Another, April 19, 1999 09:47 New Ampex DST Library Extensions Provide Unlimited Storage of Video, Image or Data Files Jump to first matched term LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April l9, 1999--Ampex Data Systems Corporation (Amex:AXC), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ampex Corporation, today announced still another technology advancement geared to maximizing video, image and data storage capacity without compromising the unparalleled performance, speed and reliability of the DST library systems. The new Ampex library extensions connect to DST 712 automated cartridge libraries, forming multiple-cluster configurations with virtually unlimited storage potential. A cost-efficient upgrade path to the Ampex DST 712 automated cartridge library, the new extensions address future storage requirements and eliminate the pressure on existing systems. Growing companies are faced with the challenge of archiving increasing numbers of video and image files, and the new Ampex DST library extension allows current DST 712 library owners to enhance their investment by maximizing their existing libraries. The DST extensions, which are available with or without tape drives, attach to an Ampex DST 712 library using a newly developed robotic transfer system which expands the system's storage capacity while keeping the footprint to a minimum. Multiple DST library extensions can be added to a DST 712 using the new short and long transfer rail configurations without jeopardizing archiving and retrieval speeds. New customers seeking a massive yet expandable digital storage system will be attracted to the Ampex DST 712 with extension libraries for this virtually limitless storage capacity. The Ampex DST extension libraries are available in short and long-rail models. The short rail configures up to three library units, and the long rail expands up to four units. Multiple clusters of Ampex DST libraries and extensions can be configured for nearly unlimited storage. "Ampex continues to introduce technologies that outperform its competition in performance, speed, reliability and overall capacity," says John Hennessy, director of business development for Ampex. "The DST library extension gives our customers a reliable and easy means to accommodate a company's endless storage of video, image and data files without obsoleting their initial DST library investment." Ampex DST Product Line Ampex DST digital archive systems are ideal for a variety of data-intensive applications. These applications include archive and retrieval of video and images in the broadcast and post-production environments, data warehousing, backup and restore of very large databases (VLDB), hierarchical storage management (HSM), or network file systems and high bandwidth data acquisition. The company's innovative technology reduces the cost of storage to pennies per megabyte, simplifies media management and lowers overhead by reducing the need to track and house large numbers of cartridges. The storage density increase also improves file access time, as well as backup and restore speeds, by minimizing cartridge exchanges.
