OUR STORY

We started out as just a few developers working separately on open-source NTFS file system development during the 1990s. Today we’ve grown to a team of over 90 people solving embedded Linux challenges for customers all over the world. Our founders chose the name “Tuxera” to reflect their belief that “Tux” (the Linux penguin’s name) would be the cornerstone of the new “era” of embedded development.

It all began with two Linux fans

Our story starts with Szabolcs Szakacsits (or just Szaka as we call him), a Hungarian developer. Szaka’s passion for Linux began in the 90s while he was working for a Hungarian company collaborating with Rubik’s (of Rubik’s Cube fame). In 1999, he set off for Finland – the birthplace of Linux – to work for F-Secure, and began studying the NTFS file system.

Meanwhile in London, Anton Altaparmakov, then at Cambridge University, began his own development work on the NTFS for the Linux kernel project with the hopes of getting read-write access to his own Windows documents on Linux.

Early–mid 2000s

NTFS-3G project website launched

Great minds think alike

During the early to mid 2000s, Szaka continued studying NTFS technology in his free time as a one-man project in Finland. By 2007, Szaka had established a technical project website for NTFS-3G – through which people began requesting a commercial version, plus associated support. He stayed in Finland, but left F-Secure for Ericsson.

Back in London, the Linux NTFS project had changed hands completely to Anton in 2000. By 2002, Anton had completely rewritten the NTFS driver. Later in 2006, Apple hired him to write an NTFS driver for Mac OS X. But he continued to work with Linux NTFS on the side, supporting one customer.

Then along came the professor

In 2008, Szaka sought the advice of Mikko Välimäki, a professor at Helsinki University of Technology and legal expert on open-source issues. They met to discuss over drinks in a local Helsinki bar. That night, the passion to build a business based on Szaka’s development work and Linux consulting was born. Later, Szaka’s project was incorporated as a Finland-based company, NTFS-3G Technology.

2009

NTFS-3G Technology name changed to Tuxera

Key NTFS developers joined

Licensing agreements forged with Microsoft

The era of Tux begins

Mikko and Szaka sought out key developers working with open-source NTFS technology, bringing Anton on board. Later that year, they reached a fast and friendly legal agreement with Microsoft to develop business around Microsoft’s NTFS technology. The deal also included a licensing agreement for another Microsoft file system technology, exFAT, and thus Tuxera exFAT development began.

NTFS-3G Technology was eventually renamed to Tuxera Inc. with Mikko as CEO, Szaka as President and CTO, and Anton as Lead File System Developer. By the end of 2009, they had one embedded customer in the US, two products (including Tuxera NTFS for Mac), a one-room office in Espoo, Finland, and two new developers: Erik Larsson and Jean-Pierre André. The company also joined its first key industry association – the SD Association.

2010–2012

Expansion into Asia and the USA

Tuxera exFAT, Tuxera HFS+, and Tuxera FAT launched

And we have lift-off…

In 2010, the company began hiring sales and BD talents for the Asian markets, alongside technical talent. Offices in Sunnyvale, USA and Taipei, Taiwan were also established. Tuxera’s product portfolio expanded to include Tuxera HFS+ and Tuxera FAT, and our software shipped in a growing volume of consumer electronics.

By 2011, new offices in Seoul, Korea and Beijing, China were opened. The team nurtured partnerships with major chipset companies. Onward into 2012, Tuxera software was powering some of the most popular Android phones, plus in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) in cars. By then, Tuxera had grown to about 10 employees at HQ, plus sales consultants in the offices abroad. The company rounded off the year with the Deloitte Technology Fast Award.

2013–2015

Tuxera FAT modernized for Android and Linux

AllConnect app and SDK launched

Tuxera Flash File System announced

Deloitte Fast 500 EMEA rank 5

Great Place to Work Finland 2015

Rocketing upwards

Between 2013–2014, the team’s hard work solving customer storage challenges paid off – Tuxera gained position as the global market leader in file systems technology. In 2013, Tuxera FAT for Android and Linux were revamped, the AllConnect app was launched, and the company joined JEDEC. To accommodate an expanding team of about 30, HQ was moved to Helsinki.

By 2014 the AllConnect SDK was launched, and development of Tuxera Flash File System began. The company was also recognized as the 5th fastest growing software company in the Deloitte Fast 500 EMEA listing. When 2015 came around, our software was inside drones, and we started developing Tuxera SMB. Our people remained positive – Tuxera was recognized as one of the best places to work in Finland for 2015.

2016–Today

Partnership with Microsoft expanded through Tuxera SMB

CES 2017 Innovation Award Honoree for AllConnect app

FAT+ launched as file system standard for UFS cards

Great Place to Work Finland 2016, 2017, and 2018

GravityCS, VelocityFS and Fusion File Share product branding launched in 2018

Datalight acquired in 2019

Setting new standards

For 2016, we expanded our partnership with Microsoft with the official launch of Tuxera SMB. The company opened a new office in India. We joined the Universal Flash Storage Association. Our headquarters moved to Espoo, Finland to accommodate our blossoming team. And we were recognized again with Great Place to Work Finland.

Later, Tuxera was named a CES 2017 Innovation Award Honoree for our AllConnect app. Also in 2017, we opened offices in Germany and Japan. Tuxera grew to a mid-sized company with around 70 employees worldwide. What’s more, we were recognized as a Great Place to Work Finland – only this time ranking among the top ten! Plus, our FAT+ technology was announced as a file system standard for UFS storage.

In 2018, we rebranded our core product portfolio into GravityCS, VelocityFS, and Fusion File Share.

Open Source Definition

The following year, 2019, saw us joining forces with North American flash file systems developer Datalight, for a truly comprehensive data management portfolio.

The original vision the founders had about the “era of Tux” has become a reality over the course of Tuxera’s history. With IoT devices, connected cars, and an explosion of data for creating highly personalized services, the future of Linux software looks promising. We see many opportunities for growth going forward – and we hope to have you along for the ride!

History[edit]

The origin of the company dates back to the open-source NTFS development in the late 1990s. NTFS had been introduced in 1993 by Microsoft as the file system for Windows NT. At that time Anton Altaparmakov emerged as the lead developer and maintainer of the Linux NTFS kernel driver. Meanwhile, Szabolcs Szakacsits continued to lead a platform-independent project under the name NTFS-3G. In 2006, NTFS-3G became the first driver to gain full read and write support. Commercial activity started in 2007 and the company was founded next year. In 2009 the company signed agreements with Microsoft,^[4] which was followed by global expansion and establishing the collaboration with chipset vendors and software platform companies.^[5]

In February 2011 Tuxera joined the Linux Foundation,^[6] which was an expected step as for many years Tuxera has contributed to the Linux kernel.

In July 2019 Tuxera acquired Datalight, ^[7] to strengthen its internal storage offering and expertise in flash memory and flash management software.
