ABOUT US  
   
Our Background:

Westpoint Peripherals Limited is a privately owned UK company formed in 1985. The founder Directors and senior Staff are experienced computer professionals with specialist knowledge of Data Storage Solutions.

Our Location:

The Company purchased its spacious building in 1993 which was converted to office premises and provides an excellent 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 almost 20 years ago as a leading supplier of low profile compact mainframe compatible tape systems that were used to “downsize” applications to smaller systems. Several hundred tape solutions incorporating Westpoint’s specially developed data interchange software were installed in top UK Companies and Government departments. Today Westpoint still supports these legacy tape systems alongside the latest tape technologies in their IBM S/390 mainframe connectivity product m-CON.

Westpoint introduced Optical Storage Solutions over 10 years ago 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. The company gained particular expertise in providing Archiving Solutions to the publishing and professional photographic markets. When JVC introduced a range DVD Jukeboxes Westpoint became their main value added distributor.

Westpoint is now firmly focused on fixed content storage solutions which are installed and supported in many top UK Companies & Government departments. The company maintains close relationship with its partners JVC and Point which enables it to respond to specific market requirement for fixed content storage. A recent partnership with IXOS resulted in an Email Archiving Solution with over 10TB of storage being installed and supported in 1,500 user Government site. This featured JVC DVD Jukeboxes and IXOS eCONserver software.

Westpoint has also introduced Sony AIT and SAIT WORM tape technology solutions along with Xen Data software with ultra high capacity and fast data transfer rates for high end fixed content storage.
