// Beyond The Product
In the Resident Evil series, the Umbrella Corporation utilized magneto-optical (MO) disks for secure data storage. These disks were essential for accessing high-security areas within their facilities, often requiring players to locate and use them to progress through the games.
Parasol, a subsidiary of the Umbrella Corporation, specialized in electronics, including the production of MO disks. These disks were used by various Umbrella facilities to control high-security and emergency door locks, highlighting the corporation's extensive reach in technology and security.
In titles like Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, players encounter MO disks as key items necessary to unlock secure areas. Their inclusion adds a layer of complexity and nostalgia, reflecting the technological themes of the series.
