Network CD/DVD Servers
CD &DVD Network servers 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.

Benefits

  • Increasing the number of CD/DVDs available to network clients – Hard Disk allows you to store multiple images of CDs
  • Fifteen times faster than a jukebox – access time from hard disk: 9ms compared to 150ms from CDs or DVDs.
  • Keeping high value CD/DVDs safe away from the desktop in a secure location, while keeping data available online.
  • Manage the files from any web browser, no specific software to learn.
  • Sturdy box: no fragile or complex robotics.

Autonomous
Network CD/DVD Servers are independent network appliances, i.e. the server communicates directly with the client, minimising network traffic. As the server is directly plugged into an Ethernet network, performance and availability of the files do not depend on the server specifications.

Scalable
Many servers feature multiple connectors, RJ45 connectors for network connection and data interface connectors (such as SCSI, FC. USB etc.) for upgrading capacity by adding other devices. When the server has reached its maximum capacity of extension, it is possible to plug other servers onto the network, allowing headroom (future expansion capacity) as your requirements grow.
