The Access principles
The Acorn Access range of products has been produced with qualities such as ease of use, efficiency and multimedia capability firmly in mind. This range has been developed to establish a networking structure in the environment in which the products are used to encourage the maximum use of resources available. With these principles in mind, Acorn Access was released first and now Access+ is available. .
Access CDShare provides a useful addition to both these products where a site requires very powerful multimedia sharing performance on a site-wide basis.
Multimedia sharing
Multimedia is becoming increasingly important as a key part of IT. The ability to use this information as a central resource using Access CDShare and as part of a work group using Access+ will greatly increase its general application. Access CDShare incorporates the same easy management principles as the rest of the Acorn Access networking range and, as such, enables the efficient sharing of multimedia-based information.
Why use Access CDShare?
Access+ enables the sharing of multimedia (CD-ROM) based information in an efficient way on a peer-to-peer basis. Access CDShare provides additional functionality to allow the sharing of CDs including multimedia- based information on a site-wide basis. .
Cost-effective
Using Access CDShare is cost- effective when you consider how many machines can gain access to CD-ROM on the network. This enables the user to make greater use of the resources that are present on the network, freeing money to buy additional hardware or software.
Ethernet technology
Access CDShare uses industry standard Ethernet technology, which makes for a fast and efficient network.
Platform
Each machine requires RISC OS 3.1 or later and 2MB of main memory to run Access CDShare. Upgrades for owners of existing Ethernet cards will be made available through the normal Acorn channels. Contact your supplier for further details.
Simple to install
All you need to do to install Access CDShare is to copy the application supplied on floppy disc to an area of your server machine's hard disc.
