Eyecatcher Fileserver

Creating and using optical media in the terminal server environment

Virtual CD Terminal Server (TS) expands your terminal server with the features of a hardware-based CD server. Virtual CD TS is the only software in the world that provides virtual CD/DVD/Blu-ray drives in terminal server sessions. Virtual CD TS saves you the purchase of physical CD/DVD drives as well as the costs and expensive maintenance of a CD-ROM server. Every user can access up to 23 different virtual media at the same time. The number of virtual CDs, DVDs and Blu-ray discs in the network is unlimited.

Virtual CD TS can optionally provide virtual burners for your users. These are virtual drives that can be operated like physical CD burners using any CD-writing program, so you can create virtual CDs, DVDs and Blu-Rays from within other applications.
