Key Advantages for Partners
By providing early access
to Quantum technology, the Quantum Advantage Program enables
partners to integrate key features and optimize performance ahead
of new product releases, thereby ensuring the fastest time to
market. They can leverage a wide range of best-in-class Quantum
products and technologies, including high-performance workflow
storage, object storage, intelligent tiering software and backup

scale-out storage, one of the most widely supported platforms for
applications in media and entertainment and other high-performance
environments. To ensure that these and other partners have the
in-depth knowledge needed to develop and deliver truly innovative
and differentiated solutions, Quantum also provides world-class
training through the Advantage Program.
