UNITREE Hierarchical Mass Storage

UNITREE is a UNIX-like hierarchical mass storage file system that was developed to transparently (to the user) store vast quantities of data in large automated tape silos and other similar large data library devices. UNITREE systems greatly extend the capacity of conventional UNIX file systems, and are capable of supporting data storage measured in petabytes (a petabyte is 10¹² bytes of data).

UNITREE was originally commercialized by DISCOS, a small intrepreneurial company on the campus of General Atomics in San Diego, California.

We developed significant enhancements to the system software and provided related testing and documentation services. We also participated in due-diligence evaluations of other company and technology acquisitions after DISCOS was acquired by OpenVision.
