Publication number: 20160283495Abstract: A system, apparatus, method, or computer program product of restricting file access is disclosed wherein a set of file write access commands are determined from data stored within a storage medium. The set of file write access commands are for the entire storage medium. Any matching file write access command provided to the file system for that storage medium results in an error message. Other file write access commands are, however, passed onto a device driver for the storage medium and are implemented. In this way commands such as file delete and file overwrite can be disabled for an entire storage medium.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 7, 2016Publication date: September 29, 2016Applicant: KOM Networks Inc.Inventor: Kamel Shaath

Publication number: 20140330800Abstract: A method and system for managing a file lifecycle is disclosed. The method incorporates a virtual file cabinet having virtual drawers. Files are moved from drawer to drawer throughout their lifecycle in accordance with policies associated with each drawer. The files are moved automatically and as such, a file's lifecycle is managed from file creation to file deletion in an automated fashion. By using an archiving device such as magneto optical storage media, the files are automatically moved to their final archived location in an archiving drawer once certain policies of their present drawer are met. The system is an electronic system employing the inventive method.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 14, 2014Publication date: November 6, 2014Applicant: KOM NETWORKS INC.Inventors: Kamel Shaath, Yaqun Fu, Vinay Parthasarathy, Alexei Jelvis, Abel L.

Patent number: 6546384Abstract: A format structure for storing retrievable data on a sequential data storage medium, which includes in an exemplary embodiment a start field for indicating the start of a data file, an index field for storing indexing data respecting the data file, and a data field. Stored encoded data on the storage medium can use the last file written on the storage medium to create indexing data that can be stored alongside the data files as they written so that each sequential data storage medium remains fully indexed.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2002Date of Patent: April 8, 2003Assignee: Kom Networks Inc.Inventors: Kamel Shaath, Richard Freeman

Patent number: 6438642Abstract: A managed space device and method is disclosed. To store data in the managed space a virtual non-volatile storage medium having a plurality of corresponding physical non-volatile storage media associated therewith is provided. Locations within each physical non-volatile storage medium correspond to locations within the virtual non-volatile storage medium. Then data for storage in the virtual non-volatile storage medium is provided. Once these are provided free space sufficient for storing the provided data is determined at locations within the virtual storage medium. The data is then stored at those locations and indexing information relating to the data is stored within an index.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 1999Date of Patent: August 20, 2002Assignee: KOM Networks Inc.Inventor: Kamel Shaath
