Storage Solutions From Quantum
At NAB Show
The award-winning
Xcellis workflow
storage system

Q

uantum will highlight new
products and solutions at the
NAB Show, showcasing the company's
ongoing leadership in delivering
workflow-optimised storage, including
its award-winning Xcellis system and
new StorNext 5.3 platform with support
for Quantum's Q-Cloud Vault long-term
cloud archive service.
Solutions being shown in the
Quantum booth help users overcome
the challenges of working with everhigher resolutions of 4K and beyond,
as well as content with higher dynamic
range and wider colour gamut. The
featured solutions also support a
growing array of applications, from
animation to archive to over-the-top
and on-demand video delivery. For
media companies looking to simplify
their storage environments, collapse
hardware into a smaller footprint
and realise greater value for their
investment, the Quantum booth will
offer a look at convergence in action

and at the innovative
way in which Quantum
is integrating workflowoptimised storage and
media applications.
The
award-winning
Xcellis workflow storage
system will make its
NAB Show debut, and
Quantum will demonstrate how the
unique converged capabilities of this
solution empower users to boost their
efficiency, productivity and creativity
in delivering the products and services
that drive their businesses. Xcellis
consolidates media and metadata
management, extends connectivity
options for both Fibre Channel and
Ethernet clients, and supports hosted
applications in a single hardware
solution that greatly enhances
productivity in collaborative media
environments.
Based on the powerful StorNext 5
platform, Xcellis facilitates flexible

configuration of performance and
capacity. The solution supports online
work in process, ingest and delivery,
and archive through Quantum's
portfolio of Lattus object storage, LTO
tape and Q-Cloud services.
Quantum will also showcase its new
Q-Cloud Vault long-term cloud storage
service at the show. Fully integrated
within workflows powered by StorNext
5.3, Q-Cloud Vault provides low-cost,
Quantum-managed "cold storage" in
the public cloud.
In addition to supporting Q-Cloud
Vault, StorNext 5.3 gives users greater
control and flexibility in optimising

their collaborative media
workflows for maximum
efficiency and productivity.
StorNext Pro Solutions
enable users to manage
assets from ingest to
delivery to archive at any
scale, and adapt as their
workflow evolves. They
combine the Xcellis Workflow Director
with the Quantum QXS RAID storage
in an integrated solution that is cost
effective and easy to deploy.
Quantum will also demonstrate a
workflow-optimised shared storage
solution engineered to meet the
demanding requirements of animation
and visual effects (VFX) workflows.
Addressing the need for a streamlined
workflow
and
high-performance
access to media, the Quantum
storage solution takes advantage of
flash technology to deliver the faster
performance needed for frame-based
animation workloads.
