the installations we've performed using products from
our G-Soft family.

Irvin
Simon Photographers had an archiving problem: how to move
large amounts of digital photos to CDs for later printing
and processing. They chose AutoDisc
and a Rimage system
as their solution. Their custom software now automatically
saves pictures from a particular job into a folder, catalogs
them, and AutoDisc
detects the presence of the files and starts a recording
job. AutoDisc saves
them the labor of manually archiving each photography
job for later processing. |

| NetDisc |

There
are two unique implementations of our NetDisc
product: One at Tobyhanna Army Depot and another at
the US Census Bureau.
Tobyhanna
Army Depot uses NetDisc
to eliminate stale inventory of training videos, as
well as excess equipment needed to store those videos.
Tobyhanna converted all of their VHS, Betacam, and U-Matic
masters to DVD, and GTGI provided a NetDisc
server with an attached G-Stor
storage array to store the DVD images. Now Tobyhanna's
customers can place an order for the training DVDs they
want and they are produced on demand...with no excessive
storage necessary.
The
US Census Bureau distributes population, topographical,
and other information related to previous Census efforts.
Previously this information was distributed on a fixed
set of CDs and DVDs. NetDisc
enabled Census customers to go to the Census web site
and request a custom disc with just the information
from the states they are interested in. Normally this
presented a problem, because the format of the mapping
software Census uses requires each geographical area
to be re-indexed if the entire disc set is not available.
To fully integrate the Census map format into NetDisc,
GTGI provided a custom-modified version that aggregates
the data, re-indexes it on-demand, then creates a CD
with the requested data and a custom label. This process
allows Census to eliminate excess inventory and focus
on other customer activities.

| SpanDisc |
|
|
|
Using
SpanDisc in video
applications can be ideal. Both the Cook County Illinois
Sheriff's Office and the New York office of the Drug
Enforcement Agency agree.
Cook
County uses SpanDisc with a Rimage
DiscLab to archive video taken during suspect interviews.
SpanDisc takes the
video files created by a video capture software and
outputs them to a set of DVDs automatically. This converts
a multi-step manual process of figuring out which files
will fit onto a single disc into a single-step drag-drop-click
operation.
The
DEA uses SpanDisc
in a similar manner for archiving observation video.
This allows DEA agents to concentrate on their surroundings
rather than what they should be recording to disc.

| SecureDisc |
|
|
|
Many
US Government agencies use SecureDisc
to protect the CDs and DVDs they send out for field
use, as well as archiving. Using SecureDisc
adds a level of protection the discs distributed would
not otherwise have. In one case, the State Department
used SecureDisc
with a Rimage system to distribute potentially sensitive
reports on CD. Though the data is not "secret"
or higher, they prefer to restrict general access to
some of the discs they produce to prevent viewing if
the disc is lost or stolen.
