Abstract

A high-capacity high-speed storage/retrieval system for storage and retrieval of document images in digitized data form permits clusters of storage/retrieval modules (SRM's) to store and exchange digital data via local area networks within the cluster of SMR's. Additionally, one cluster of SRM's can exchange digitized data with another cluster of SRM's by means of optical links using point-to-point optical controllers.
