"All the disk based solutions out there cost an arm and leg to maintain when you add power and cooling, space, weight, failure rate, among other factors. The blu ray based optical libraries not only saves you over 85% on your power and cooling costs, but also archival management" continued Alani Kuye.
"There are billions of dollars in archives that need to be discovered. The reason for archiving should also include monetization of archived information when permissible. After all it's a profit center. We're giving the raw capacity and unheard of performance."
Optical jukeboxes have been a niche market for a while but with storage costs soaring, organizations are starting to take archiving and optical storage very seriously. Tape was consistently being used but speeds, deacytilation, performance and the need to constantly migrate have long haunted the platform. With Plasmon and it's UDO platform now defunct, and Overland in deep waters with their Tape platform, optical storage has been making steady gains in the storage and archiving market.
For Plasmon Archive Appliance customers or customers wishing to migrate their data to newer storage technology, Phantom Data Systems will provide a tool, which will seamlessly migrate data from your current system to the new Blu ray archive.
