Incorporating our many years of experience in optical storage and file systems, PoINT Jukebox Manager is installed and configured on our MDI Network Attached Server/RAID (NAS) system. Optical libraries appear as partitioned, shareable Windows volumes. Sophisticated caching mechanisms assure that needed data volumes remain accessible from the RAID system. The system is fully integrated and tested to provide connectivity to any optical library model creating an ideal archival storage solution for applications and environments requiring a highly accessible write once storage system with unlimited capacities.

The ease of installation and simple, yet high function, user interface saves money and time throughout the product lifecycle.

MDI’s unique enhancements differentiate the Express Stor in flexibility and reliability. The performance of an Archive Edition NAS is approximately 20% greater than a comparably configured file server due to the operating system being streamlined to support file service as opposed to general purpose applications. Two NAS RAID models are available with base usable RAID capacities from 1 TB to 2 TB, plus expansion to several times the base capacity. Express Stor Compliance Edition models provide scalable solutions for workgroups to enterprise datacenters.

The DISC BD Series offers a range of automated optical media libraries which provide near-line access to data stored on CD, DVD and Blu-ray media. Your data is protected with DISC’s “Touch Less Technology” with the media stored on trays to prevent handling damage. The SmartPack™ continues this touch-less protection when you remove, offline, media and provides a protective case for external management of your media.

Jukebox Benefits, RAID Performance
Euroson Jukebox Server Appliances work with any Jukebox to provide an ideal archival storage solution for applications and environments requiring a highly accessible Write Once storage system. An optical jukebox storage system provides the most cost effective method to store and preserve valuable records, documents and files for extended periods. And no other technology provides a more Compliant Data Storage environment. With its sophisticated cache management utilities, our Jukebox Server delivers these benefits without sacrificing performance. Using the included RAID storage to provides a sophisticated read caching mechanism allowing migrated data to remain on line for fast read access.

Sophisticated Write Caching and Migration
A multi level Write caching mechanism allows files to be transparently migrated from RAID to Write optical media volumes based upon conditions such as data age, volume size, or when last modified. An “Attribute Based” utility allows migration to the data based upon change of file attributes using the standard Windows file system.

Transparent Access for ANY Application
Data Volume sets are represented as standard network shares which remain accessible from RAID and Optical disc via a secure read only file system and may not be altered or destroyed. Transparent, Write-Once Read Many (WORM) access is provided for any application or client without the need for API interface, client software or alteration of workflow. The Windows mechanisms for sharing and security apply to the Virtual Jukebox File system shares as well.

Compliance, Redundancy, and Disaster Recovery
Express Stor Jukebox Server is cost-effective data storage and management appliance designed to address growing regulatory compliance requirements by writing data transparently to Optical media. Data Volumes can optionally be mirrored to multiple optical media sets in order to provide redundancy, off sight storage and disaster recovery. An Off Line database provides complete file system details of all off line media, allowing recovery of individual files and restoration of complete Data Volumes.

Complete File System Management
Express Stor Jukebox Server offers complete control and management of the file system. An Administration console works transparently with the Windows file system to allow Data Volumes to be managed and shared. Volumes dynamically increase in capacity as needed, and may also be restricted in size if required.

Fully Configured and Tested
Express Stor Jukebox Server is a completely configured solution ready to connect any Optical jukebox to your network as a compliant write once storage device. Setup is fast and easy. Browser based Administrative tools provide menu driven access to all functions.

Lowest Total Cost of Ownership
Optical Jukebox storage has been proven to provide the Lowest Total Cost of Ownership of any data storage method. With our Express Stor Jukebox Server Appliance, integrating this leading technology is made simple and reliable.
