Output Media

DataStor supports output to CD-ROM, magneto optical disks, Jaz, Zip, FTP, Travan and DAT tapes. 

The CD Rom is cost efficient and most popular with our customers. Each disk contains viewer software making it possible to retrieve the information from a CD from any PC. 

Our standard service includes one master CD (to be kept offsite as a security copy) and one copy to be used as your working copy. This way you always have a backup of your data.

Free LaserFiche Viewer 

Used by over 16,000 companies and government agencies around the world, LaserFiche is a preferred choice in document imaging and document management systems. The software is included on each CD-Rom, making document retrieval possible without the added cost of viewer software.

File Transfer To A Server

As an output option, consider File Transfer Protocol to transfer images directly to your server. This allows information to be immediately accessible by anyone with authorized access to your server. This is a smart option when the conversion is large and the number of CD's required to hold all your images would be cumbersome.
