High Capacity Storage Devices

Document imaging generates large quantities of data which must initially be retained in fast access devices, but which may be transferred to "near-line" or off-line storage when it is no longer active. The manufacturer's name, if different, is shown in italics.
In addition to the equipment listed below, it is possible to convert data to analogue format on film using COM recorders or CAD plotters, either in-house or as a bureau service. COM devices are listed under Hybrid System Components; bureaux offering COM facilities will be found under Bureau Services.
