FEATURES & BENEFITS
ArchiveXtender
is a complete read/write archival solution that aggregates optical devices into
a virtual storage pool - which can be viewed as a single drive letter, allowing
Windows, UNIX and Macintosh clients to archive and retrieve data from the same
network location.
Storage Virtualization
ArchiveXtender creates a virtual storage pool by aggregating optical devices.
Users and applications have transparent access to data through a single drive
letter (Windows) or mount point (UNIX), regardless of the datas physical
location.
Support For Write-Once and Re-Writable
Technology
Because it is media independent, ArchiveXtender will fit
your application, regardless of whether you need write-once (CD-R, DVD-R or WORM)
or re-writable (DVD-RAM or MO) archive and access.
Standards-Based Compliance
Its superior reliability and availability provides compliance with open standards,
including complete ISO 9660 and UDF support, providing complete read/write support
and portability now and in the future.
Sophisticated
Caching Schemes
Scalable and flexible, ArchiveXtender offers a totally
configurable caching system to provide fast, uninterrupted access to data and
optimizing the performance of the system to the needs of your application.
API Toolkit
ArchiveXtender offers API toolkits to allow integrators to embed
storage technology control of data creation, replication, and/or device
management into a parent application. The API presents devices to the application
or network as a single drive letter (Windows) or mount point (UNIX).
