Corporations and e-businesses are generating enormous amounts of information from data-intensive applications such as document imaging, COLD, litigation support, and medical imaging. While access to this information is paramount, it is estimated that only 30% of files are frequently accessed.

Further, the total amount of information requiring long-term storage is typically significant. Without the ability to efficiently store and access this data, many corporations face information bottlenecks that can threaten future growth.

ArchiveXtender addresses this need by virtualizing secondary optical storage devices to provide transparency between the operating system and the physical storage solution. Clients requesting data from the virtual storage pool need not be aware of the exact physical location of the data in the repository. This technological approach enables applications to operate seamlessly with the company’s archival storage solutions.
