The Computer Filing Cabinet® CFC looks and feels like Microsoft® Windows Explorer. It has a main directory (the database) and then sub-directories. Directories can be nested to N levels. Folders within directories can be located through its specific path in the same way that files are found on Windows Explorer. A document may consist of one or more pages. Each document may have multiple indexes, which allows for easy retrieval.

Documents can be scanned or imported as TIFF or JPEG images. They are labeled manually, by OCR, or by barcode. The documents are located by searching the various indexes and can then be displayed, printed, faxed or emailed.

The size of an average scanned page is approximately 40-45K. Approximately 12,000 to 15,000 pages can be stored on a single CD-ROM. All CFC turnkey systems include a CD-R (writer) for storing and backing up documents. Documents are saved directly on the hard drive and queued for backup and storage to a CD-ROM. The system automatically creates storage volumes the size of a single CD. The CFC system is expandable to SILOS with capacities of up to 1,000 CD's. The CFC system may include multiple Silos. Please understand, the CD's are only used as a permanent method of backup. The images are always active on hard drives whether in an active area which is daily backed up on tape or transferred to the SILO area where they have previously been permanently backed up on CD's.

(A SILO is an additional set of hard disks (separate or enclosed within servers) that cache CD's. Since a CD is a permanent backup the Silo is a permanent backup and an accessible storage module.)
