About
Our Background:
Westpoint Peripherals Ltd was formed in 1985 with a staff of experienced computer professionals
having a specialised knowledge of
Data Storage Solutions.
Our Location:
The Company operates from its
spacious office premises and
provides a pleasant working environment, situated on a green field
site near Bristol Airport on the southern outskirts of the city. The
location supports excellent demonstration facilities for all the
Company's products and services.
Our Products and Solutions:
Westpoint first established itself as a leading
supplier of compact desktop mainframe compatible tape systems, for
mini and micro computers that were used to downsize mainframe applications
onto smaller computer systems.
Several hundred tape solutions incorporating Westpoint’s specially
developed data interchange software were installed at top UK Companies and
Government departments.
Today Westpoint still supports these legacy tape systems alongside
their IBM S/390 mainframe connectivity products.
In 1992
Westpoint introduced Optical Storage
Solutions following the appointment as UK
Distributor for NSM Jukebox, a leading German manufacturer of CD
Jukeboxes.
Westpoint developed CD Jukebox Solutions incorporating
Jukebox Management Software from leading developers such as Smart
Storage, iXOS Jukeman and Point Software.
The company gained a particular
expertise in providing
Archiving Solutions to the publishing and professional
photographic markets. When JVC later introduced their range DVD Jukeboxes, Westpoint became
JVC's value added distributor for the UK.
Westpoint is
now firmly focused on long term fixed content storage solutions which are
installed and supported in many top UK Companies and Government
departments. The company maintains a close relationship with its
partners JVC and Point Software, which enables it to respond to specific
market requirement for fixed content storage.
Westpoint has been providing optical solutions for storage and
data distribution since 1990. Customers can reliably access
their optical archives created over 15 years ago.
Westpoint is also a pioneer in the development of a system which
encrypts sensitive financial data held on mainframe computers
and is distributed on a
monthly CD sent to 50 regional offices. The security of customers
data has always been a very high priority at Westpoint.
Westpoint has developed its expertise over many years and
currently provides the latest technologies such as Blu-ray Archiving
Solutions for the Corporate Network.
Westpoint has a great support team for both hardware and software. Products are offered with optional on-site support
contracts to ensure that everything runs smoothly.
