| Conversion clusters |

| Conversion clusters
Many organizations use Arbor’s ConverTible Audio and ConverTible Video to convert media files to a range of formats. ConverTible is either installed shared with a LogDepot installation or on a dedicated conversion server. However, in high-demand environments a single conversion server may not provide a satisfactory performance, which even applies to a modern quad core system. The new ASIM Load Balancer module can distribute conversion jobs over multiple servers. Effectively it creates a conversion cluster with a much higher capacity, which scales from two till many nodes. As you may expect from ASIM, you can monitor progress of individual jobs and control the cluster via the ASIM SDK. An additional advantage is the integrated fail-over mechanism: if a single node goes down, new conversion jobs are automatically routed to the other nodes and conversion is still available. |

| USB Stick support for Eplayer |

USB Stick support for Eplayer
On request of one of our customers, the Eplayer program and the LogDepot export modules
have been modified, so that LogDepot allows the reproduction of a meeting on a USB-Stick.
The process is very similar to the production of DVD’s. Special USB-Stick duplication machines are used to produce multiple USB-Sticks. We use Altec devices, that allow the production of 20 sticks in one run, per machine, With the decreasing prices and increasing sizes of USB Sticks, this can be an alternative for DVD production in some cases.

| Instant Access Speedup |

Instant Access Speedup
The LogDepot Instant Access Service can now build its files faster than it used to. This effectively
causes an increase in access time during the hour-pass. We have noticed that systems with
large amounts of channels experienced difficulties with Instant Access file generation resulting
in storage slowdown. These problems will generally be solved now. | |
