KernSafe Adds Support for Virtual CD/DVD-RW Burner Feature

KernSafe Technologies, Inc., in security storage and iSCSI solutions, announced  iStorage Server version 2.50 with support for virtual CD/DVD-RW burner feature with auto-loader option.

Virtual CD/DVD-RW burner feature in iStorage Server will be especially interesting for corporations. Feature called auto-loader will allow to automatically mount new blank CD/DVD disk, after burning process will be finished, into virtual burner.

This will be a benefit for corporation since use of auto-loader with CD/DVD-RW emulator will allow to perform easy and time effective ISO file backups as well as use for CD/DVD image file resource sharing center. After connecting virtual CD/DVD-RW burner to a Windows-based machine, it will appear in devices list as a CD/DVD recorder. It will be recognized by any burning software as well as by default Windows 7 burning wizard. User will be able to drag and drop data onto such disk and when he will start the burning process, all data will be saved onto an ISO file.

Virtually burning data onto an ISO file have three additional advantages over physical disks:

• It is faster than physically burning data
• It will never contain any burning errors
• It is free

You can use it to export any SCSI-based device, as well as all popular CD/DVD Images. It will help to centrally manage devices. Most important features that will benefit in use for business are: high-availability, RAID-1, VHD files, snapshots and continuous data protection (CDP & COW).

Now user can create ISO file using any burning software he like and use it for centralized management.

"Adding virtual CD/DVD-RW burner feature was a necessary step in evolution of iStorage Server. Such feature will benefit our customers for even easier sharing and data management. It makes us pleased that we are the first company in the world that adds such feature in iSCSI target software. We will continue to expand our iStorage Server capabilities to meet all our costumers needs," said Aldrich CEO of KernSafe Technologies.
