Why not use a standard file server to share CDs?
A4. Avantis CD/DVD servers provide a dedicated thin server solution for sharing CDs and DVDs. This means there is a reduced load on the file server as valuable processor time, memory and disk space are not allocated to CD-ROM sharing tasks, and overall network performance is significantly enhanced. The Avantis CD/DVD networking approach also guarantees compatibility with all CD/DVD formats. Using a standard file server, more than 50% of CD/DVD applications cannot be networked or accessed by mapping to shared network drives.
