Siegen. PoINT Software & Systems GmbH presents their latest storage solutions for efficient archival on optical media on occasion of the DMS EXPO. The Storage specialist will present its Jukebox Manager – a software solution for safe archival of business critical data – on the booth of the storage distributor INCOM Storage GmbH (Booth A070). Only recently, the software has been accredited by DocuWare AG and it meets the high expectations as regards latest archive systems (e.g. mirroring and server clustering). Moreover, PoINT will present PoINT Archiver on the INCOM booth. This software solution is used for automated, secure and cost efficient archival of business critical documents. Both, PoINT Archiver and PoINT Publisher, will be showcased at the booth of Primera Europe (Booth A069/B068) – a leading producer of CD/DVD/BD-production systems and special printers. PoINT Publisher supports companies during the automated production of individually designed CDs and DVDs, respectively.
The DMS EXPO will take place for the first time on the Cologne Fair ground from September 19th to 21st.
PoINT Jukebox Manager 5.0 Allows Secure Data Archival – Manipulation Impossible
Enterprises will be able to archive their files fast and safely with PoINT Jukebox Manager. In this process, files will be stored on WORM-media. This way, the data cannot be changed physically and thus manipulation is impossible. Optional mirroring creates jukebox manager media with same contents, which can be stored in two different locations in two different jukebox systems, if requested. For example, the jukeboxes can be positioned in two separated fire protection areas, which increases the level of data security even more. Additionally, data will remain on hard disk as long as the optical media has been written completely and flawlessly. The individual archive application will access the data over the file system as usually. Jukebox Manager supports various technologies and media, among them CD, DVD, Magnetical Optical Disc (MO), Professional Disc for Data (PDD), Ultra Density Optical (UDO) as well as Blu-Ray Discs (BD). PoINT Jukebox Manager will be presented at the booth of INCOM Storage GmbH (Booth A070).
Secure Archival Using Standard Hardware
PoINT Archiver is a software solution which monitors any network directory according to a rule defined by the user (e.g. periodically) and which stores the data on optical media. The software archives files fully automatically, retrieves same, provides for their authentication and controls data integrity and safety. PoINT Archiver supports optical media (CD, DVD and Blu-Ray Discs) and uses either Universal Disk Format (UDF) or PoINT Secure File System as file system. PoINT Archiver is exhibited at the booths of Primera Europe (Booth A069/B068) and INCOM Storage (Booth A070).
PoINT Publisher Optimizes Disc Production
For companies interested in the possibility of professional CD/DVD production, PoINT presents its PoINT Publisher with its modular concept. The software is able to control multiple recorders and one autoloader for media change in a fully automatic production environment. This enables “On-demand Publishing”, which mostly produces individually created discs on demand out of already existing data. PoINT Publisher will is exhibited at the Primera Booth (A069/B068).
