Produplicator's Daisy Chain Towers

 

Produplicator's Daisy Chain Towers

 
What's the purpose of purchasing a series of Daisy Chain duplicators? It's to produce a mass number of copies from a single master. The concept behind daisy chain duplicators is that you can connect multiple towers together so that when loaded with blank media, they can all simultaneously copy a single master project onto every disc in every drive across every tower at the same time.

So if your goal is to record an huge number of discs simultaneously, quickly, then any mishaps that could cause a large portion of the discs to fail the duplication process would not only be extremely frustrating and time consuming, but also extremely costly. Multiple towers all giving bad discs is far more costly than a single tower failing. That's the difference between Produplicator and the competition. Our daisy chain duplicators function in a manner that creates a natural firewall to prevent the mishaps of one tower affecting the rest of the towers in the chain. The difference being that the competition does not offer this capability and is far riskier in encountering a massive failure for all or a majority of discs being duplicated.

The concept is simple, picture the daisy chain towers are like houses and each room in the house is like each tower in the chain. The power for the houses is like the data flowing to each drive in the daisy chain. So if you have a house with 10 rooms (think 10 separate towers in a daisy chain configuration) if there are no circuit breakers or just a single circuit breaker for the whole house, then if there is a power surge that disrupts the power flow it will knock out the power in the entire house. If each room has its own circuit breaker (like each tower in the Produplicator Daisy Chain),then if there is a power surge in any particular room, it will only affect that particular room and the rest of the rooms in the house will function as normal.So the circuit breakers in each room, just like the hard drives in each tower,will act to isolate each tower from harm while still allowing the power/data to flow freely to each room/drive in the unaffected areas.

So what would you rather have, the assurance that if you have a drive that locks up or freezes, because you're using low cost/grade media, that it will not affect the majority of discs being duplicated? Or, take the chance that if the same thing happens on a non-Produplicator daisy chain system that you could lose every disc across all towers? Even with cheap media, that adds up and costs you time and effort as well to replace all those discs. When you're making so many discs at one time and time and costs are important to you, do you really want to take that chance?
