COLD

(Computer Output to LaserDisc) Archiving large volumes of transactions on optical media. Instead of printing large paper reports or producing microfilm or microfiche, data are stored on optical discs. The advantage of COLD over COM (Computer Output Microfilm) for high-volume, archival storage is that optical discs can be directly accessed just like a hard disk.
