Emerging Market for Smart TVs, Set Top Boxes, Smartphones, Tablets, and Connected Devices Drive Demand for Paragon’s Android and Linux Drivers
Paragon Software is experiencing an unprecedented growth in demand from top Android and Linux mobile and embedded device manufacturers for its cross-platform exFAT, NTFS, and HFS+ driver technology. Paragon’s OEM program has seen requirements to specify its cross-platform Universal File System Driver (UFSD) technology grow as a result of high consumer demand for Android-powered Smart TVs/Monitors/Set Top Boxes, Smartphones, Tablets and Connected Devices, which fully support SDXC cards and Windows/Mac USB drives.
Over 10 years ago, Paragon recognized a need for fast UFSD technology to provide full cross-platform access to all of the popular file systems under diverse platforms (Android, Linux, Windows, and Mac) where these file systems are not natively supported — while maintaining data integrity. Paragon’s technology successfully bridges the gap between any file system and the various operating systems or embedded kernels in the market. Representative UFSD Tier 1 OEM Paragon customers for Android- and Linux-based devices include top manufacturers such as the following:
Acer
ASUS
Buffalo
Cisco Systems
Hitachi Ltd.
NETGEAR
Logitech
LG Electronics
Western Digital
EMC/Iomega
Seagate
Lenovo
“Paragon has been a strong partner for Buffalo; their first-class OEM support as well as the superior performance and features of their technology are key reasons we have chosen PSG for our Smart Box project,” said Kentaro Odaka, General Manager of Product Development Div. at Buffalo Inc.
