Servers--Beyond the Bitmap

"Today's publishing workflow relies on networks to transfer files from one workstation to the next, creating an open workgroup environment," states Michael Reiher, general manager of LizardTech. "With the majority of design and production now being done digitally, the volume of text, graphics and images that organizations must transfer and store is increasing. This slows the overall transfer rate of files and consumes local workstation and server disk space—with one of the biggest offenders for exhausting network capacity and storage resources being imagery."
