SAN JOSE, Calif., March 17, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Quantum Corp.
(NYSE: QTM) today announced that China's National Animation Industry Park
(NAIP) in Tianjin, the country's
largest animation center, is using Quantum StorNext®
shared storage as the foundation for its 4K postproduction
workflows. The animation park turned to Quantum when its legacy
system was unable to handle the performance and capacity
requirements of its new 4K projects, and the StorNext solution has
enabled NAIP to increase the efficiency of its workflows by 60 to
80 percent.
"After researching different solutions for meeting 4K demands,
we chose the StorNext platform because it not only provides
high-performance collaboration but also is highly scalable and
cost-effective," said Liu Yuqi, deputy director of the technical
center at NAIP. "With StorNext, we are now able to work with
Hollywood filmmakers on 4K
remastering, which we could not do previously."
NAIP's StorNext storage solution — which encompasses a metadata
appliance, a gateway appliance and disk storage — allows all of the
facility's creative professionals to work on content simultaneously
in a high-performance, high-capacity environment. They can now
handle 4K content with 48MB of data volume per frame and replay an
entire film at a rate of 24 frames per second, native, when
performing quality control.
"By giving us much greater flexibility in accessing and working
with large media files, StorNext has enabled us to enhance our
editing and remastering capabilities significantly," said
Dou Kai, production director at
NAIP. "As a result, our workflows are much more efficient, and we
can better serve our clients."
"The move to 4K offers exciting new opportunities for content
creators to tell more visually impactful stories," said
Alex Grossman, vice president, media
and entertainment at Quantum. "However, it also presents new
challenges for managing this content, challenges that many of
today's storage solutions simply can't meet. Quantum has been at
the forefront of helping customers such as NAIP make this
transition, providing specialized StorNext solutions designed to
meet 4K workload demands."
