ETERE HSM has been designed as a modular architecture that can grow according to both customer’s requirements or technology improvements. The architecture can easily answer the needs of a system with multiple libraries and multiple formats. Each component of the system is independent and can be easily upgraded or maintained without affecting other components activities.
The central system schedules and controls all different module tasks. It also manages the system cache to provide the best performances.
