture is enabled as Fibre Channel, Serial ATA or both technologies in one high performance STORM system, capable of moving data from disk to the network faster and more consistently than any other RAID systems currently available.

The Digi-Data STORM® Xtreme Product Family Digi-Data Corporation’s STORM® series includes the STORM® Xtreme HA, Storm® Xact & STORM Xata.

STORM® Xact is a cost effective solution for workgroup or depar™ental applications. Scaling to 4.7TB of Fibre Channel storage.
http://www.thinkcp.com/products/StormXact.asp

STORM® Xata combines performance & scalability with economical IDE/SATA/PATA drive technology to create a cost-effective Fibre-SATA (or PATA) storage solution for large on-line storage capacities within a smaller budget. http://www.thinkcp.com/products/StormXata.asp

STORM® Xtreme & Xtreme-HA (High Availibility) systems deliver massive I/O operations, breathtaking data transfer rates and the highest data availability in its class. Scaleable up to 200 Terabytes+, and true “no single point-of-failure” reliability for mission critical environments requiring 24x7 perfection. http://www.thinkcp.com/products/StormXtremeHigh.asp

STORM® F8 Turbo Disk Controller Modules are literally among the most powerful & versatile Fibre Channel RAID controllers in the market. The controller uses advanced technology, including 8 fully independent 2 Gb Fibre Channel connections, dual special purpose processors, and a high speed multi-channel bus architecture to achieve uncompromising results.

RECON RAID Manager is an ultra-intuitive RAID management system embedded directly within the STORM controller firmware that enables browser based GUI operability with zero installation. RECON takes the complexity out of configuring, monitoring and maintaining STORM systems by providing complete control and visibility over the STORM system.
http://www.thinkcp.com/products/RECONRAIDManager.asp

STORM XapShot is an exclusive option for the STORM RAID F8 Turbo DCM which provides a simple, flexible means of creating point-in-time copies of production data enabling you to test new applications faster, migrate data to optimize storage utilization, or to create back-up copies. XapShot runs within the STORM DCM freeing up server and SAN infrastructure resources.
