Selecting the right media to store your information is probably the single most important decision in designing any information management system.

In today's environment new media are introduced at an ever quickening pace. Just a few years ago CD-ROM was the media of choice, it had dense storage capabilty, easy reproduction, acceptance, etc.. Now more people are turning to DVD-ROM for the same reasons. What will be next ? Will it be compatible with existing equipment? How long will it last?

The above graphic shows some of the changes that have taken place over the last few years. Have you tried to read an 8" floppy disk lately, or even a 5.25" floppy disk?

Micrographic Sciences' products support all current media, CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, Optical, DASD, DLT, DAT, 8mm Tape, Cartridge Tape, ASM-ROM, etc..

Micrographic Sciences works with you to choose a media for current use and a media for archival use. Often by writing the data out to ASM-ROM (a new media based upon microfilm) using Kodak's revolutionary Document Archive Writer you can avoid those costly migrations every few years and still have rapid access to your information!
