SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov. 11, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Quantum Corp.
(NYSE: QTM) today announced that its StorNext® scale-out
storage platform will serve as the foundation for NASA's new
Content Management & Storage System at the Kennedy Space Center
(KSC). Vencore Inc., the prime contractor on the KSC Engineering
Services Contract, has awarded a contract to systems integrator
StorExcel to deploy a solution combining StorNext, IPV's Curator
digital asset management system and Telestream's Vantage media
processing platform. The integrated solution will enable the
Kennedy Space Center to centralize, manage and preserve all its
digital content, including footage from high-speed cameras used
during launches, video from surveillance cameras, production video,
digital prints and still imagery. The StorNext-based Content
Management & Storage System has passed factory acceptance
testing and is ready for deployment within a new data center being
constructed at the Kennedy Space Center.
StorNext is optimized for the most demanding workflows,
providing a unique combination of the industry's fastest streaming
file system performance and long-term data management for the
lowest possible total cost of ownership (TCO). This low TCO is
achieved through automated movement of content to the most
cost-effective storage tier based on access requirements, all
managed within a single solution.
The StorNext system to be deployed by NASA provides multitier
storage, including a metadata appliance, primary disk storage and
an archive-enabled tape library. In combination with IPV Curator
and Telestream's Vantage system, StorNext will enable the agency
to:
- Manage more than 15 different digital formats across the entire
content lifecycle — import, transcode, process, distribute, export
and retention/preservation;
- Search, preview and access any of the content through a secure
web-based interface; and
- Scale to more than 10PB of storage capacity.
