OpenCD™ CD-ROM / DVD Servers

Who would have thought in 2009 that CD-ROM content titles would still outnumber DVD content and internet/intranet content titles combined ?

Avantis offers the OpenCD range of dedicated CD-ROM/DVD Server products which are proving popular as schools continue to procure the majority of eLearning content on CD-ROM and DVD. If you have experienced problems sharing CD-ROMs or problems trying to network them using using file sharing techniques, why not take a look at OpenCD with its unique Avantis Multimedia Virtual Drive™ client software which guarantees networkability of CD-ROMs. Click here to visit the avantisworld website for more information.

If you are the current owner of an older Avantis CD Server such as CDserve+, Nexus, CDservePro, OpenCD Workgroup or even a current model such as OpenCD Campus or Enterprise that's more than 4 years old, then we strongly recommend that you  replace with a new server before the existing one fails and leaves your pupils without content access. We currently offer FREE migration of CD/DVD images from an older version of OpenCD or CDservePro to a new server at the time of purchase. (NB. Regrettably we cannot provide this service for servers supplied before 2003 such as CDserve+ or Nexus).

ContentCache™ Content Delivery Solutions

Did you know that you can purchase a ContentCache based on Windows Server 2003 for less than an open-source O.S. based product ?

Avantis Systems continues its success with the ContentCache™ range of Content Delivery Solutions for the academic market, with thousands of ContentCaches now installed worldwide. 2008 was a busy year with several new whole local authority deployments such as North Lincolnshire where we supplied servers for more than 80 schools and supplied central management and upstream caching. In Northern Ireland we won approval from DENI and HP as the caching product for over 200 secondary schools.

ContentCache is a caching and content hosting server appliance solution based on industry leading platforms such as Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and Microsoft ISA Server. ContentCache accelerates pupils' access to the internet by caching internet content locally on the LAN on a dedicated server.
