For software developers, Data Strategies offers tape and disk APIs for the development of Windows applications that control a variety of peripherals: SCSI Tape Drives, Optical Drives, CD/DVD drives. Additionally, dedicated APIs are available for the control of SCSI auto-changers and for the creation and management of “virtual tapes”.
Data Strategies offers a number of APIs to control storage peripherals. They are written in C language and compiled using the Microsoft Visual C/C++ compiler. The APIs are supplied as 32-bit static libraries that can be linked with the user’s application software.
DsiMtApi
Magnetic Tape API for the development of Windows applications that control SCSI Tape Drives with or without Autoloader. This API is a C library for use with C++ or MFC applications. It supports over forty tape drives, including: 9-track, 18/36-track, 8mm, DDS, ¼”, 9840, 9940, 3590, AIT, LTO, DLT, SDLT, SLR, etc. It can operate multiple SCSI host adapters (single or dual-channel, SE, HVD, LVD) in the same system.
DsiOdApi
Optical Platter API for the development of Windows applications that control SCSI Optical Drives with or without Autochanger. This API is a C library for use with C++ or MFC applications. It supports over twenty optical drives, including: WORM, MO, UDO, and 5.25”, 12”, and 14” platters. It can operate multiple SCSI host adapters (single or dual-channel, SE, HVD, LVD) in the same system.
DsiCdApi
CD-ROM/DVD API for the development of Windows applications that control SCSI CD/DVD Drives with or without Autochanger. This API is a C library for use with C++ or MFC applications. It supports over ten CD/DVD drives. It can operate multiple SCSI host adapters (single or dual-channel, SE, LVD) in the same system.
DsiAcApi
Autochanger API for the development of Windows applications that control SCSI Autochangers for tapes, optical platters, CD/DVDs. This API is a C library for use with C++ or MFC applications. It supports over ten Autochangers. It can operate multiple SCSI host adapters (single or dual-channel, SE, LVD) in the same system.
DsiTdApi
API for the development of Windows applications that need to create and manage “virtual tapes” on hard disks or optical disks. This API is a C library for use with C++ or MFC applications. It supports all tape recording entities – blocks, tape and set marks – and all tape operations, including read/write, space, locate, get position, rewind, etc.
