Direct Network Attached CD & DVD Servers
Direct Network Attached CD & DVD Servers have become the standard method of distributing CDs over networks by network managers and administrators looking for a quick, cost-effective method of getting rapidly changing, or library data on-line.

CD Servers offer the added advantage of bringing easily understood and commonly used technology to the network environment. At Dscovery we offer a variety of different CD Server systems and Jukeboxes by most major brand manufacturers. The range incorporates Direct Network Attached systems that require no host and simply plug into your existing network, SCSI Autochanger CD Towers that rely on a conventional SCSI connection to a host server, to full CD & DVD Jukeboxes with capacities of up to 500 CDs in a single unit. The NetBox series of CD Servers offer Direct Network Attached Storage (DNAS) CD storage combined in a simple small unit.

For an overview of the advantages of using independent CD Servers instead of computer-based CD servers, or multiple CD copies, read these extracts from Axis.

These products are true "plug 'n play" solutions that turn CD-ROM drives, towers and jukeboxes into network resources. Place it where needed and connect mutliple CD-ROM drives & discs to each unit.

They are completely file server independent and include native and simultaneous support for NetWare, Microsoft (3.x, 9x, NT, ME, 2000), OS/2, UNIX and Web clients. The AXIS StorPoint CD gives you high-performance access today and with the newest 10/100 model will provide a seamless upgrade path to Fast Ethernet CD-ROM sharing tomorrow.

Axis units are available as either standalone server units to which you may attach any CD-ROM devices you wish, or integrated into CD tower systems. Many of the CD Tower Servers available today from a host of manufacturers and OEM companies incorporate Axis technology into the units to provide the network capabilities. All ranges of CD Server Towers incorporate Axis CD/T units within the tower chassis.

 


NetBox

The LaCie CD & DVD NetBox series represents the latest generation of Direct Network Attached Storage devices: CDs or DVDs are transferred from a drive to a hard disk. The disc contents are then immediately available for instant access to all connected users.

The LaCie NetBox is a independent network appliance, i.e. the NetBox communicates directly with the client, minimising network traffic. As the NetBox is directly plugged into an Ethernet network, performance and availability of the files do not depend on the server specifications. For fuller technical details on the NetBox series see our product pages.
