"UDO, a 30GB drive and media technology, announced by Plasmon is well positioned as the next generation higher-capacity optical technology for 5.25" jukeboxes."
"Due to its compelling cost per GB and Write Once support, IDC believes UDO will quickly replace ISO MO in storage solutions. With the support of the major 5.25" optical drive, jukebox and media vendors, we believe UDO will have sufficient momentum to transition current users and possibly widen its user base."
Wolfgang Schlichting, Research manager - Removable Storage at IDC Gartner Dataquest.
"Optical technology in a 5.25" form factor continues to be a viable choice for many applications where high performance and permanence of data are requirements. UDO technology holds the promise to sustain a tradition of market competitiveness and technical excellence which OEMs and users expect by providing higher capacities that can easily be integrated into existing optical library systems."
