iXOS Software today announced that its advanced jukebox management software, iXOS-JUKEMAN, has earned the Doculabs Certified Performance Seal.

"iXOS-JUKEMAN demonstrates exceptionally high throughput speeds in high availability Also called "RAS" (reliability, availability, serviceability) or "fault resilient," it refers to a multiprocessing system that can quickly recover from a failure. There may be a minute or two of downtime while one system switches over to another, but processing will continue.  network environments with increasing concurrent end user load," said Richard Medina, Doculabs' Senior Systems Engineer.

 systems."

Doculabs tested the performance of iXOS-JUKEMAN in two different areas which simulated typical imaging application scenarios. First, Doculabs measured data transfer speed under a number of multi-user conditions. Second, Doculabs tested the performance of the directory cache initialization speed, or how fast the system builds the "table of contents" that tracks directories, files, and CDs as they are added.

"Doculabs has maintained an excellent reputation as independent experts in all aspects of the Electronic Document Management industry. Their knowledge and experience are unparalleled in the industry," said Lynn Hogg, iXOS's Director of Sales and Marketing. "Doculabs has given us vital information and feedback on our software that we, frankly, could never have gotten on our own."

"Aside from performance, our testing showed that iXOS-JUKEMAN is an attractive offering for many other reasons," said Gaddiel Torres, Doculabs' Technical Manager. "iXOS-JUKEMAN is the only currently available, performance-oriented, Windows NT solution for both reading and writing, and it supports incremental CD writing in the jukebox. It also dynamically load-balances across multiple jukeboxes for maximum performance and redundancy," said Torres. "And the system is extremely easy to install and configure -- our installation took less than ten minutes."

iXOS-JUKEMAN minimizes robotics movements by tightly integrating with thell drives simultaneously at maximum sustained transfer rates. And it has an optimized caching architecture, which maximizes data throughput and minimizes seek-time.

"We were very impressed with iXOS-JUKEMAN's initialization sariables tested. Doculabs' test environment included:
