Introduction
AXIS StorPoint CD E100
The AXIS StorPoint CD E100 connects CD/DVD
drives, towers and changers to 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 CD/DVD tower.
An IDE version, a single and dual SCSI port
version are available. It is not possible to mix IDE
with SCSI versions.
The StorPoint CD is server independent, which
means that no software must 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 bus or the IDE bus. The caching mechanism allows users to access
networked CD/DVDs at hard disk speed and to access cached volumes even if the original discs are
ejected from the drives.
The StorPoint CD supports CD-Recordable drives which means that when a CD-Recordable drive
is connected to the StorPoint CD, it is possible to format and finalize CD-R and CD-RW discs
from the StorPoint CD Web interface.
AXIS StorPoint CD E100 Basic
The AXIS StorPoint CD E100 Basic does not support hard disk caching or writing to recordable
