Product Information
HP optical jukeboxes provide immediate access to large volumes of information that is traditionally stored on paper or microfiche.

Optical jukebox storage allows significantly faster and more efficient data retrieval than off-line systems, making information available online to multiple users at a low cost-per-megabyte. Optical jukeboxes eliminate the barriers to off-line information, so large amounts of historical data can be managed and retrieved in seconds. Valuable documents are no longer lost, mis-filed, or damaged.
 
 
Features and Benefits
HP's improved jukebox design gives our customers what they are asking for:

              Increased Capacity

                   Double the read/write performance with 2.6-Gbyte disks, and up to 4 drives.

              Superb Performance

                   Up to 4 independent drives means fewer disk swaps and more data under the head. Online drive replacement allows a drive to be
                   replaced while the other drives continue to read and write data, greatly reducing jukebox downtime.

              Choice in Numbers of Drives and Optical Disks

                       80fx:   83.2GB, 32 disks, 2 drives
                     160fx: 166.4GB, 64 disks, 4 drives
                     200fx: 197.6GB, 76 disks, 2 drives

              Expandability

                   The Model 80fx is expandable to a Model 160fx or 200fx with upgrade kits, installable on-site.

              Solutions Available

                   HP works closely with leading software providers to offer a full line of integrated software solutions.
