Award honors the contributions of women in the memory and storage industry

SANTA CLARA, Calif., July 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — FMS: The Future of Memory and Storage recognized as the world’s foremost conference highlighting the key advancements, trends, and industry figures shaping the multi-billion-dollar high-speed memory, storage, and SSD markets, today announced that Harriet Coverston, CTO of Versity Software, has won the SuperWomen of FMS Leadership Award for 2024. The award, now in its sixth year, honors the contributions of women in the memory and storage industry and aims to establish role models who have played pivotal roles in shaping the industry landscape.

Harriet Coverston has made significant contributions to the fields of file systems and archival storage systems over several decades, primarily proving that the integration of high-performance archiving and file systems is feasible on large-scale system implementations. Her work included developing the Quick File System (QFS), which laid the foundation for SAM-QFS. SAM-QFS was the first multi-node clustered file system combined with archiving, addressing the high-performance scaling needs of large real-time streaming data systems.

Coverston’s enhancements and contributions brought this model to market, influencing several subsequent products that are still actively developed and used at large-scale sites worldwide. This technology has shaped archival systems for scientific and research communities.

Today, in her 70s, she remains active in the community, building technology for efficient scale-out archives that encompass the full range of tape, S3, and cloud storage solutions.

Coverston grew up on a farm in the Florida panhandle and graduated with a math degree from Florida State University. She studied abroad her senior year and did volunteer work during the 1966 flood of the Arno, becoming one of the famous “mud angels” who saved priceless works of art in Florence. Ms. Coverston entered the technology world as a programmer and, during her early days, working on the CDC 7600 Livermore Timesharing System at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. From there, in the 1970s, she moved to Control Data Corporation, where she collaborated on the Cyber 205 Operating System and CDCNET. She then went on to co-found LSC, serving as vice-president of technology where she developed SAM-FS and SAM-QFS for managing cold and archived data. Sun Microsystems acquired LSC in 2001 in large part due to LSC’s critical infrastructure work for a major government customer, and she became a distinguished engineer at Sun until 2010. In 2011, she co-founded Versity with Bruce Gilpin, where she has been the CTO, focusing on archiving software.

“Harriet has had an amazing impact on the data infrastructure community and particularly those involved with large scale computing. In a time where AI is on every press release, we know she has helped lay the foundations for the future.” said Camberley Bates, FMS Executive Committee member and Chief Technical Advisor for The Futurum Group. “Throughout her career spanning over five decades, she been a rare female leader paving the way for more SuperWomen of FMS!”

“This recognition is a tremendous honor, and I am proud to stand among the accomplished and notable women before me who have helped advance the data storage technology industry,” said Coverston. “I am deeply humbled to receive this recognition. It is a privilege to contribute to the field of data storage and to stand alongside so many accomplished women who have inspired progress and innovation.”

The award presentation will take place August 7 at 11:30 AM during the FMS Summit in Santa Clara, Calif. In addition to the presentation, a special Superwomen of FMS reception will be held in the evening sponsored by SK Hynix and Kioxia. Space is limited and reservations are required. Follow this link to learn more about the program and reserve your spot.

Chinese brand Desman ranked the top globally in high-end smart locks sales, three major agencies announced

Published

By

BEIJING, Sept. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Hangzhou, Zhejiang province-based Desman (China) Machinery & Electronic Co Ltd has become the global leader in sales of high-end smart locks. Three leading domestic and international agencies jointly announced that the company has ranked the top in the segment in China and the world for three consecutive years for overall sales.

Desman held a conference about the brand’s growth momentum on Sept 25 in Beijing. At the event, three agencies, which are China Daily Hardware Technology Development Center (approved by the State Scientific and Technological Commission), consulting firm Euromonitor International, and Beijing-based market consultancy Shangpu Group, jointly certified that Desman’s high-end smart locks have ranked the top in domestic and global sales for three consecutive years. The brand was also recognized with the certification of “world-leading core technologies”.

During the event, the three agencies presented their comprehensive research results of domestic and international smart locks markets. Based on data from national market research conducted over the past three years (2021-2023), Desman’s high-end smart locks continuously ranked the top for sales in China. Besides, global market research taken over the same period showed that Desman took the top spot for sales volume and market share in the global high-end smart locks market for three straight years.

The certification of “world-leading core technologies” was a result based on extensive interviews with industry experts and an assessment of the core technologies used throughout the lifecycle of the products. This evaluation also included a comparative analysis of major smart locks companies in terms of technological advancement, market recognition, production capacity and sales.

Meanwhile, London-based World Record Certification Agency (WRCA) awarded Desman with the certification of “world’s most outstanding smart lock with ultra-high fingerprint recognition rate” (Desman GPTfinger fingerprint recognition technology). Third-party testing confirmed that the fingerprint module applying Desman’s GPTfinger technology achieved a false acceptance rate of only 0.00099% and a false rejection rate of 0.86379%.

During the event, WRCA certification officer Maksim Kriukov said Desman leads the smart locks industry with its groundbreaking GPTfinger fingerprint recognition technology. It enabled the products to embrace a new era of GPT algorithm-based recognition, and this advancement addresses the challenges faced by a small group of people with difficulties in fingerprint recognition.

In addition, the event witnessed the official signing between Desman and its partner about Desman’s fourth global joint laboratory in Phoenix, Arizona, the United States, and thus completing its global network of building four labs. Those labs are strategically located in diverse environments, including the desert climate of Phoenix; the extreme high temperature climate of Dubai, the United Arab Emirates; the typhoon-prone climate of Taiwan, China; and the moderate climate of Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, China. Together, the labs form a comprehensive testing network and enable Desman products to go through rigorous reliability tests in extreme conditions, ensuring long-term stability of the smart locks products across regions.

Zhu Zhiling, chairman and CEO of Desman, said at the event that the success that Desman has achieved is a snapshot of China’s smart locks industry, and an indication of China’s technological advancements.

“Guided by our vision of ‘technology makes life simpler’, Desman will continue to drive innovation in the smart locks industry and ensure that every household has access to advanced smart locks solutions,” Zhu said.
