system calls



file managementsystem

  • process control


    Also referred to as simply a file system or filesystem. The system that an operating system or program uses to organize and keep track of files. For example, a hierarchical file system is one that uses directories to organize files into a tree structure.
    Although the operating system provides its own file management system, you can buy separate file management systems. These systems interact smoothly with the operating system but provide more features, such as improved backup procedures and stricter file protection.

  • file management -

    Keeps tracks of available space on the system

    Maintains directory structure and hierarchy

    Supports file manipulation commands

    Keeps track of file information (inode, name, timestamp)


  • device management - Device Management is a set of technologies, protocols and standards used to allow the remote management of mobile devices, often involving updates of firmware over the air (FOTA). The network operator, handset OEM or in some cases even the end-user (usually via a web portal) can use Device Management, also known as Mobile Device Management, or MDM, to update the handset firmware/OS, install applications and fix bugs, all over the air. Thus, large numbers of devices can be managed with single commands and the end-user is freed from the requirement to take the phone to a shop or service center to refresh or update.
    For companies, a Device Management system means better control and safety as well as increased efficiency, decreasing the possibility for device downtime. As the number of smart devices increases in many companies today, there is a demand for managing, controlling and updating these devices in an effective way. As mobile devices have become true computers over the years, they also force organizations to manage them properly. Without proper management and security policies, mobile devices pose threat to security: they contain lots of information, while they may easily get into wrong hands. Normally an employee would need to visit the IT / Telecom department in order to do an update on the device. With a Device Management system, that is no longer the issue. Updates can easily be done "over the air". The content on a lost or stolen device can also easily be removed by "wipe" operations. In that way sensitive documents on a lost or a stolen device do not arrive in the hands of others.

  • imformation maintenance

    Product information may include all sorts of different data:

  • Basic descriptions
  • Selling features
  • Technical specifications
  • Pricing
  • Photos
  • Logos
  • Diagrams
  • etc

And each of these may have many variations. Some are used for brochures, some in price lists. Sometimes the same wording is required, sometimes different. One person may be arranging a new brochure, another updating the website. How do you ensure consistency and avoid duplication?

Centralised data maintenance

The answer is to manage all of the data from one place. The data can exist in different forms and even be located in different places but is controlled by one system—infobank.

infobank provides the best of both worlds: distributed data entry with centralised control. Individual users can be dispersed over your network or connected over the Internet.
