CDAS
(Compact Disc AutoServ)


CDAS is a CD-ROM File Cataloging and Retrieval software product that provides a common interface to over 1TB (Terabyte) of CD-ROM data stored in CD-ROM jukeboxes, CD-ROM towers and magnetic caching disks or disk arrays. CDAS running on a Unix server allows transparent access for DOS, Windows, Netware, OS/2, DEC VMS, MacOS and Unix clients.

CDAS Components

The CDAS system consists of a 3-tier hybrid arrangement of CD-ROM jukeboxes, CD-ROM arrays and magnetic caching disk arrays, with a Unix server running the CDAS File Cataloging and Retrieval software. CDAS software is customer configurable and supports commercially available SCSI CD-ROM drives and CD-ROM jukeboxes. A system may be started with as little as one CD-ROM tower, and grow to multiple towers and CD-ROM jukeboxes as the need arises, without having to replace your client or system software or retrain your users.
