<p>A high-capacity and high-speed storage/retrieval system (Fig. 1) provides storage and retrieval for document images in digitized data form. Clusters of storage/retrieval modules (SRMs) (10) receive serialized image optical data read from documents (@:) via point to point controllers (10po). The storage/retrieval modules (10) store and/or exchange digital data via individual controllers (10po) or line controllers (10oz) in the clusters of SRMs. A host computer (6) is operative to transmit via sever/controller (4B) commands and management data to remotely located storage/retrieval modules (10). Local workstations (12, 14) are connected to the SRM's via standard interface boards (10c) and remote workstations (12, 14) may be connected through modems (10) and sever/controller (4BS) to other remote workstations.</p> |
