 |
|
| G-Series |
Plasmon G-Series 5.25 inch optical libraries are the market-leading solution for professional archival storage. They feature the industry's most reliable architecture and highest data availability, and support multiple optical media to minimize the cost and frequency of media migration. Support for both
30GB UDO® (Ultra Density Optical) and 9.1GB MO (Magneto Optical) storage technologies provides a backward-compatible archive platform built for the future. G-Series libraries include state-of-the-art features like dual pickers, hot/warm swappable drives, and redundant power supplies; and are available in a broad range of configurations to fit virtually any customer requirement. Models range from 24 to 638 slots, with fully populated UDO capacities ranging from 720GB to almost
20TB.
|
|
| Powered by UDO |
G-Series libraries feature UDO drives and media. The new standard in professional optical storage, blue laser- based UDO provides dramatically greater capacity than
previous generation optical solutions, resulting in a particularly low Total Cost of Ownership. It also delivers true Write Once data integrity, using Phase Change
technology that permanently alters the media recording surface. 30GB UDO cartridges are available with both true Write Once and Rewritable media. A future roadmap
delivers larger capacities up to 120GB.
