What is a CD/DVD server?

A CD/DVD server allows multiple users on a network to share CD-ROM and DVD based information simultaneously. CDs are stored centrally on fast hard disk drives on the CD/DVD server rather than on individual PCs allowing rapid access to all types of CD or DVD.

All Avantis CD/DVD servers are dedicated NAS (network attached storage) appliances and provide a smarter and easier way to network CDs than using a file server or CD Tower.


Why use a CD/DVD server?

• CDs can be shared by hundreds of users simultaneously

• No need to physically hand out CDs or DVDs

• Eliminates problems of lost, scratched and damaged discs

• Enforces software licensing, helping to reduce costs

• Faster access to multimedia than using a CD-ROM drive

• Access to CDs can be centrally managed and controlled
