At first, streaming seemed like the answer to everyone’s desire to be able to watch any program, anytime, from virtually anywhere they wanted to. But, like the saying goes, all good things come to an end. In order to entice consumers to cut the cord, toss out their DVD collection, and commit to their streaming service, many of those providers offered everything under the sun from their catalogs and beyond. Whether that streaming service made the content originally or not, they still need to pay royalties to rebroadcast the content. After years of trying to attract new viewers, to varying degrees of success, now the stock holders of these companies care more about profits than increasing subscribers. That means unprofitable shows have to go. If certain content is either too costly or not viewed enough to justify the cost, those shows are now getting cut from the streaming services, meaning once again, if you don’t own your own copy of that content, it may be difficult to view it.

That’s why Vinpower has been advocating for years about the value of ownership and keeping multiple copies on various storage mediums to ensure it’s safe keeping. Whether you want to store your content on optical discs, flash drives, SSD, etc., Vinpower offers the best quality and reliable solutions for anyone anywhere. You don’t have to only accept the programming offered, you can keep all the programs you enjoy most and not let someone else dictate what’s worth watching or not.

Similar to when you’re expecting a new addition to your family, there’s lots of excitement and anticipation for the initial launch of a new product. The iXCharger, a 65W, up to 1TB of memory, charging storage cube has been incubating for quite some time and it’s nearly ready to burst onto the scene. The first pilot production run is anticipated for July and there is already a waiting list of early adopter influencers and industry tastemakers that have been patiently waiting for months to get the 1st iXChargers off the production line.

Much like when the first cellphone added a camera feature. That enhancement eventually became not just the standard for the industry, but a significant selling feature for all cellphones to follow. The iXCharger has the potential to revolutionize the power and storage industry in the same way. If you haven’t already put your name on the list, best to contact us now to be added.

For those of you that visited Vinpower’s booth during Computex, we thank you and look forward to following up on our discussions. The revolutionary iXCharger of course garnered the most attention, but a close second were the improved line of iXflash mobile flash storage products. Not surprisingly, the upcoming iXCharger, which is the first of its kind 65W up to 1TB charging storage cube, created the greatest buzz. The iXCharger will allow users to replace their charging cubes for their mobile phones, tablets, and most laptops as well as provide up to 1TB of storage that will work with all 3 platforms, reducing the need for separate charging cubes and storage devices items into a single product. Plus, being able to maintain your digital content from all 3 types of portable devices on a single storage device means that you never have to wonder where you saved that file, picture, movie, etc., as you can load them all to one device with separate folders maintaining the integrity of each set of files.

Additionally, our original iXflash and the latest iXflash Cube also registered a number of positive inquiries, especially since we’ve added compatible Android capabilities. The iXflash is the traveling hard drive with both a USB (Type A or C) and Lightning connection for your mobile phone or tablet. It can back up all your photos and videos, record video with an iPhone or iPad without using any of your iOS device’s memory, transfer files between your all your mobile devices and computers. You can even watch, listen, or work on files stored on the iXflash through your mobile devices, including some files that are not natively supported by Apple for iOS devices. Plus the iXflash Cube, is a portable storage device that connects to your iOS devices charging cube and cable to allow the user to charger their iOS device and automatically backup all photos, videos, and contacts at the same time. That way, you always have a backup that you can easily transfer to a computer with a USB connection for safe keeping or easy viewing.

Plus, our line of duplicators, especially the hard drive, USB, and SD duplicators also garnered interest from a number of visitors. Flash is increasingly used across many devices and duplication is the only way to mass produce the content stored on them. Vinpower’s flash and hard drive duplicators make it easy and reliable.

For much of the world, the second Sunday in May is Mother’s Day. At Vinpower, we wish to honor all mother’s for the amazing and selfless job they do or did raising their children. Additionally, we want to honor Mother Earth and in doing so, we are sharing a way that corporations and SMB’s can also help the planet, by offloading their cold data onto optical discs. By offloading the massive troves of cold data stored on the servers of larger corporations, small and medium businesses, and laying waste in cloud farms, we could reduce a tremendous amount of energy, therefore reducing carbon emissions, emitted heat, and any ancillary harmful effects.

Cold data is defined as data storage that is rarely accessed, therefore considered “cold”. Hence, there is no reason to maintain cold data in the same manner as frequently used Hot Data. That’s why cold data can be stored on less expensive storage media, like optical discs. To optimize storage costs and reduce waste, in terms of financial cost as well as the toll it takes on Mother Earth, offloading cold data onto optical discs is the ideal solution. The content on optical discs can be recalled easily and only requires slightly more time than hot data that’s frequently accessed. In using optical discs for cold data, then you’re not only honoring our Mother Earth, but you’re also ensuring you have a far more reliable and cost effective option for backup and storage compared to other more volatile storage methods.

Vinpower offers the perfect cold data solution with our 128GB BDXL Blu-ray media. With the ability to hold a massive amount of content, more than 5 times that of standard Blu-ray discs, and an archival life of up to 100 years, it’s the ideal backup solution.

All over the world, it’s increasingly necessary and in some cases mandated to keep accurate archived records that can be accessible and available for a specific amount of time. That timeframe is often longer than many standard methods of data storage can manage, such as hard drives, flash, tape, even many forms of optical discs cannot be trusted to last long enough to meet certain government archival standards.

That’s why Pioneer created a new combination Blu-ray drive and 25GB BD-R disc combo package that is guaranteed to last 100+ years under proper storage conditions. They are able to achieve this by fine tuning both the drive and disc to burn the content onto the disc in such a manner that it will not decay or fade for at least 100 years.

Optical discs are naturally better solutions for archiving due to having the lowest cost per byte of data, strong resilience to elements, drops, and magnetic or static forces, plus it can be stored in a manner that doesn’t require energy or special accommodations. All of this plus more make optical discs the ideal storage solution, and with new advances pushing the archival capabilities to 100+ years, makes them the de-facto king of storage.

Vinpower is also on the cutting edge of data storage and archival capabilities. If your company needs storage solutions that won’t break the bank, contact us today.

This Saturday, April 22 is Earth Day, but for Vinpower, we are focused everyday on how we can lower our carbon footprint and develop products that follow the ESG directives many forward thinking companies have put in place. That is one of the key reasons Vinpower developed the multi-purpose compact iXCharger. As we are all aware, every electronic mobile phone, tablet, or computer requires two critical components; a method to power the device and a way to store digital content to be used on that device. Often the memory installed on the device is not sufficient, so we have to purchase additional memory in the form of an external hard drive/SSD, USB drive, SD Card, etc., and we will carry multiple power cube chargers so that we have a specialize one for each device.

That’s a lot of extra products and plastic that could end up in our landfills, oceans, neighborhoods, creating an environmental, social, and governance nightmare. With the iXCharger, you have a single charger and extra memory storage that can replace all the charging cubes and external memory devices for all your portable mobile devices. The iXCharger works across all platforms, from Apple iOS and MacBooks to Android, as well as Windows and other mobile PC based operating systems. Plus, the iXCharger’s enhanced GaN charging technology and extremely compact design means it produces less heat and uses far less plastic than traditional higher capacity charging cubes and external memory devices.

Vinpower has always cared about the planet and the legacy we leave to those that come after us and the iXCharger is a testament to that vision.

The Mobile World Congress (MWC) is an annual trade show organized by GSMA, which is a global organization of mobile technology operators and associate members, dedicated primarily to the mobile communications industry. At this event held annually in late February to early March, members discuss all aspects of business and upcoming trends. Much like most trade shows, it’s where participants like to introduce their latest offerings.

At this recent MWC, Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd., announced their proposed method for tackling one of the biggest challenges for traditional IT/CT services as it relates to data storages for Video, Big Data, and Cloud. Their solution was one that Vinpower has been touting for years, but I digress. Huawei said the future of cold storage is Blu-ray optical discs!

Their research shows that the proportion of cold data exceeds 70% of all stored data. Given the nature of cold data means it’s rarely if ever recalled by the owners, the companies holding that data require a low-cost archiving solution. In response, Huawei launched a Blu-ray storage initiative, which has a longer service life and reduces the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) by 70%. That means the ability to offload 70% of data from servers by storing it on Blu-ray optical discs, means the Cloud operators can saves 70% of costs related to electricity, hardware, and maintenance, let alone the tremendous reduction of environmental impact. Plus, optical discs provide an inherent protection against data breaches due to the content being kept offline with multifactor data protection against hackers and other data breaches.

All of this isn’t new, Vinpower has been proclaiming the benefits of cold storage on optical discs for years now, but what is new is the major investment and measured launch that large corporations are now taking this method seriously. So if you want to be ahead of the curve but aren’t a billion dollar corporation, contact Vinpower on ways we can help set you up with a cold storage solution on optical discs. Sometimes the best solutions are the simplest ones.

So much of our lives revolve around digital content, particularly on our smartphones. Our smartphones have become our go to for virtually everything, from our camera to our personal pocket computer. The problem is, all that important content typically just stays on that device, and if anything ever happened to it, then you could lose everything in a blink of an eye. This is especially true for iPhone and iPad users where it’s more complicated to remove content from an iPhone/iPad to store onto another device. Perhaps you could use iCloud, but it has a monthly recurring cost that increases as you need more storage space. I’m not here to promote doom and gloom, and the odds may be low, but it’s incredibly easy to make a simple backup of all these files that would give you piece of mind and the security to protect your most important digital content. Simply use an iXflash or iXflash Cube to back up all your photos, videos, and contacts from your iPhone or iPad.

Backing up using an iXflash device, provides a safe guard that could mean the difference between losing everything and having piece of mind. From the iXflash or iXflash Cube, you can transfer those files onto 1 or multiple hard drives, optical discs, onto any cloud service (instead of being restricted to iCloud), or even onto another smartphone. This simple backup would drastically decrease the chances you will have a catastrophic loss.

On this World Backup Day, Vinpower provides all the tools needed to easily and successfully backup all your digital content on to physical media and keep them safe and secure for decades to come.

The iXCharger was spotlighted at the Applied Power Electronics Conference (APEC) this week and garnered a tremendous response from the press and attendees alike. In fact, a member of the press that interviewed us about the device said it was “Shocking”! Ordinarily you wouldn’t want to associate something as “Shocking” at a Power Electronics Conference, but in this case it was a very positive attribute from a journalist that has seen it all in the power world but never seen or considered a product like the iXCharger. In fact, several journalist were so excited by this new innovation in the power world, they asked us to participate in their podcasts when the product is available for consumers this summer.

Overall, it was an incredible reception for the iXCharger from those that are entrenched in the development of components related to power products for electronic devices, from resisters to electric car batteries. The consensus opinion was that no one had ever considered creating a power cube with storage memory, but now that they are aware of it, they instantly recognized how useful and necessary it will be.

Vinpower wishes to thank our partner, Silanna Semiconductor, for their invaluable contribution to the development of the iXCharger and inviting us to exhibit our new product with their latest power charger products at APEC. The iXCharger will be making the rounds at various tradeshows and events this year, so stay tuned for your opportunity to see it in person at our next stop on this power storage train.
