Blueridge unveils the first dual-storage COLD System.FLINT HILL Flint Hill can refer to:
Optix COLD is the first COLD system that allows you to archive your mainframe documents in either ASCII ASCII or American Standard Code for Information Interchange, a set of codes used to represent letters, numbers, a few symbols, and control characters. Originally designed for teletype operations, it has found wide application in computers. or image form. Both formats have their advantages. ASCII documents require less storage space, but require a proprietary viewer so that the stored ASCII files can be formatted properly for viewing. Images require more storage, but can be read in any Group IV TIFF viewer, distributed across a network, and archived in any document management system, not just the system that created them. According to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. Craig Landrum, President of Blueridge Technologies and Chief Engineer for Optix, "Storing ASCII offers unique benefits. So does storing images. Other systems force you to choose between the two, but IS managers need both. Optix COLD is the first software that gives them both." Optix COLD is a scalable client/server system built around industry standard SQL SQL in full Structured Query Language. Computer programming language used for retrieving records or parts of records in databases and performing various calculations before displaying the results. databases like Oracle, Sybase, and Informix and running on popular UNIX servers like Sun SPARC (Scalable Performance ARChitecture) A family of RISC CPUs from Sun that runs mostly under Sun's Solaris, but also under Linux and BSD operating systems. After development began in the mid-1980s by David Patterson of the University of California at Berkeley and Bill , IBM (International Business Machines Corporation, Armonk, NY, www.ibm.com) The world's largest computer company. IBM's product lines include the S/390 mainframes (zSeries), AS/400 midrange business systems (iSeries), RS/6000 workstations and servers (pSeries), Intel-based servers (xSeries) RS/6000, and DEC Alpha See Alpha. (processor) DEC Alpha - A RISC microprocessor from DEC. In November 1995, the Alpha was purportedly the fastest non-research chip used in commonly available workstations. It is superpipelined and superscalar. . Optix COLD is a fully integrated member of the award-winning family of Optix document management products, including workflow, document imaging, and text retrieval. Benefits of Optix COLD include: 1. Optix COLD allows you to easily move mountains of mainframe documents off your expensive mainframe storage, and onto inexpensive, long term optical storage--yet still allows your authorized users to have instantaneous on-line access to those files. 2. Optix COLD allows you to choose how you store your mainframe computer-output--as ASCII files or as industry-standard TIFF images of the original documents. You can even do both. 3. Optix COLD automatically indexes your documents based on the information contained in the documents themselves. You simply tell Optix what data you want to use for indexing, and the software does the rest. 4. Exclusive Optix FilterText(TM) technology allows you to handle a wide variety of EBCDIC (Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code) Pronounced "eb-suh-dick." The binary code for text as well as communications and printer control from IBM. or ASCII records, including those with variable line and page delimiters, fixed line and page lengths, encoded IBM vertical forms control information, and non-printable characters. 5. Your archived files may be viewed against any kind of background you desire, including blank backgrounds, scanned images of blank forms, as well as any other kinds of raster images. 6. Optix COLD supports optical jukeboxes of almost unlimited capacity, from hundreds of gigabytes to terabytes. 7. Optix COLD allows you to retrieve any document in a matter of seconds using the indexes the system automatically creates. Founded in 1988, Blueridge Technologies is one of the industry's oldest and most respected providers of electronic document management systems (EDMS (Electronic Document Management System or Enterprise Document Management System ) See document management. EDMS - Electronic Document Management System ). Long the leading supplier of industrial-strength document imaging and workflow systems for Apple Macintosh computers, in 1994 Optix became the first electronic document management system to offer workflow, document imaging, archival/retrieval, and natural language text retrieval for both Windows and Macintosh workstations. Now, Optix COLD is the newest member of Blueridge's family of cross-platform applications. Optix COLD will be available in 1Q96. Optix systems begin in the range of $100,000 and include server software, client software for both Macintosh and Windows, installation, training, and support.
