LONDON, Feb. 10, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Quantum Corp.
(NYSE: QTM) today announced that its Xcellis™ scale-out storage has
been shortlisted for Storage Product of the Year at Network
Computing magazine's annual Network Computing Awards. Powered by
Quantum's industry-leading StorNext® platform and
optimized for demanding workflows, Xcellis enables users to
capitalize on the value of their data more quickly, easily and
cost-effectively.
Growth in Data-Rich Workflows
For customers in highly data-intensive fields, meeting business
objectives depends on the ability to derive value from their
digital assets. This includes those working in video production,
intelligence, surveillance and technical applications such as
genomics, medical imaging or oil and gas exploration. However, a
key challenge has been storing and managing this data in a way that
cost-effectively meets performance and access needs in an
end-to-end workflow. While scale-out NAS products have enabled
organizations to leverage their IP infrastructure, these offerings
have been unable to keep up with the greater performance and
scalability demands generated by increasingly larger data files and
higher content resolutions.
Xcellis: Designed for Demanding Workflows
Optimized for end-to-end workflows, Xcellis overcomes these
limitations and delivers a comprehensive solution that automates
and simplifies data management. It provides a unique combination of
converged architecture, continuous scalability and unified access
in a single system. Xcellis lets users boost their efficiency,
productivity and creativity to deliver the products and services
that drive their business. It consolidates the management of data
and metadata, extends connectivity options and supports hosted
applications. Xcellis integrates the most important components of
workflow storage into a single, compact hardware solution that runs
on the powerful Quantum StorNext 5 platform. The solution also
facilitates flexible configuration and smooth growth, allowing
users to start with the smallest system possible and economically
scale up performance and capacity when needed. Xcellis provides
this flexibility without requiring replacement of original hardware
or interrupting ongoing operations.
The Network Computing Awards are run by industry publication
Network Computing and will be presented on Thursday, March 17, in London.
