Microsoft Technology Licensing LLC and Tuxera, Inc. have deepened their collaboration with an exFAT partner agreement, fostering innovative business solutions for customers worldwide.

The collaboration will allow Tuxera to provide customers exFAT technology along with a patent license from Microsoft in a single competitively priced product.

“We are very happy with this arrangement. Now more than ever, customers deserve exFAT solutions that are hassle-free and intelligently priced. We are confident that with this increased cooperation, we will be able to provide these benefits even better than before,” says Szabolcs Szakacsits, president and CTO, Tuxera. “As a global leader in file systems, we have developed our exFAT implementation for ultimate performance and fail-safety.“

“As the demand for storage increases, it’s more important than ever that file system software keeps pace,” says Rob Kowal, director, exFAT licensing, Microsoft. “By strengthening our longstanding partnership, customers can focus on innovation because by using Microsoft exFAT by Tuxera their storage needs will be met.“

Powering  future of SD capability with bulletproof performance
exFAT technology remains an industry file system embedded into nearly any device requiring high-capacity storage support-including USB drives, In-vehicle Infotainment (IVI) systems, and Secure Digital (SD) memory cards. With embedded storage needs rising among automotive systems, drones, and video content distributors, OEMs are facing a growing need for storage software able to keep up with market demands. Tackling this surge in storage demand requires implementations able to get the most out of exFAT technology.

Since 2009, Tuxera has been a partner of Microsoft – their first within the domain of file system implementations. Thanks to this cooperation, it developed an understanding of what’s required for a  premium, high-capacity storage experience for Windows-compatible file systems.

Precision-tuned for performance regardless of the platform, Microsoft exFAT by Tuxera is customizable to suit high-capacity flash storage needs. A performance kernel module built for speed and reliability, Microsoft exFAT by the company allows to attain the maximum I/O throughput from any device.
