SAN JOSE, Calif., July 20, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Quantum Corp.
(NYSE: QTM) today announced support for the Xsan Distributed LAN
Client in the public beta of Apple's forthcoming operating system,
OS X El Capitan. Now OS X El Capitan users can easily connect Xsan
clients over Ethernet to a Quantum StorNext®
environment, enabling them to experience the full benefits of a
StorNext-based workflow.
StorNext, Quantum's shared storage platform which is 100 percent
Xsan-compatible, has long allowed Mac users to plug into StorNext
environments via Fibre Channel for high-performance workflow
storage and collaboration. Increasingly, however, content owners
are looking to leverage lower-cost Ethernet connectivity within
their media workflows for such tasks as file inspection, QA and
digital daily review. With the public beta release of OS X El
Capitan, Xsan users can now enjoy full client access to a StorNext
SAN environment to perform these critical tasks, using a simple
Ethernet connection.
The new Xsan Distributed LAN Client-StorNext functionality is
now available for testing in the public beta of OS X El
Capitan.

Alex
Grossman, Vice President, Media and Entertainment,
Quantum
"Mac systems have long been the platform of choice
for creative professionals who, in turn, have long relied on
StorNext and Fibre Channel connectivity to deliver the performance
and reliability they require. Now, the availability of a
high-performance IP connection to Apple clients through StorNext is
a significant step forward for users looking to take full advantage
of an end-to-end StorNext storage environment. In short, Mac users
working with StorNext now have the freedom to use the best
connectivity for any given element of the workflow — a new level of
flexibility that can enable greater efficiency and productivity
while reducing costs."
