Incorporating their many years of experience in optical storage and file systems, PoINT Software
has developed VJB, Virtual Jukebox File System technology.
Using proven technologies and reliable standards, data can
be written with compliant Write Once attributes on to our MDI
EXPRESS STOR Network Attached Server/RAID (NAS) system. All
data volumes remain accessible from the NAS via a secure read
only file system and may not be altered or destroyed. An integrated
DVD-R drive provides data redundancy for off sight storage
and disaster recovery. The system includes all hardware and
software and is fully integrated and tested to provide an ideal
archival storage solution for applications and environments
requiring a highly accessible write once storage system using
RAID storage.
Jukebox
Features, RAID Reliability
MDI VJB750GB Virtual Jukebox Appliance provides an ideal archival storage
solution for applications and environments requiring a highly accessible Write
Once storage system. VJB750GB provides all of the features and advantages of
a standard optical jukebox storage system, without the need for costly robotic
mechanisms and media. VJB750GB incorporates PoINT VJB Software with Dynamic
Image Recording which provides a unique method of writing Data Volumes to industry
standard UDF (Universal Disc Format) DVD image files using the integrated 750GB
RAID-5 storage. These DVD image files are represented by the Virtual File system
as standard Windows folders.
Transparent
Access for ANY Application
Data Volume sets are represented as standard network shares which remain accessible
from RAID via a secure read only file system and may not be altered or destroyed.
Transparent, Write-Once Read Many (WORM) access is provided for any application
or client without the need for API interface, client software or alteration
of workflow. The Windows mechanisms for sharing and security apply to the Virtual
Jukebox File system shares as well.
Compliance,
Redundancy, and Disaster Recovery
MDI VJB750GB is cost-effective data storage and management appliance designed
to address growing regulatory compliance requirements. Data Volumes written
to the RAID system can be mirrored to actual DVD media sets using the integrated
DVD-R drive in order to provide redundancy, off sight storage and disaster
recovery. An Off Line database provides complete file system details of all
off line media, allowing recovery of individual files and restoration of complete
Data Volumes.
Complete
File System Management
MDI VJB750GB offers complete control and management of the file system.
An Administration console works transparently with the Windows file system
to allow Data Volumes to be managed and shared. Volumes dynamically increase
in capacity as needed, and may also be restricted in size if required.
Sophisticated
Caching and Migration
A multi level caching mechanism allows files to be transparently migrated from
Rewriteable to Write Once volumes based upon conditions such as data age, volume
size, or when last modified. An “Attribute Based” utility allows migration
to the WORM volume based upon change of file attributes using the standard
Windows file system.
Fully Configured and Tested
MDI VJB750GB is a complete solution and includes all hardware and software.
It is fully configured and ready to connect to your network as a compliant
write once storage device. Setup is fast and easy. Browser based Administrative
tools provide menu driven access to all functions.
Low Cost and Expandable
MDI VJB750GB provides 750GB of Write once storage as a
complete NAS solution for under $10/GB (MSRP) and includes
a DVD-R recorder drive for producing redundant DVD media
sets. Additional managed capacity can be purchased to allow
up to 10TB of WORM storage on a single appliance.
