A File Handling Component by EldoS Corporation

Using SolFS you can simplify or completely solve the problem of managing large number of supplementary files, needed to your application. Now your customers won't be confused by unknown files, populating their disk drive. Also the problem of accidential file deletion is solved: all files are kept in one place out of user's touch. When you use one file (file system storage) application maintenance and user support becomes much easier.

When your application works with several data sets, linked with each other, it is important to keep all data in one file. In this case use of SolFS lets you guarantee integrity and completeness of data

SolFS can be used

• When your custom hardware needs a file system with built-in strong encryption and compression.


• When you have numerous files of various formats which are logically associated. It can be useful to store all these files as single unit. So you can be sure that user or another program will not delete or modify some of these files.


• When you want to follow modifications history. Different streams can be easily used for storing different file versions
.

• When you need to support logical structure integrity. Using transactions you can be sure that logical integrity will not be broken even if writing operation was interrupted.


• When you want to encode your files together and not one by one. Strong cryptography system will do this for you with high speed and quality.


• When you whant to store metadata (information that describes data). For example you can mark out separate stream to store name of composer for music file.
