Data archiving firm Plasmon of Englewood, CO, introduced a new version of its Ultra Density Optical (UDO) storage media with additional archiving capacity at last week's Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine (SIIM) meeting in Providence, RI.
The company's new UDO2 media have a 60-GB capacity, compared with 30 GB available on the previous UDO media. The new media is backward-compatible with older UDO systems by simply swapping out the old drives, rather than requiring a completely new platform to be installed, according to the company. The UDO product line is sold in libraries of multiple disks, with total storage capacity ranging from 1 TB to 38 TB.
In its SIIM booth, Plasmon also touted its new Archive Appliance Express, a new version of the UDO platform in a nonlibrary version with just a pair of drives rather than a library of disks. The new offering is designed to offer low-cost storage to imaging centers and other small facilities. Archive Appliance Express began shipping in May.
