  • csSECURE delivers the data-centric solution for information protection. Protection is enforced on the data instead of on the systems, thus being effective even when there is unintended access. csSECURE allows authorised users to allocate any file or email created or accessed a security classification. Based on the information security classification and the security clearance given to the user, he can open, edit, print, copy and/or paste the classified and encrypted information container (files, email, etc). To know more about this Product, go to csSECURE webpage.
  • csWMPI is a middleware for High Performance Computing capable of harnessing the power of workstation clusters to execute highly demanding business or scientific applications with a low price/performance ratio. csWMPI II is widely used in industrial applications such as Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and in academia for research and development programmes and educational purposes. Is was the first fully implementation of the MPI-2 standard written specifically for MS Windows. It supports heterogeneous clusters of Windows and Linux nodes and is free to download and evaluate.

  • csXCEPTION is used by space agencies around the world to test systems in exceptional field situations and worst failure scenarios. In critical sectors, new applications and systems must be intensively tested before deployment to guarantee that the system and built-in fault-tolerance mechanisms are working as expected. Ensuring the system responds appropriately to unusual or exceptional events is a problem that requires something more than traditional testing. Fault Injection is the solution and csXCEPTION performs like no other program. To know more about this Product, go to csXCEPTION webpage
