FISC CDH
NAS Innovation
Introduction FISC CDH is a powerful dual-function NAS server performing both CD/DVD and File server applications. It is the first NAS server that enables network users to store and share all sorts of Data Files and CD/DVD information. Features all convenience and utilization on NAS contains, FISC CDH can be easily and effectively accessed under variety of network environments, such as Microsoft Windows、Novell NetWare、Apple Macintosh、UNIX and Web browsers. Equipped with four independent UDMA-100 IDE/ATA channels, FISC CDH carries out extraordinarily high efficiency of data processing. The powerful channels enable the FISC CDH controller to be flexibly attached with maximum eight IDE/ATA-100 HDD, CD/DVD, CD-R/RW, even Tape devices, depending on different task requirements. In addition to the file management functions, such as file opening, duplicating and backup, FISC CDH provides also the unique features for CD/DVD information sharing. Empowered by super high speed CD caching and CD mirroring functions, network users may enjoy the full-multimedia features, Audio and Video, upon maximum 1,000 volumes of CD/DVD sharing. FISC CDH supports almost all CD formats, such as music CD, CDR, VCD and DVD.
