Optical disk storage, like all forms of digital storage has a very important role in establishing and maintaining the accuracy, reliability and trustworthiness of electronic records. Due to new optical technologies and newly evolving standards the pace and number of applications is constantly increasing.

Optical storage, as used throughout the IT industry, means storing and retrieving of data by means of a laser. We all have been exposed to the most common terms, like DVD-ROM, rewritable, WORM, DVD-R, etc. Laser technology has transitioned from the original low density red laser recording methods to the high density blue laser technology (Blu-ray). As a result we are enjoying increased capacity and vastly superior performance and durability within the same form factor as previous formats, giving rise to new solutions that allows the storage and retrieval of data in ways that were not imaginable some years ago. Optical is the only form of data storage/archiving that is truly compliant.

Optical technology guarantees the longest media lifetime, best security and least risky data migration.

Virtually endless storage applications

The storage opportunities, no matter what the application, are endless. Since the technology allows data storage and retrieval without the surface of the media being touched by any device one of the classic risk factors for data storage has been eliminated. The media itself allows for easy, safe and diverse off site storage - capacity issues and traditional unreliable tape and HDD technology are no longer an issue.
