PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The RV700 family is a scaleable, reliable family of 12 inch write-once 
optical storage (WORM) products that meets user requirements for cost 
effective, large-scale automated data and image storage. The family includes 
the RVZ72 tabletop drive, with 6.55 Gbyte capacity, the RV720, a deskside, 
78 Gbyte entry level jukebox, and the RV730 data center jukebox. These 
products are qualified for use with DEC Optical Storage Desktop Software 
(OSDS, SPD 47.45.XX) and DEC Optical Storage Management Software (OSMS, SPD 
47.46.XX). 

The RV700 family of products uses ablative optical technology, which 
physically and permanently alters the recording medium. It also meets 
requirements for optical storage mandated by some governmental bodies for 
the storage of some records (e.g., records of drug tests and some legal and 
financial records).

BENEFITS

o  The large surface area of 12 inch platters can provide a performance 
   advantage in applications with a high "locality of reference" (where data 
   is physically adjacent on platter for read and write operations).

o  High media capacities allow large data stores to be built using 
   relatively few robots, lowering the cost per megabyte of a multiterabyte 
   storage subsystem when compared to other alternatives.

o  The RV700 autochangers offer best in class robotics reliability when 
   compared to other 12 inch write-once solutions, ensuring reliable 
   operation and high application availability.

o  Future RV700 family members will be compatible with the current 
   generation, protecting investments in archived information.

AVAILABILITY AND ORDERING
