ultra density optical Permanent Archival Storage

UDO is the first storage technology specifically designed for professional data archive applications

Authenticity and Trustworthiness generation MO (Magneto Optical) and DVD UDO provides absolute data authenticity for regulatory technologies. The removability of UDO cartridges, compliance or for any application where archived combined with the off-line media management information must remain 100% unchanged. UDO capabilities of libraries, means uses a patented Phase Change recording process scalability is essentially unlimited. Rarely used data that permanently alters the molecular structure of true can be removed from a library, freeing up capacity yet Write Once media, ensuring data integrity at the most remaining managed and accessible. fundamental level. UDO is also available with Rewritable media for archive environments where Rapid Information Access data needs to be deleted or media capacity reused. Knowledge assets are useless if they cannot be Unlike true Write Once media, Rewritable media accessed when needed. UDO has fast 25-millisecond allows the Phase Change recording process to be random access capability, facilitating timely retrieval of reversed. Enhanced error correction algorithms and relevant data. An 8KB sector size optimizes read-ahead defect management complement UDO's read/write performance across a wide range of file Phase Change recording process to guarantee sizes. UDO realizes additional performance by unparalleled data integrity. operating at Constant Angular Velocity (CAV). During both reads and writes the media spins continuously at Long-term Data Retention the highest possible rate. In rewritable applications, UDO has been designed to provide decades of UDO features a unique direct overwrite capability, dependable data retention. A highly stable recording doubling rewrite speeds by eliminating the need for a surface, carefully engineered protective coating and dedicated erase pass. rock-solid cartridge delivers media life in excess of 50 years, minimizing the frequency of data migration and Low Total Cost of Ownership virtually eliminating media maintenance. The UDO UDO has a highly competitive archival storage TCO. drive design is robust and reduces the potential for With attractively priced 30GB media, the acquisition contamination, enabling it to withstand the rigors of cost of a UDO library compares favorably with much continuous, long-term use. less reliable tape or DVD solutions and costs a fraction of hard disk-based systems. UDO’s ISO High Capacity and Scalability standard 5.25 inch media cartridge permits the use of Rapidly growing archive data volumes demand MO and UDO media in the same library, eliminating solutions with high initial capacity and flexibility to the necessity for migration from 9.1 MO media. scale over time. technology gives 30GB Planned introductions of backward-compatible 60GB UDO more than three times the capacity of previous and 120GB UDO drives guarantee investment protection and minimize future migration expense. UDO drives and media are designed for longevity, and drives operate only when a cartridge is inserted - keeping overall maintenance and operating costs extremely low. Combined with its inherent authenticity and trustworthiness over time, outstanding capacity and scalability, and excellent random access attributes, UDO's low TCO makes it the ideal solution for professional archive applications and a key element of a comprehensive information life cycle strategy. ultra density optical Permanent Archival Storage
