What can
you do with Diamond?
Plasmon's Diamond™ storage management software transforms Plasmon MO/DVD/CD
Libraries into cost-effective virtual hard drives, accessible via a drive-letter
and network share. Archive to rewritable media or direct write to write once
media for legal admissibility.
Diamond's web-based GUI makes
system administration easy. Diamond auto-detects and configures itself for
Plasmon Libraries, providing easy local or remote administration via its
powerful web-based GUI.
Utilize Diamond's rich API to
transparently integrate optical storage directly into your application.
Alternatively, integrate some or all components of Diamond's web GUI via HTML
frames into your existing user interface.
Plasmon simplifies the purchase,
configuration and technical support of virtual storage by integrating Diamond
software with Plasmon Libraries-creating scalable, single-vendor, storage
solutions.
Diamond storage
management software is the perfect solution for application developers, system
integrators and corporate users needing to easily and cost-effectively manage
large volumes of digital information. Diamond supports rewritable media and
archiving direct to write-once media for legal admissibility.
Application
developers and system integrators can storage-enable their applications and
solutions through Diamond's rich API, flexible web-based GUI or drive
letter/network share access. Diamond gives the developer a wide range of
flexible integration options to integrate storage directly into their
application. Example applications include: document management, records and
image archival for medical imaging/PACS, finance, banking, insurance claims
processing, call center voice recording, and email archival.
Corporate users with departmental
to enterprise storage needs benefit from Diamond's easy-to-use web-based
administration interface. It utilizes Internet technologies to enable powerful
and secure remote administration. An organization with Plasmon Diamond and a
Plamon Library in satellite office locations can easily administer the remote
sites from a central location. Users read/write to the library as a virtual-hard
disk via a drive letter or network share.
As a stand-alone product or
integrated into an overall application solution, Diamond maximizes the
high-value of your data through reliable, cost-effective management of permanent
storage.
