Publisher Archive™
BD | DVD-ROM | CD-ROM
QStar Publisher Archive provides storage management functionality specifically for popular CD, DVD and Blu-ray publication products by automatically moving data between fast access disk technology and low-cost removable archive media. The solution is based on a tiered based storage structure which allows the enterprise's reference data to be managed on available disk stores, and provides data protection with cost effective expansion of archives by moving or copying data to removable media when needed. QStar Publisher Archive utilizes multiple levels of functionality so the solution can be custom- ized as the customer needs it.
Automated Data Migration
QStar Publisher Archive utilizes one terabyte of onboard high speed magnetic disk embedded in the publishing system or network attached disk stores to provide a secure online archival media store for archive data. In addition, Publisher Archive takes advantage of integrated optical disk drives in the publishing system providing an optimal combination of performance and security for your data archives. The solution stores data on available hard disks in a preformatted, non-proprietary UDF image utilizing the QStar Simulated Disk technology. These UDF images can be copied to archive media such as CD, DVD or Blu-ray and the data can be maintained on-line or off-line. Archiv-ing or copying data from the disk stores to the removable media may be scheduled to take place hourly, daily, weekly or monthly and at any particular point in time to suit the business operations of the company, thus providing the ability to tune the system to achieve maximum productivity. Additional online archive storage may be managed with available add-on storage modules from QStar.
Customization
One or multiple copies may be made from the online archive, and a custom label can be made for each removable disc. An easy-to-use disc labeling application is provided so you can create, import and customize the graphics that will be printed on the CD, DVD or Blu-ray disc surface. The label designer enables easy adding of background colors, additions of custom text, photos, mail-merge data and even bar codes by clicking and dragging within the simple CD Designer user interface.
Media Interchangeability
With QStar’s non proprietary Universal Disk Format (UDF), the removable discs created may be physically transported between different operating system platforms and read in standard local drives, ensuring data access well into the future. This helps to future protect your data
archives without having to worry about new data formats or operating systems
Off-Line Volume Tracking
By providing a mechanism to track media outside of the system, logical volumes may grow in a book shelf solution beyond the available on-line capacity of the publisher product. With the entire file system directory structure cached for easy data selection, prompts are made when off-line data is requested and email notification can be sent for the retrieval of off-line media, providing the most energy efficient archive model available today.

In addition it is designed to meet the budget of small businesses and is highly suitable to be the ideal solution for the following applications:
