At APF we fully understand the data pool in today’s enterprise environment is enormous, and the number is growing fast as the digital transformation is in full force. Therefore, we designed UDS to be cloud native and expandable as needed. Our patent-pending technologies break every capacity and performance ceiling that limit other products and allow UDS to serve enterprises of all size with excellent performance. Providing UDS as a SaaS (software as a service), we take care of the details of growing the UDS cloud to match all business needs. Meanwhile, the data life cycle management by UDS, the first of its kind, can effectively remove end-of-life data safely and quickly to reduce cost and exposure.

We achieved the unprecedented scale by focusing on parallel computing to take advantage of the nearly unlimited horizontal expansion at a reasonable cost provided by cloud computing. Wherever possible, we break down the algorithms into pieces that can be executed independently to run them on multiple servers simultaneously; wherever the roadblocks appear, we innovate and create new algorithms to achieve the same or better. Four years later, we have UDS that can protect and control the access to billions of files by hundreds of thousands of users on hundreds of thousands of devices across the globe in real-time, a scale that has not been reached before.
