| PoINT Publisher NG Version 3.0 Released PoINT Software & Systems now offers the version 3.0 of their software product PoINT Publisher NG, a solution by which multiple production systems for CD/DVD and Blu-ray Disc (so-called "autoloaders") can be controlled centrally in a network. The new load balancing function improves productivity by splitting media production jobs to various systems, thus compensating possible system breakdowns by redundancy. Autoloaders can burn and label CD/DVD and Blu-ray discs automatically with robotics, multiple recorders and a label printer. The systems are controlled by the PoINT Publisher NG software, which is able to run multiple systems simultaneously thanks to the load balancing function. The former load balancing function for autoloaders directly connected to a server, has been enhanced with the latest version 3.0 for network based production systems and offers new application scenarios for this device class. Highest levels of productivity and reliability are realized this way. The new load balancing function assigns a media production job automatically to that autoloader which can perform it fastest. A job consisting of a substantial number of media to be produced can also be distributed to multiple autoloaders ("job splitting") to optimize production time. The "FailOver" function ensures moreover, that a job, which is supposed to be performed by an autoloader currently not available due to a defect, is automatically directed to another device. Especially customers working with TEAC disc publishing systems as EXPLORER 1 and DiscSprinter profit from the enhanced load balancing function: As the new function was especially created for the TEAC hardware, it supports the specific characteristics of these devices. write your comments about the article :: © 2010 Computing News :: home page |
