myData™ under myControl™

Today people work with multiple devices rather than just the classic desktop PC. Laptop, tablet and smartphone are part of every day's life. All devices are used both professionally and personally, and on them we may store some very sensitive data. Much of the growing data set is pretty insecure on local and external hard drives. Third parties can gain access to those and change data, delete, and duplicate them. The synchronization of data between devices rarely works smoothly: multiple versions of the same file may pile up and you are unable to assign them to the original any longer.

It is difficult to keep track of their own data, sometimes it is not clear who has which access rights. A clear localization of data resources including an adequate rights management (DRM) is not supported by today's systems neither.

Cloud services promise to improve this situation by making the once uploaded data centralized and accessible from everywhere. However, this method has a catch:

In order to make data available in the cloud, it first has to be uploaded there. At this point you lose self-control of your data to the service provider.

The service provider has to protect these data for access by third parties and by himself - you neither can check how he may do it nor whether it will fully meet its obligations. Do you really want to entrust such an approach for your private financial data, control data, or design data of prototypes?

The content of myData ™ under myControl ™ is about to provide a secure enterprise-information-access-solution for this particular cloud. The Cquadrat GmbH has developed such a system that is flexible enough to adapt to each customer's needs, and with which their data can be safely administered and managed. The user should retain control of his data. Nevertheless, one should be able to access from anywhere, even from outside their own private network on the own data.

myData ™ under myControl ™ is installed on all own devices. Individual instances shall communicate with each other via computer and network boundaries, so that it will be possible via a virtual file Explorer to gain access to all decentral files.

Over time, the system will get to know all the data on the partitions and will store meta-information about it. This meta-information, such as locations, size, duplicate properties, and so on, are made available to the user via the virtual File Explorer.

The Virtual File Explorer contains the same functionality as known file explorer, but also offers a lot more functionality: you can delete duplicates, replace it with a reference or only put one copy of the original file to a backup location.

With other users who also use myData™ under myControl™, any files will be split, but also may be recalled the access to their own files. All data is stored encrypted exclusively by myData ™ under myControl ™.
