AXIS StorPoint CD E100

The AXIS StorPoint CD E100 connects CD/DVD-ROM drives, CD-R/RW writers, towers and changers to 10/100 MBit Ethernet networks. All users on the network can share the information on any disc inserted into a connected drive.

The enclosure and connectors are designed for installation into a standard 51/4” tower. An IDE version, a single and a dual SCSI port version are available. It is not possible to mix IDE disks and drives with a SCSI version, or vice versa.

The StorPoint CD is server independent, which means that no software has to be loaded on any server, and no additional software has to be installed on any client.

The StorPoint CD supports hard disk caching which means that the

inserted discs can be copied to a hard disk attached to the SCSI or IDE bus. The caching mechanism allows users to access the networked discs at hard disk speed.

The StorPoint CD supports CD-Recordable drives which means that when a CD-Recordable drive is connected to the StorPoint CD, this makes is possible to write files to CD-R/RW discs over the network.

This table lists the maximum number of drives and discs that can be managed by a single unit:
