This tower offers six 4X CD readers with onboard 1 Mb caching.This tower looks like a single SCSI target to your server. This deviceincludes CDAS Lite(TM) which will allow our full CD ROM indexing,providing a complete directory structure of all your CDs. ALM cache,included in CDAS and CDAS Lite keeps your most frequently used files warmat all times, with or without the CD loaded in the tower.ALM Cache"We take the JukeBox out of the JukeBox"SSI has answered the question of many users can be using the JukeBox atone time. We have a powerful caching algorithm, ALM, which will load arequested file into cache. The user then uses the information over thenetwork at network speed. Meanwhile, the JukeBox has unloaded the CD andopened that reader to the network. Subsequent users can use that filefrom cache or use the same CD again for a different file. In a tower,the problem remains of multiple users on the same CD at one time. Eventhough the JukeBox has four readers, in our lab we have had over 30simultaneous users using CD information at one time, showing the power ofcache.
