ICEBOX G1
Optical Storage Archive

PUT YOUR HIGH VALUE DATA ON ICE

The ICEBOX is a scalable optical storage archive ideal for managing rapidly increasing volumes of data that are characteristic of modern library, legal, compliance, digital preservation, and disaster-recovery use cases. It is designed for archival workflows where large files may need to be permanently stored, secured, and retrieved repeatedly over long periods of time. Organizations in video and entertainment production, art, engineering, CAD, AI, scientific research, education, and government use the ICEBOX to place their data into cold storage to conserve energy while protecting high value data and cultural assets from data loss.

20 TERABYTES OF IMMUTABLE AND REMOVEABLE STORAGE

An ICEBOX drive unit holds a single removeable ICE CAPSULE for a total of 20TB of write-once storage capacity.  Single or multiple storage volumes in a single capsule can be created across multiple ICEBOX units, making storage expansion very simple while keeping total storage costs low.

ABSOLUTE PROTECTION
AND SECURITY

Write-Once (WORM) optical disc media is
immutable by accidental or malicious tampering of data, cyber-attacks, ransomware, and self-replicating viruses. The ICEBOX's  fully enclosed design guards against entry of dust, dirt, and sand. Single discs can be inserted and removed through the front panel and password security keypad.

INDEX AND FIND ALL OFFLINE DATA

The ICEBOX features a passive RFID sensor to track all data online and offline stored on removeable storage capsules.  All data storage volumes are  identified with wireless tags for inventory management and retrieval. 

OPTIMAL ENERGY EFFICIENCY

Now you can conserve energy and lower power costs as storage systems grow.   The ICEBOX conusmes 60 WATTS  of power when it is active, and only 12 WATTS  when it is idle.  The fan-less design requires no energy for cooling.   

FAST RANDOM ACCESS
TO DATA FILES

Get instant direct access to volumes and files on the ICEBOX unit. There is no winding or sequential searches. To enable greater user productivity, the ICEBOX bi-drive design allows for simultaneous read access while write operations are active.   Read/Write at 144Mbp/s per drive.

MAXIMUM
COMPATIBILITY

ICEBOX Optical Storage drives reads and writes data using the industry standard Universal Disk Format (UDF) and can be read by most standard backward compatible Blu-ray BD-XL drives in the market.

SIMPLY CLICK-IN
AND CLICK-OUT

Easily swap Ice Capsules to and from the ICEBOX with no electrical mechanisms. Just turn the handle counterclockwise to remove and turn it clockwise to lock it into place. The worry-free design provides added reliability from mechanical failures, errors, or robot arm maintenance.

 


YOUR WORK, YOUR WAY

The ICEBOX is modularly designed to flexibly and silently 
fit your office environment and enterprise data center.  Connect ICEBOX to a workstation or laptop with the easy connect USB 3.0 interface.

PUT YOUR HIGH VALUE DATA AND DIGITAL ASSETS ON ICE

The ICEBOX is an optical storage system ideal for managing rapidly increasing volumes of data that are characteristic of modern library, disaster-recovery, legal, compliance, and asset-management applications. The ICEBOX is perfect for archival workflows in video and entertainment production, government, engineering, manufacturing, CAD, AI, scientific and medical research, education, preservation of art and cultural assets, and the secure storage of highly confidential information. The ICEBOX is suited for archive and preservation use cases where files may need to be stored, secured, and accessed repeatedly over long periods of time where challenging environment conditions such as noise, temperature, moisture, and electromagnetic interference are prevalent.
