With Virtual CD FS you can insert a virtual CD in a virtual drive, and then make it available to all your users by sharing the drive in the network. All you have to do is install Virtual CD FS on a file server – no additional hardware or extraneous components are required! That is why we say: Virtual CD FS is the CD-ROM server solution for your network.
And this is not just an empty claim—Virtual CD FS provides a range of features that make it a truly unique CD-ROM server solution.
For example, Virtual CD FS:
► | –requires no client installation for distributing access to virtual CDs. |
► | –enables the use of up to 5865 virtual CDs simultaneously (using virtual CD "collections") |
► | –supports applications that can access CD data displayed in directory trees. |
► | –is seamlessly integrated as a system component on your file server. |
► | –lets you control access by granting or denying permissions to virtual CD shares. |
► | –gives you a clear view of all the CDs in a collection thanks to the new Collection Viewer. |
► | –can be operated when no users are logged on. |
► | –comes with a second user license so you can create and test virtual CDs on a workstation of your choice. |
► | –employs familiar network mechanisms so you can start using it right away, without a time-consuming learning phase. |
► | –supports 64-bit operating systems in the Windows series. |
► | –stores collections in UDF format. This removes a great many limitations imposed by the Joliet format (for example, restrictions on file name length). |
► | –supports virtual burners. You can use this feature to provide network shares that users can write in. |

Virtual CD FS uses network shares to provide access to data stored on virtual CDs. This means CD-ROM-specific properties (such as playing audio CDs, certain copy-protection issues, etc.) that work only in conjunction with a CD drive cannot be utilized.
