Technological advances allow today's hard drives to offer tremendous capacity, while flash memory offers incredible convenience and portability. Indeed, the emerging acceptance of a standard platform for network and personal computing, along with the introduction of the CD, has had a permanent effect on print's dominance of data storage and transmission. Optical disks (CDs and DVDs) can store the equivalent of thousands of volumes in document pages, text, graphics, images and video. Although data stored on such media can be printed out, in order to make large quantities of information readily available, the most cost-effective means is to provide access via electronic data networks (LANs) for communication within an organization, or over the Internet.

The very qualities that make networks appealing can be problematic when access needs to be restricted to a select few. And, although physical media are not 100 percent secure, they do offer direct control over distribution, can be destroyed if necessary, and are usable when network access is unavailable. For some applications (video, for example), remote network access is not always a viable option. If you want to archive and distribute something like training videos or presentations, DVDs will almost always be the preferred medium. When large amounts of data or sensitive content are involved, optical disks are almost always the preferred solution, from convenience to cost.
