Abstract:
1. A data management system, comprising: a first server processor for receiving a plurality of received data files, the data files being capable of being different file types; a file organizing/categorizing processor for organizing the received data files, based on a predetermined list, into a source directory structure including at least one source directory, and a corresponding destination directory structure including a least one destination directory; a file logging processor for logging the received data files into a database formed by the source directory structure and identifying a file type of the received data files; a de-duplicate processor for calculating a value of the received data files to determine whether the received data files have duplicates and flagging duplicated data files in the database; a plurality of image conversion processors for converting the remaining, de-duplicated, data files into image files, respectively; and a second server processor for exporting the image files to the destination directory structure; wherein the file logging processor, the image conversion processors, and the second server processor are parallel processors such that the data files are parallel-processed in a data file logging stage, an image conversion stage, and an image file output stage; and wherein each of the image conversion processors is capable of converting the data files having the same file type into the corresponding image files.
