Manufacturing application solutions on USB

Microsoft and storage device maker SanDisk have set up a partnership in a project to build a new generation of USB drives and memory cards that allow users to carry a separate application software capable of running. on any computer with Windows operating system.

The effort of this partnership will improve the existing platform of U3 Smart security technology invented by SanDisk for lack of USB storage and their memory card manufacturing. Accordingly, Microsoft will provide a software solution while SanDisk focuses on building hardware, launching a suite of applications that run directly from storage devices and users can install the configuration for in-device software. Every time you connect to the computer.

The two partners have a common goal until the end of next year, the device will be officially launched to the public. SanDisk spokesman Mike Langberg said ' For us, this is an upgrade plan for U3 to its next level. Microsoft collaboration is very important, because it provides a better integration with the operating system. At the same time other manufacturers realize that we are not a competitor. Developers will create a new application environment for convenient portable storage solutions. It is like a user who has a computer with the ability to share with Windows XP or Vista .

Technically, data and application software will be encrypted on storage devices and secure computer virus defenses by integrating TrustedFlash technology, another memory card security solution invented by SanDisk. Some open source software applications such as Firefox and OpenOffice can also be preinstalled on that advanced U3 storage device.
