“It’s a relieve that the format war has finally come to an end – not only for customers but also for us as manufacturer,” said Andreas Hoffmann, Managing Director of Primera Europe. “Now, consumer and companies start trusting in the optical media of the future and sales will increase.” The financial loss for the industry just in Europe is calculated several 100 million Euros.

As “just predictions” comments Andreas Hoffmann all news claiming the soon coming end of the Blu-ray Disc.  “It’s true, many people already buy and download movies and audio tracks from the Internet. But it’s human nature to own a physical copy of the favorite songs and movies either on CD, DVD or now on Blu-ray Disc. No to mention that external media is more reliable than an internal PC hard drive. Also, not everyone has the resources and transfer rates to legally download everything they want.”

And that’s just the consumer side of how to use Blu-ray Discs. The main applications for companies with high data volume are long time and audit compliant archiving, backup and physical storage.

Primera’s automated disc publishers burn and print up to 350 CDs, DVDs and Blu-ray Discs per batch. The devices are used by a wide range of companies and organizations, including schools and universities, video and music production studios, government and military and businesses of all types including more than eighty-five percent of the Fortune 500.
