News Image
Quantum is to launch a new NVMe all-flash storage platform that is designed to dramatically accelerate media workflows at NAB 2019.

The company also announced general availability of StorNext 6.2, a major new release of the company’s award-winning StorNext® scale-out file system. StorNext 6.2 is shipping today with the latest generation Xcellis® appliances, the solution of choice to ingest, edit, share and store media content and provide an improved technical foundation for organizations to run their operations.

In addition to these developments, Quantum (booth #SL4409 at NAB) will also feature a range of interactive demonstrations of new and enhanced solutions encompassing removable storage for on-set production, NVMe for high performance ingest and edit, as well as color correction and finishing of UHD content, cloud-based solutions for low-cost long-term preservation, the latest StorNext features, and hyperconverged storage for surveillance recording.

As customers deal with more and more UHD content, emerging storage technologies like NVMe is intended to help customers dramatically improve performance while simplifying their infrastructure. Quantum’s new NVME all-flash appliances combine 100% NVMe storage media with a new software defined block storage architecture and StorNext, which is expected to deliver ultra high-performance storage capabilities for the most demanding environments in media today.

StorNext® 6.2 bolsters performance for high resolution video while enhancing integration with cloud-based workflows and global collaborative environments. With StorNext 6.2 Quantum offers an S3 interface to Xcellis appliances, enabling them to serve as targets for applications designed to write to RESTful interfaces. In addition, enhanced FlexSync® replication capabilities enable users to create local or remote replicas of multi-tier file system content and metadata, offering more flexibility to protect a single directory or an entire file system.

From leading post-houses to cutting-edge autonomous vehicle engineering firms, organisations are turning to the latest networking technologies to attain the most cost-effective storage solutions. The new Xcellis models offer the latest 100 Gb Ethernet and 32 Gb Fibre Channel connectivity options, enabling customers to utilise the latest generation networking infrastructure between their clients and storage arrays, thereby accelerating workflows and improving productivity. Combined with StorNext’s comprehensive and coordinated file accessibility over NAS, SAN, and DLC architectures, the new Xcellis platform offers industry-leading architectural flexibility.
