StorNext 6: Quantum Leaps Ahead in Powering Workflow Storage

StorNext 6 adds new advanced data management features to the industry-leading 4K performance of Quantum's award-winning workflow storage solutions portfolio.

With a unique combination of performance and automated, policy-driven management, StorNext 6 is engineered to overcome the challenges of working with growing volumes of higher-resolution content and to help users capitalize on the opportunities to re-monetize or re-purpose that content.

Leveraging its extensive real-world 4K testing and a series of 4K reference architectures developed from test data, Quantum's StorNext platform provides scalable storage that delivers high performance using less hardware than competing systems. With StorNext 6, Quantum delivers a new quality of service (QoS) feature that empowers facilities to further tune and optimize performance across all client workstations, and on a machine-by-machine basis, in a shared storage environment.

To address the challenges of global "always on" production workflows, a new feature called FlexSync provides a fast, flexible and simple way to synchronize content between multiple StorNext systems, including geographically distributed teams. For archive, a FlexSpace capability allows multiple instances of StorNext located anywhere in the world to share an archive repository, facilitating collaboration. StorNext cloud archive options include both public cloud storage via an existing FlexTier™ capability and private cloud storage based on Quantum's Lattus® object storage or, through FlexTier, third-party object storage.

Quantum delivers all these benefits in an integrated, multi-tier storage solution encompassing flash, spinning disk, object storage, tape and the cloud while maintaining optimized performance, visibility and access at every tier.
