Abstract

FileTek´s Storage Machine is an automated mass storage system which utilizes optical disks stored in an optical disk library device. The storage machine is made up primarily of off-the-shelf hardware components and storage management software developed by FileTek and designed to be consistent with the IEEE mass storage system reference model. The Storage Machine is utilized by organizations that have a requirement to store, manage, and provide large amounts of data in an efficient and cost effective manner. To illustrate the practical functionality of such a system, a description is given of some of the applications which have been implemented using the Storage Machine.<>
