NSM Series

DISC ships first Blu-ray library
DISC have started shipping the first Blu-ray optical libraries and Fortuna have installed the first units in the UK. The new Blu-ray libraries represent an alternative for long term archiving against tape and UDO. With a 50GB capacity moving to 200GB over the next 2 years, Blu-ray appears to be the new long term archive technology.
DISC C Series
Are you looking for a high capacity optical library storage solution that can hold from 100-1000+ discs? We specialise in providing enterprise class storage solutions for organisations.
Data Archiving
Are you looking at long term archiving systems for file, e-mail, video or CCTV? If so we specialise in providing systems encompassing disk, tape and optical storage using storage management software that manages the migration of data within the tiered storage solution.

NSM CD DVD libraries

CD library solutions are ideal for storage of CD manuals. DVD-ROM library systems are an affordable solution for network access to large volumes of DVD-ROM discs. DVD-R library systems are the perfect solution for Data Compliance applications, whereby information need s to be retained for long periods.

Starting with a simple modular design the DISC Optical libraries allow you to scale from a single drive to 14 drives and 700 media slots.

NSM Series DVD libraries

The Disc GmbH range of DVD libraries are ideal for data compliance, data archiving, email archiving, image archiving etc. All the NSM series libraries can support a large variety of optical technologies including:

CD / DVD library solutions are ideal for storage of document imaging products. DVD library systems are an affordable solution for network access to large volumes of DVD-ROM discs. DVD-R library systems are the perfect solution for Data Compliance applications, whereby information need s to be retained for long periods. DVD-RAM libraries provide read/write access to information that is frequently updated.

Starting with a simple modular design the NSM series libraries allow you to scale from a single drive to 14 drives and 700 media slots.

Modular CD & DVD library

NSM modular CD and DVD Storage Libraries are Next-Generation Libraries that can adapt to companies growing and changing storage requirements. The modular design concept gives users the flexibility to configure each library to meet the specific requirements of their application, and ensures that future technologies can be incorporated easily.

The NSM Series libraries are offered in seven different models and uses three drive technologies to create numerous configuration options for reliable, NearLine storage up to 6.48 TBs. DISC's modular design concept gives users the flexibility to configure each library to meet the specific requirements of their application, and ensures that future technologies can be easily incorporated. Reliability is the hallmark of the NSM Series. No other data storage system can provide the combination of capacity, security and flexibility.

Introducing the NSM3000U, NSM40000U & NSM7000U Upgrade models

The NSM3000U, NSM4000U & NSM7000U models are next-generation CD & DVD library that can adapt to changing storage requirements. Upgrade models come with the same features and functionality as the rest of the NSM Series libraries including intelligent Pack Technology, for offline data management, and optional Capacity Doubler for double-sided media. NSM Series upgrade models allow users to scale their storage capacity up to four times within the same chassis.

Rackmount Option for Securing Your NearLine Storage Device

NSM Series models are now offered with a rackmount option which can be installed in standard 19-inch computer racks and cabinets. Available for new sales, and upgrades for existing installations, the rackmount kit includes a secure mounting platform fitted to rolling guides which allows for quick and easy service access to the sides and rear of the device. The complete kit mounts flush at the edges of the rack and includes slide locks for security.

NSM3000 provides a midrange capacity, high performance storage solution in a smaller form factor. Up to 2.6 terabytes of data can be stored and quickly accessed. Up to 6 drives can be installed, and DISC Intelligent Pack Technology allows unlimited off-line storage.

The NSM4000 offers the same features and performance as the NSM7000 but with fewer slots and drives. Up to 7 drives and 415 media make the NSM4000 an ideal solution for high capacity data storage.

The NSM7000 delivers fast access to over 6TB of data. Up to 14 drives can be installed to provide high performance multi-user access to data. The NSM7000 offers DISC's highest capacity in a small footprint

* The NSM-U Series models allow users to increase storage capacity using the existing chassis. Modular design architecture allows for scaleable drive and media slot counts.
