What is the Hyper CD Technology?

The Hyper CD is a tridimensional multilayer optical memory, based on controlled fluorescence intensity. The recording of information inside the virtual layers of a fluorescent photosensitive glass or glass-ceramic discs uses laser diodes.

Characteristics of Hyper-CD Technology

• High Capacity ( TBs )
• Low Cost ( Media, Drive)
• Long Term Archival Solution ( thousands of years)
• Capable to Work at High Temperature and Intense Radiations
• Resources for Future Developments ( PBs, rewritable)
• No Standard Restriction
• Minor Modifications of CD/DVD Drives
• Hyper Drives are able to read/write CD and DVD discs
• Broad Design Flexibility ( PC, notebooks, etc.)

Applications

The field of applications for the Hyper CD technology is extremely diverse, such as:

• Data archiving systems for large organizations: governmental institutions, banks, insurance companies, hospitals, libraries, museums, TV networks, movie studios, space and military applications, Internet servers.
• Data archiving systems for individual owing PCs: encyclopedia, music, movie, literature, scientific journals and books, school manuals, commercial catalogues, etc.
