Special Purpose CD Servers:

The thin servers used in our systems are very easy to install. If you have DHCP running on your network, the towers will acquire the IP address automatically. If necessary you can set the IP address using the front panel or a software tool. It's very easy. Once the IP address is set, the towers appear on the network like another server. The ones that are Apple compatible appear in the chooser. All the CDs appear as folders. Everyone on the network can share all the discs at virtually the same time. The tower is administered using a standard web browser.

Pentium CD Servers:

The TurboPlus server contains CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drives and hard drives for caching all the discs. It includes a powerful Pentium processor and special hard disk system. All delivered Ready to connect directly to your Ethernet network, and be integrated as part of the Network.
