What can you do with Diamond?
Plasmon's Diamond™ storage management software transforms Plasmon D-Series
DVD/CD Libraries into a cost-effective virtual hard drive, accessible via a
drive-letter and network share. 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.
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 D-Series
library in remote 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 Connects You to your Digital World.
