Netserve and ServStation store over 500 CD-ROMs, share them up to 400% faster and let you record your own CD-ROMs.

Aug. 10, 2004—Chelmsford, MA—PrimeArray Systems, Inc. today announced the immediate availability of new series ServStation and Netserve caching CD/DVD-ROM servers with maximum storage capacities of over 500 discs and processing speeds up to 400% faster. ServStation and Netserve will also be available with an optional CD-R reader/recorder, allowing users to record their own custom CD-ROMs.

Built on PrimeArray's next generation thin server technology, Netserve and ServStation now incorporate high-speed processors, a faster system bus, greater memory expansion and full duplex 100MB fast Ethernet. These new features combine to allow users to access stored images up to 400% faster than previous models.

Additionally, by integrating ultra-high capacity hard drive storage into the Netserve and ServStation lines of CD/DVD-ROM servers, PrimeArray has produced network attach storage devices capable of caching and sharing up to 512 CD-ROM or 76 DVD-ROM images. PrimeArray's ServStation and Netserve servers cache and share both CD and DVD images with the same ease. Hard drive storage capacities of the Netserve and ServStation family of servers range from 30 to 512 CD-ROM or 4 to 76 DVD-ROM images. CD/DVD content can be stored on high-capacity hard drives and shared instantly across the network.

ServStation's standard configuration features a single direct-access reader/loader. The Netserve integrates the convenience and flexibility of any combination of up to six DVD-ROM and CD-ROM drives, facilitating the rapid storage of multiple discs. This union of direct access read/load mechanisms for CD/DVD-ROM media, and enormous hard drive imaging capability is unique in the network storage market.

PrimeArray's advanced thin server processor now supports the recording of CD-ROMs across the network. Therefore, PrimeArray is pleased to announce that both ServStation and Netserve models are available with a CD-R option. With this option, CD images stored on the PrimeArray server's image cache can be written to CD-R from any machine on the network.
