SmartStor Archive v. 3.0 Provides Media Independent, Near-Line Storage

ANDOVER, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 28, 1999--Smart Storage Inc., a leading provider of near-line storage and CD duplication software, today announced the release of SmartStor Archive v. 3.0, its latest version of network storage software for Windows NT environments. With SmartStor Archive v. 3.0, Smart Storage adds supports for DVD-RAM and MO storage devices to provide a media-independent, near-line storage solution. SmartStor Archive v. 3.0 now manages a wide range of optical jukeboxes and drives that support read-only, write-once, and re-writable optical media, including CD-ROM, CD-R, DVD-ROM, DVD-R, DVD-RAM, WORM, and MO.

"By supporting higher capacity DVD-RAM and MO storage devices, we're able to market our SmartStor Archive software to organizations that require the additional capacity," said Gary Brach, president of Smart Storage. "In addition, we've made the whole CD/DVD storage process easier for administrators looking to immediately address their needs for secondary storage and information archiving."

SmartStor Archive also supports multiple industry standard file formats (ISO 9660, Joliet, Rockridge, Apple HFS, UDF, and NTFS) for optical media to provide universal accessibility.

SmartStor Archive v. 3.0 provides all the functionality required for high-performance storage and retrieval solutions:

  • Hundreds of users across the network can concurrently archive and access data from the SmartStor file system.
  • Transparent, single-drive-letter read/write support for CD-ROM, CD-R, DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, MO, and WORM.
  • Sophisticated caching schemes to provide maximum performance.
  • Easy-to-use graphical user interface (GUI) for Windows NT.
  • Scalable solutions to meet customers' diverse and growing storage needs.
