By combining CD/DVD storage with NAS, you are centralizing like data and simplifying administration and support as opposed to separate systems. It can be very efficient to share the same storage space for both types of data -- for example, in the case where data is stored on the NetServ and periodically burned off to CD or DVD and then reloaded as a disc image. The storage load doesn¹t change much, but the form switches from data to disc image.

Some organizations want to have a dedicated system for CD/DVD based data and don¹t want to "muddy the waters" by combining multiple applications or types of data together. For these situations, the ServStation products are the ideal solution.
