PoINT Software Jukebox Manager 8.0

PoINT
Software & Systems GmbH announced the availability of PoINT
Jukebox Manager 8.0.

The software allows native file system
access to optical jukeboxes. This applies for all available optical media
formats, especially for the 100GB BDXL technology, which is gaining in
importance in the field of professional archiving. The main focus of this version
is the support of the Windows OSs Windows 8 and Windows Server 12. This version
allows a prioritized finalization of storage media and their export from the
jukebox at any time – even during the recording process. 

The approved recording mode ‘Dynamic Image
Recording’ implemented in PoINT Jukebox Manager protects the recording process
against media- and hardware problems. This version provides a command by which
administrators can, even during the recording process, finalize the storage
media in a prioritized manner and export them out of the jukebox.

Users working
with the Blu-ray libraries of the DISC ArXtor series can import respectively
export changeable media units (so called packs) online and administrate them
offline. For the offline-racks of the manufacturer HIT the device presentation
in the admin GUI had been extended by additional structuring levels on basis of
the ‘drawer’ of the HIT offline-racks.

It supports the file system format for
optical media UDF 2.5 for re-writable BD-RE respectively UDF 2.6 for write once
BD-R media. These also offer additional security mechanism like mirroring of
metadata.

The upgrade for this version is free of
charge for users with a valid PoINT support contract and is available at the
correspondent reseller.
