AXONIX ANNOUNCES CD RECORDING CAPABILITY FOR SUPERCD
DATE: June 15, 2001
The SuperCDR™ Platinum line of cached CD/DVD Servers are now able to both share and record data onto CD discs through a 10 or 100BaseTX local area network at 9 Mega Bytes per second. In addition to sharing up to 512 CD/DVD’s over the network users can now create and record custom CD discs.
The SuperCDR Platinum has the capability to store, serve and record hundreds of CDs to as many as 255 concurrent users. The SuperCDR offer multi-functionality in one plug and play appliance including duplication of existing CD titles, creation of custom CD titles and archival of critical data over the network. The SuperCDR comes complete with all of the software needed to create, store, secure and manage an entire enterprise’s CD/DVD collection.
The SuperCDR Platinum line of caching CD/DVD servers is available in ten sizes ranging from 20 to 512 CDs or DVDs. The models are sold in either desktop or 19-inch rack mount chassis to fit any application. The ease of use and content retrieval speed compares favorably with anything on the market and SuperCDR servers are currently available at prices starting at under $2,000.
The Platinum server series will also feature as much as 256 K of RAM and a faster processor that enhances overall performance. Both the Gold series and the Platinum servers are available in either desktop or rack mountable chassis but the CD-R capability is only available with the Platinum series.
If a user does not require the high performance or recording capabilities of the SuperCDR Platinum, a SuperCD Gold is offered with a throughput of 2 Mega Bytes per second and a CD/DVD drive instead of a CDR drive. \
Both Platinum and Gold server models will serve CD content to up to 255 concurrent users. The SuperCDR Gold servers will store and serve up to 135 CDs or DVDs while the SuperCDR Platinum models will store and serve a maximum of 512 CD or DVD images
The standalone SuperCD server product line is a breakthrough in Network Attached Storage. The SuperCD server provides access to both CDs and DVDs and delivers the information to a desktop computer regardless if it runs on Windows 9.X/NT/2K, Mac, Novell or Unix/Linux network and computer operating systems. The network-ready SuperCD server runs over both 10 or 100 Mbs Ethernet networks while relieving the network server of managing voluminous CD server traffic.
The SuperCD obsoletes old, slow CD-ROM towers by mirroring each CD’s content onto a fast, mass hard disk drive using its Turbocaching ™ technology. Now virtual CDs can operate at the same super fast speeds of desktop computers and enhance the productivity of both small and large institutions and firms. Using the network browser or clicking on an icon, users can effortlessly setup and share applications, access databases browse reference encyclopedias, as well as run popular edutainment CDs.
The SuperCD is easy to use and manage as evidenced by the thousands of units installed in public, college and law libraries, school computer labs, state legislatures, and federal agencies. Axonix Corporation pioneered hard drive caching of networked CD images with the world’s first “ProLinQ” CD Caching server in 1995. Axonix Corporation has been manufacturing productivity-enhancing products for personal computer users since 1983.
