Quantum To Exhibit At SATIS 2017

Quantum has announced that it is to exhibit at SATIS 2017, Stand C15, which takes place on 8 and 9 November at Docks de Paris, Saint-Denis.

At the event, the company will present its latest innovations to visitors including StorNext 6, aiWARE for Xcellis and Xcellis Foundation.

StorNext 6
A number of updates within the StorNext 6 platform demonstrate the company's development in workflow storage, with a focus on extending collaboration globally and providing new data management options. StorNext 6 highlights include:

• Quality of Service – A new QoS feature that enables facilities to tune and optimise performance across client workstations, and on a machine-by-machine basis, in turn guaranteeing that more demanding tasks, such as 4K playback or color correction, get the bandwidth they need to maintain uncompromising video quality.

• FlexSpace™ Shared Archive – Addressing the challenges of global "always-on" production workflows, the new FlexSpace feature allows multiple instances of StorNext, located anywhere in the world, to share a common content repository. As a result, any user within a StorNext environment can access, browse and pull files from the shared workspace.

• FlexSync™ Multisite Synchronization – FlexSync provides a flexible way to synchronise content between multiple StorNext systems in a manageable and automated fashion. FlexSync supports one-to-one, one-to-many and many-to-one file-replication scenarios, and can be configured to operate on specific files, specific folders or entire file systems. By leveraging enhancements in file-system metadata monitoring, FlexSync recognises changes instantly and can immediately begin reflecting those changes on another system.

aiWARE for Xcellis
aiWARE for Xcellis is a new hybrid on-premise and cloud version of the artificial intelligence (AI) platform from Veritone. This solution allows users to leverage Veritone's best-of-breed cognitive analytics – in areas such as object recognition, optical character recognition and transcription – to extract hidden value from their on-premise video and audio content.

Xcellis Foundation
Xcellis Foundation is a new high-performance, entry-level workflow storage system specifically designed to address the technical and budgetary requirements of small- to medium-sized postproduction facilities and corporate video departments. Based on StorNext, the system delivers the benefits of enterprise-class Xcellis storage in a NAS appliance for less than $25,000 (US). Xcellis Foundation is ideal for smaller video production facilities that need the benefits of a shared workflow but have limited budgets to spend on shared storage.

ClarityNow for Xcellis
Quantum will also demonstrate the integration of Data Frameworks' ClarityNow with Xcellis workflow storage, powered by StorNext. Together these technologies allow users to look at the physical nature of the storage environment to see where files are kept but also to establish policies so that files are moved in a way that yields the most capacity. By scanning content in near real time, building an index of that content, and then grouping similar content into collections, the integrated solution makes it easier to attach exact costs to storage related to specific content and projects. As a result, studios and other content creators can keep specific groups of content in the most appropriate storage medium.

Gabriel Chaher, VP Global Market Development at Quantum, said: "Three new Quantum offerings are boosting our customers' flexibility not only in managing large volumes of data used in today's collaborative workflows but also in leveraging their growing media libraries far more effectively and extensively. We look forward to showcasing StorNext 6, aiWARE for Xcellis, and Xcellis Foundation at SATIS 2017 and to demonstrating how their advanced capabilities, including rich data management and innovative AI-driven processing and analysis, enable users to increase productivity and realize a greater ROI for their digital content."
