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.
