The smartDAX Technology is strongly entrenched in our archive storage management software. DAX Archiving Software offers a user-friendly software interface and it allows network administrators to centrally manage their archival storage applications.
It works with the eXtended File Systems (XFS) technology which groups any number of BD/DVD media together to visualize them as one virtual archive. Users see the created digital archive simply as another shared file system (e.g. F:\), from which they read and write files to as usual. |

Files are always visible in the directory cache of the virtual archive (F:/) but can reside on hard disk, on Blu-ray Disc (BD)/DVD or on both. When a file is placed into the archive, our software will check it's presence in the (hard disk) file cache. If it's a new file, it will be written to the file cache and later burned to BD/DVD media.
Burning to disc depends on the configurable high and low water marks in the cache. When the cache reaches the high water mark, it will automatically purge the least used files first to make room for more new files to come into the system. The files then, depending on how often they are accessed, may be in the hard drive cache for immediate retrieval. If the requested files are no longer in the hard drive cache, they will be fetched automatically by the robot in the case of a BD/DVD jukebox. |
