QStar CD/DVD Axxess

With the proliferation of CDs and DVDs in the data storage environment, the need to efficiently manage them has become greater than ever before. QStar‘s CD/DVD Axxess provides the degree of control and performance essential to provide fast access to your company information. Caching technology, minimizing mount points and providing ease of management of varying CD and DVD types makes QStar's Axxess the obvious choice to control your disk storage.

Standards Based Formats
QStar's CD/DVD Axxess supports the ISO 9660 standard together with Rock Ridge and Microsoft extensions as well as the Universal Disk Format (UDF). This ensures that long file name support and compatibility are available in a variety of operating environments.

Multi Disk Sets
By allowing multiple CDs or DVDs to be grouped together, a reduced number of mount points or drive letters are required. Within a disk set, each CD or DVD may be seen as a sub-directory, or they may be grouped within sub-directories.

Full Directory Caching
By caching the directory structures of all of the CDs and DVDs, performance is increased by eliminating the need to repeatedly access the jukebox. Directory caching of disks provides off-line data management for CDs and DVDs, which can then be removed from the jukebox.

Full Media Caching
QStar Axxess can cache an entire CD or DVD if required; meaning the disk no longer has to reside in the jukebox for the data to be available to the users. This feature may be used for individual disks or by default on all of them.

Set Management
CDs and DVDs may be added and removed from disk sets while the set is mounted. When using off-line volume management, QStar Axxess will prompt for media to be added and removed from jukeboxes as needed.
