StorCard was founded in 2001 on the growing awareness
that individuals lacked a convenient solution to securely
and conveniently transport, access and store digital
information. Several trends underscore this need:
•
The growing number of
mobile and portable devices (PDA's, gaming, portable music,
smart telephones, tablet PCs) with increased processing
power to utilize personal information
•
The continued
increase in digital information
•
The increasing
number of incompatible storage technologies that
lack security and bind information to a
particular application or device.
•
The increased
concerns with information security for
consumers, enterprises and content owners
StorCard delivers a solution to this problem across a
wide range of markets. The combination of the powerful
StorCard and StorReader platform and partnerships for
portable storage applications will deliver the full value
to the marketplace over time.
