Project Summary:
The project goal was to solve the problem of the space shortage while storing large amounts of data on a local hard disk - documents, audio and video files. This was implemented by emulating a local hard disk of the required capacity. For a user the process of data saving looked like it was a regular procedure, but in fact the virtual disk capacity significantly exceeded the hard drive capacity of any of the users' computers and the data was stored in the cloud.

Project Description

Our company was engaged in the project as a contractor to participate in the virtual data storage development. A team of six developers and two testers was led by a technical leader on the client’s side and was responsible for current task planning and implementation.

The tasks performed by Polytech Software team:

Developing user interface.
Developing data synchronization services – cash managementl, read-write operations tracking, forwarding data blocks to the cloud storage, data encryption and compression for the transmission process, versioning support.
Working with the API of the cloud storage for implementing the data transfer and storage functionality.
Integration with the Windows file system drives

The client received a full-featured beta version of the program that allows users to work with an unlimited range of data on the local virtual disk.
