blu-ray archival systems......

Are you questioning how and where to archive your digital files long term with low cost of ownership?  
          (Medical images, video files, or other critical data network available).

Then SaS Webtronics would like to introduce the DISC Storage Blu-ray archiving solution that is the answer!

Blu-ray Disc Archive Libraries by DISC Storage are designed to integrate with any digital workflow or asset management requirements featuring:

·  On-line or near-line availability via network in a file based format.  The actual file access from optical takes an average of 6-8 seconds with robotics access, 210ms when accessing on optical media and <10ms when accessing from read cache.

·  Capacities from 2.2TB to 34.5TB and up to 14 parallel data streams, mirrored sites for redundant archive.

·  Transfer rates for read and write are currently at 9MB/s – the next technology step is the 18MB/s transfer rate which will be introduced in Q3/2008, then 36MB/s shortly thereafter.

·  Integration with all Operating Systems; WIN, MAC, Linux, Unix and Netware.  Connectivity to many applications are available including Symantec and Avid solutions.

·  Standardization – Blu-ray is an industry wide standard, media are available from a variety of manufacturers. Data is written in the standard UDF file format, which makes it compatible with any workstation Blu-ray drive (non proprietary).

·  Scalability by adding additional network shares or drive letters.  Support for large files (>50GB) is available with file spanning.

·  Compare other storage media life:
HDD failing estimated 5 years,
Tape migrated every 5 years,
Blu-ray disc has 50+ years media reliability.
