Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on :DCSR DCSR Defense Supply Center Richmond (Richmond, VA) DCSR Digital Crime Scene Reconstruction DCSR Display and Control/Storage and Retrieval DCSR Deputy Chief of Staff for Recruiting ), an industry leader in high-capacity automated 5.25-inch magneto-optical and CD-ROM/R disk storage libraries introduced its Orion series of automated optical storage systems during the AIIM (Association for Information and Image Management International, Silver Spring, MD, www.aiim.org) A membership organization founded in 1943 devoted to creating industry standards and disseminating information about the document management industry. show this week in booth #1262. The Orion series features increased drive and media capacity, a state-of-the-art control system, an advanced distributed power source, built in diagnostics for all control modules, optional redundant power supply, enhanced field service capability and a intuitive user interface. "In response to the market's demand for faster, more reliable, expanded storage Additional memory in IBM mainframes that is not normally addressable by applications. Introduced for the 3090 series, the data are usually transferred in 4K pages from expanded storage to central storage (main memory). See hiperspace. products, DISC has redesigned its optical library systems to create the Orion series. The increased performance and reliability DISC offers in the Orion series sets the standard in the mission critical applications where DISC's high capacity products are employed today," stated Ron Reynolds Ronald Sidney Maurice Reynolds was a goalkeeper whose career spanned nearly 20 years; he played 290 League games for 3 professional clubs, and for most of the 1950s played for Tottenham Hotspur, alongside his friend and tactical confidant, Danny Blanchflower. , Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing. DISC's Orion series has been designed to provide the reliability, performance and capacity needed for mission critical storage applications. Orion series libraries can now hold up to 32 5.2GB optical drives, all of which can be accessed simultaneously. Additionally, the performance of DISC's libraries has improved, yielding a new disk exchange time of between 3 and 6 seconds. All Orion series models are designed for capacity and/or drive upgrading in the field to meet the flexible needs of our customers. The heart of the Orion systems is an internal network based on a distributed architecture using an industrial control network. This revolutionary new architecture provides an even more reliable library by reducing connections, long wire runs and noise susceptibility. Orion series libraries use 48-volt power distribution throughout the library with hot pluggable See hot swap. bulk power modules. The power system allows customers the option of adding additional power supply modules for backup. The auto-sensing power supply is supported worldwide. A new user interface panel utilizes a menu-driven format with a four-line liquid crystal display liquid crystal display (LCD) Optoelectronic device used in displays for watches, calculators, notebook computers, and other electronic devices. Current passed through specific portions of the liquid crystal solution causes the crystals to align, blocking the passage of light. and a 6 key input pad. Each unit has on-board diagnostics On-Board Diagnostics, or OBD, in an automotive context, is a generic term referring to a vehicle's self-diagnostic and reporting capability. OBD systems give the vehicle owner or a repair technician access to state of health information for various vehicle sub-systems. that enhance field service capabilities and allows for increased reliability. A three level password security scheme is included for extra protection. Price and Availability The Orion series libraries are now available through DISC's worldwide sales channels, including OEMs, system integrators, VARs and distributors. Prices vary depending on the model and media capacity. About DISC DISC is the industry leader in high-capacity automated 5.25-inch magneto-optical and CD optical disk storage libraries. DISC manufactures products ranging in capacity from 150 to over 1,450 cartridges in several models, many of which are field upgradable to higher capacities. All models share a common architecture and modular design In the context of systems engineering, modular design — or "modularity in design" — is an approach aiming to subdivide a system into smaller parts (modules) that can be independently created and then used in different systems to drive multiple functionalities. oriented toward high-performance and reliability. DISC's libraries are sold worldwide with systems solutions by OEMs, system integrators, VARs and distributors.
