Plasmon (LSE: PLM), the trusted source in archiving systems, today announced the launch of their second-generation UDO2 (Ultra Density Optical) archival storage solutions. UDO2 drives and media will be generally available at the end of April and the full range of UDO Archive Appliances and G-Series UDO libraries will be available by the end of May 2007.
