Westerstede, Germany, April 2007 - Since now DSM Handhabungssysteme GmbH & Co. KG offers its 5 1/4" jukeboxes with the new UDO drive generation. The capacity on one media has been doubled to 60 GB. The communication between the server, drives and the jukebox is still running via LVD-SCSI-interface or optionally via Fibre-Channel-interface.

Das Umrüsten von UDO1- auf UDO2- Laufwerken in bereits vorhanden Jukebox-installationen ist problemlos möglich. Die Laufwerke sind abwärts kompatibel, so das UDO1 Medien mit UDO2 Laufwerken gelesen werden können.

Die Performance hat sich im Gegensatz zu der ersten Laufwerksgeneration um ca. 50 Prozent gesteigert. Die mittlere Zugriffszeit beträgt 35 ms. Dei Maximale Übertragungsrate beträgt 12 MB/s (Lesen) und 6 MB/s (Schreiben mit Verify).

Longmont, CO and Westerstede, GERMANY, 03. January 2007 - InPhase Technologies, the world’s leader in holographic data storage, today announced that it has signed an automation original equipment manufacturer (OEM) agreement with , a leading worldwide developer of jukebox storage systems for major enterprise customers. The agreement will enable the delivery of the first holographic archival systems, using InPhase’s patented Tapestry™ 300R holographic drives, for customers in the broadcast, government, medical, and I.T. markets.

InPhase has already delivered the first commercial holographic storage drive, and will provide volume shipments of both the Tapestry 300R drive, and holographic media, in 2007. customers include Deutsche Bank, ESA, Siemens Medical and Volkswagen, among many others. The Tapestry 300R drive will store 300 gigabytes (GB) of information on a single 5 ¼-inch disc, at a transfer rate of 20 megabytes per second (MB/s), or 160 megabits per second (Mb/s) and, together with ’s optical jukebox systems, will provide the highest-capacity optical storage solution on the market.

“Holographic storage is now, finally, a reality for customers. It provides the highcapacity, high-density solutions for secure, long-life storage that leading companies are seeking,” said Art Rancis, vice president of sales for InPhase Technologies. “Together with ’s expertise in optical jukebox systems, our holographic archival solutions can offer today’s $10 billion corporate archive storage market unprecedented value for enterprises that are straining to keep up with ever-increasing data storage demands.”

“We are the only European company able to implement these holographic units into large libraries and, together with InPhase, we can address a corporate enterprise storage market that requires very high-capacity, petabyte-sized, storage. We are one of the very few jukebox providers that can provide this,” said Immo Gathmann, director of sales for .
“We can address new markets that have yet to move beyond tape backup for critical data archive applications and we can also offer new ways of looking at partitioning RAID systems for this initial product which, at 300 GB, is very attractive for both near-line and deep archive asset retrieval functions.”
