About Limes

Since 1985, limes datentechnik® gmbh has been successfully producing quality software that simplifies data exchange across platforms and across borders (formatting, converting), secures data archiving and transmitting (encrypting, signature) while reducing storage use (compressing), and, finally, allows accessing data without depending on particular platforms or data formats (access method).

What do we offer?

• Professional management of compressed and encrypted data including strong access control
• Secure data storage (archive) and data transfer
• Protection of data privacy, integrity, and completeness
• Cutting-edge security technologies for handling of sensitive data being outsourced, securing clouds etc.
• Meeting safety requirements such as "need-to-know", PCIDSS, etc.
• Easy data exchange across borders, platforms, and formats (with regard to internationalization moves, when migrating, etc.)
• Saving of time and money through automation options and reduced resource utilization (CPU, memory, external storage)

How do we achieve it?

• Converting, compressing, encrypting, and signing of data
• Reading and writing methods for various data and file formats
• Transforming data into a neutral internal format (FLAMFILE®) that allows searching and positioning within encrypted and compressed data
• Storage of data in various formats (file, cluster, VSAM, database)
• Separating data compression and encryption (client) from data storage (server)
• Neutral access to individual data records, data elements, or bytes via various APIs
• Connecting solutions to any cryptographic infrastructure with access control via key-management including periodic or adhoc re-keying
• Unrestricted extendibility and adaptability through customer-APIs for Cobol/PL1, c/C++ and Java (other programming languages on request)
• Transparent integration as I/O subsystem, user space file system, ISP, driver or by incorporating as a subroutine
• Scripting, backup, restart and stream capability for switching to automated operation
• Programming in ANSI-C and assembler utilizing hardware accelerators and special instructions of the various platforms
