Datalight RWD 2.0 Connects Reliable Embedded Data to Systems Running Windows Vista

Datalight has released RWD 2.0, and installable driver for Windows Vista and XP which allows Reliance formatted files to be used by a Windows host machine.

Bothell, WA, September 18, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Datalight announced today the release of RWD 2.0, an installable driver which makes data from devices using its acclaimed Reliance file system exchangeable with computers running Windows Vista or Windows XP operating systems.

Device manufactures, who choose Reliance for superior performance and reliability vis-à-vis the file system found on desktop computers, can now provide their customers the ability to easily share data from their device to their desktop.

The default file system used to exchange data between an embedded device and host PC is FAT (short for File Allocation Table), an early file system designed in the 1970s for desktop computers. While FAT offers broad support for a wide range of devices and hosts, it is prone to corruption and considered by many to be unsuitable for the harsh environments of mobile and battery-powered computing.

“We are pleased to extend support for the Reliance file system beyond the embedded device operating system and onto Windows Vista, giving users a high-reliability file system choice,” said Datalight Director of Engineering, Ken Whitaker. “Now, instead of having to compromise reliability to have exchangeability, with RWD 2.0 device designers can have the best of both worlds.”

RWD 2.0 is available immediately from Datalight or one of its reseller partners world-wide.
