SAN JOSE, Calif., April 5, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Under the theme of
"Power What's Next," Quantum Corp. (NYSE: QTM) today announced that
at the 2016 NAB Show it will demonstrate how the expanded
capabilities of its StorNext® workflow storage platform
can maximize efficiencies in ever-evolving media environments. With
new formats, higher resolutions, multi-format delivery and changing
consumption patterns presenting both challenges and opportunities
for content creators and owners, storage has become even more
critical for future success.

16-21 http://qntm.co/1oT3cyp]
Quantum's NAB booth (SL8416) will showcase the power of the
StorNext platform across the media life cycle, with stations
dedicated to production, delivery and archive workflows, as well as
content management. The booth will also feature several first-time
demonstrations, including how Quantum hybrid flash and disk storage
combines frame-based animation creation with stream-based editing
in the same storage system. In addition, Quantum will present an
interactive showcase of embedded applications developed for the
Quantum Xcellis™ shared workflow storage system.
Production: Live Demos of Multi-Stream 4K
Production
The production station will feature live,
multi-stream demonstrations of a 4K edit workflow using Adobe
Premiere and a VFX animation workflow with Autodesk's Flame and
Maya, streaming simultaneously from a single StorNext
infrastructure. The StorNext platform unites different areas of a
workflow, including editing and animation, within a shared
environment that eliminates the time-consuming transfer of content
between workflow steps and can also handle a mixed file-size
workload. In a first-of-its-kind demo for Quantum, the rack of
equipment supporting the animation workflow will showcase the
integration of hybrid flash and disk storage in a StorNext
environment to deliver frames into the render farm with exceptional
speed.
Archive: Petascale Digital Libraries With Tight MAM
Integration
The archive station within the Quantum booth
will feature animated presentations that explore how StorNext-based
workflows support petascale archives while maintaining immediate
access to media for content creation and repurposing. Making it
easier and more economical than ever to take full advantage of
disk, object storage, tape and cloud storage, the StorNext platform
delivers both high performance and the quick, easy access to media
that is critical to meeting short production deadlines. Quantum
will highlight recent developments that enable tight integration of
the StorNext platform with Avid Interplay MAM and other third-party
archive management systems in multi-tier storage deployments that
help users significantly reduce capacity costs.
Delivery: Transcode and Deliver Directly From Lattus
Object Storage
Within the content delivery station of its
booth, Quantum will highlight for the first time a workflow in
which its Lattus® object storage system is integrated
with media management software from Vidispine and other third-party
applications for efficient transcode and delivery within the object
storage framework. In this way, content owners can transcode and
deliver content directly from Lattus without restoring to online
storage or converting objects back to files.
Embedded Application Support on Xcellis Workflow
Director
The Quantum booth will feature a virtual partner
pavilion that gives NAB Show attendees a preview of the embedded
applications being developed by technology partners for the Xcellis
Workflow Director. Accessible on an interactive display and on
tablets throughout the booth, the partner pavilion will spotlight
virtual machine-based applications — including MAMs, transcoders
and production automation — and explain how they are integrated
with Xcellis, reducing hardware requirements and improving
integration for media workflows.
