Backup and data interchange solutions for the process-manufacturing industry

Manufacturing companies have been at the forefront of the business process reengineering drive. With major change the order of the day, these companies have found that their information systems needs have also changed. Where once the organisation's decision-making authority and its information systems were centralised, now the opposite is true. The agile, quick responding manufacturer of the 21st century will need more than just decentralised data distribution, it will need personalised, point-of-use information systems capable of immediate, real-time access by empowered workers at all locations, from the office through the plant to the distribution center.

Equally important, these systems must provide the information employees need, in a manner they can understand easily and quickly, with constant updates to assure accuracy. The answer is available in today's technology, the open system, client/server, network-centric computing environment.

With high-availability features such as disk mirroring and automatic systems recovery, Avax is able to provide fault-tolerance for mission-critical manufacturing applications.

Avax's strategy is to develop high-performance technology for four key areas in manufacturing: engineering, process control, product data management (PDM) and MRP II/ERP.

Avax Tape Subsystems
Avax's tape subsystems cover a wide range of capacities - 2 GByte to the Terabyte range, with transfer rates from 256 KBytes/sec to more than 120 MBytes/sec.

Flash Card based replacement for magnetic tape drives
Avax offers tape emulation units that are plug-and-play replacements for legacy SCSI and Pertec interface tape drives. The units use standard Flash cards instead of tape and have the advantage that there are no moving parts to wear out.

SCSI Switches
Used to share devices or to switch all the peripherals between a live and back-up system in a failback situation; making more use of existing peripherals by allowing them to be shared across multiple platforms.

Protocol Converters
Whether you need to connect iSCSI to SCSI, fibre to SCSI (or vice versa!), or simply connect an HVD SCSI device to a modern LVD SCSI host, Avax has the solution that you need.
