Business/Technology Editors
NORTH KINGSTOWN, R.I.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 21, 1999--Access
Solutions International (OTC EBB:ASIC), announced today the
introduction of GIGAPAGE DASD, a scaled down version of ASI's Optical
Storage product GIGAPAGE. GIGAPAGE is a COLD storage product
successfully used by major banking, insurance, brokerage and utility
companies.
GIGAPAGE DASD stores and retrieves reports to and from DASD.
GIGAPAGE DASD offers the same user friendly, quick response, high
speed, reliable report output management as Access Solution's Optical
Storage Product at a price affordable to smaller data centers. Data
centers that already have HTML interface capability would also be able
to utilize Internet functionality as an additional benefit.
The product is upgradeable to ASI's optical archival system by
the addition of necessary optical modules and hardware.
In addition to hierarchical Cache/DASD storage and management,
GIGAPAGE DASD offers its users low CPU overhead software compression
and significant viewing features.
GIGAPAGE DASD's report viewing features include:
- Key Search-Accesses a report stored in DASD based on report
name, report date and key value. (If a complete and valid key value is
entered, the system will immediately display the exact page containing
the requested data, or a "Requested Record Not In System" message will
be displayed.)
- Partial Key Search-Displays the page at the next higher index
value from the partial key.
- Scrolling-Allows scrolling forward or backward from the
selected page, or right and left on a page that is wider than the
display screen. Line highlighting is also available to aid in
legibility for right and left scrolling.
- Custom Views-Provides the capability to use temporary or
permanent custom views of a report. Columns may be re-arranged or
eliminated, for viewing convenience or security.
- Printing-Screen print, single or multiple page print, and
report reprint, at local (CICS) or JES printers with support of AFP.
- Extract and Transfer-Report sections may be directed to a
sequential file for further processing or for retrieval by
host-attached PC's either through file transfer via 3270 link or over
LAN's. Data may be stored in sequential format on the PC for
subsequent processing or extraction via third-party software packages
for importing into spreadsheets, etc.
- Batch Environment-Batch options exist for print or inquiry.
Batch requests are submitted through an administrative screen. Pages
selected in batch mode may be directed to a system printer or they may
be assembled in a sequential data set for further processing, such as
export to a PC for spreadsheet analysis. Date range searches and
printing may be performed on a batch basis.
- Find-Multiple searches and ad-hoc, or text content, searches
are supported.
- Extended Indexing-Users may search multiple key values across
multiple reports and across multiple dates. Search criteria spans
relational (<,>,<=,>=,<>) and Boolean (AND, OR, NOT) operators.
The product is immediately available for shipment at an
introductory price below $10,000. Software maintenance and
installation services are also available.
