Aloha Jesse,
Thank you for your quick response...Obviously, the optical storage
landscape is changing daily and its going to take some careful analysis
to determine which storage devices to migrate to.
Interesting to hear about the CAS movement to standardize...Let's hope
that comes to fruition. Mahalo!

Hi Brian,
My quick responses as follow:
- Optical jukeboxes are not quite obsolete - yet. I'd argue, however,
that the older MO- and WORM drive-based jukeboxes are on the way out, to
be replaced by blue-laser-based storage like Plasmon's Ultra Dense
Optical
(UDO) and eventually HD-DVD and BluRay Disc (BRD). CD, too, is on the
slide, because of the massive amounts of information to be stored, but
DVD still has a few years left in it.
- While the EMC Centera is the most well known content addressable
storage system, and has been accredited by the SEC as meeting its WORM
requirements, there are similar technologies from a number of vendors
including Network Appliance's SnapLock. The challenge you face with
those is that today they still use proprietary algorithms and storage
approaches. There is a nascent movement to standardize data access
between CAS systems - you can find some additional information at
http://www.cascommunity.org - but we ain't there yet.
Cheers,

Subject: [RM] Optical Storage Devices
Aloha All,
I've heard that HP is no longer distributing/selling their Surestore
series of optical jukeboxes...
I'm wondering whether optical jukeboxes are becoming obsolete as media
storage devices...If so, what are the logical replacements which meet
WORM considerations. Is Centera the only potential solution/replacement
storage media that meets WORM requirements?
Migration, Purging and destruction considerations for imaged documents
are also a major consideration in storage devices...
I'd be interested to hear if any of you are looking at migrating imaged
documents from Optical Jukeboxes and if so, to what???
Mahalo!
