Broadcast Beat and TV Technology awards for Q-Cloud Archive
Q-Cloud Archive leverages Quantum’s StorNext 5 software to provide automated, policy-based movement of content to a virtually limitless pool of cloud-based storage while delivering fast, seamless access to that content when needed. Because it is fully integrated within a StorNext®-managed environment, Q-Cloud Archive enables users to realise the full benefits of the cloud without having to make changes to their existing applications or processes.
One of hundreds of nominated products in the Broadcast Beat Awards, Q-Cloud Archive earned top honours for creativity in content management. Judging criteria included the originality of the product, its inventive qualities and ways in which it improves on existing technology.
In giving a Best of Show Award to Q-Cloud Archive, TV Technology judges applauded it for “offering a path to taming the cloud conundrum by integrating it as one component of a hybrid, application-driven infrastructure.”
