Plasmon Archival Solutions

DVD Libraries

Plasmon DVD Midrange Optical Libraries are cost-effective solutions for value-oriented archival environments. Robust and built to withstand high-volume use, these libraries are well-suited for environments that need centralized access to The midrange D-Series Plasmon automated libraries are available in three different models, with from 80 to 480 slots, which allows scaling from 564 GB to 20 TB.

These DVD automated libraries come standard with Multi Drives, which provide optimum flexibility and performance, allowing reading and writing of DVD-RAM, DVD-R, DVD-RW, CD-R, and CD-RW media. Up to six Multi Drives can be supported in a single library. These Multi Drives offer WORM (Write Once, Read Many) data protection, and an optional Rotation Station™, for double-sided media.

Model	D120	D240	D480
Number of Slots	80-120	200-240	440-480
Max Number of Drives	4	6	6
Capacity	564GB - 1.12TB	1.13TB - 2.25TB	2.25TB - 4.51 TB

The robotics feature a MBTF (Mean Time Between Failure) of 2,500,000 hours, and in addition to the optional Rotation Station™, they feature dual pickers for maximum performance and increased reliability. The robotics auto-calibrate for optimal alignment, and less downtime after repairs. Featured also are mail slots for import/export, for fast media interchanges, and tray-based media for dense capacity into a small footprint.

Connectivity options include an auto-sensing LVD SCSI interface to support easy configurations and longer cable lengths. Plasmon’s midrange DVD libraries also include multiple bus configuration for flexible connectivity options. These libraries are supported by over 20 different storage management software packages on thirteen different operating systems. All Plasmon optical archival solutions are also ISO-9001 certified.
