PowerFile A3 - Active Archive Appliance

Effective June 2010, Powerfile is no longer a business entity. As a result of this unexpected shutdown of their business operations, PowerFile A3 and PowerFile HSA Blu-ray library systems are no longer available in the marketplace, there is no spare parts availability for existing systems, and there is no support available for the Operating System that manages their Blu-ray archive solutions.

For options on replacing a PowerFile Blu-ray solution with a library from another manufacturer, such as DISC or HIT Systems, or with a disk-based platform, such as ProStor InfiniVault or EMC Centera, please contact us to speak with one of our data archival specialists.

We look forward to helping you find an alternate solution!!
