Quantum to showcase new intelligent archive appliance for NAS-based production at NAB
Artico appliance provides benefits of StorNext’s optimised content management in media facilities and the cloud, outside of StorNext environments
SAN JOSE, Calif. — 9 April 2015 — Quantum Corp. (NYSE: QTM) today announced that it will be highlighting its new Artico™ intelligent NAS archive appliance at the 2015 NAB Show in Las Vegas, 13-16 April (booth #SL8416). Artico offers broadcast and post production facilities using scale-out NAS systems a flexible, low-cost entry point for establishing media archives — outside of StorNext® environments — that can scale to hold petabytes of content across Quantum’s Lattus™ extended online, Scalar® tape and Q-Cloud™ Archive storage. Powered by Quantum’s StorNext 5 software and providing a simple NAS presentation, Artico incorporates StorNext Storage Manager™ policies to put the right content in the right place at the right time for maximising storage efficiency and reducing total costs. When used in combination with any StorNext-qualified media asset management (MAM) system, Artico can move files seamlessly from online storage to longer-term archive with no user intervention, while maintaining full access to the files.
Maximising workflow efficiency and reducing storage costs
In today’s media facilities, critical file-based workflows — including video production, animation, rendering and creative graphics — depend on sharing content across a variety of storage systems and media. As these workflows evolve and the quantity of large files stored on disparate storage systems grows, these facilities can rely on Artico to provide transparent, scalable and efficient archiving of all media content and assets. As a result, users can confidently offload large files from expensive NAS systems and reduce overall storage costs, including those related to space, power and cooling.
Delivering proven StorNext media management
StorNext Storage Manager has been deployed broadly by media facilities around the world with great success. Artico incorporates this proven technology to streamline operations, improve use of existing capacity and simplify expansion of media storage to accommodate changing business and operational demands. Additional Artico-StorNext Storage Manager benefits include:
- NAS connectivity for easy deployment and integration into broadcast and
postproduction environments. - An optimal balance of media access and storage TCO through intelligent, policy-driven file movement across LTO tape, LTFS, object storage and cloud archive systems.
- Long-term protection of content, including the ability to create multiple archive copies and with support for multiple archive systems.
- Automatic integration with StorNext-qualified MAM systems, enabling users to store, share and preserve media files seamlessly.
