SAN JOSE, Calif., April 12, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Quantum Corp.
(NYSE: QTM) today announced that Avid® has developed a
connector for the company's Interplay® | MAM system and
Quantum's StorNext Storage Manager™ that enables seamless
integration of Quantum archive storage systems into Avid
environments.

new archive storage options to Avid Interplay | MAM
environments]
Tight Integration Enhances Long-Term Storage
Options
The Avid connector for StorNext Storage Manager
gives users the ability to access and control StorNext®
archive and restore functions through Interplay | MAM, including
automated movement of content across different archive storage
tiers: Quantum's Lattus® object storage, tape libraries
and Q-Cloud® services. Integrated into various business
processes within Interplay | MAM, this solution provides more
intelligent, long-term content management, faster access to a
nearline archive tier via standard network protocols and better
protection of Avid projects with an archive strategy.
Collaboration Provides Greater Value to Customers
In
addition to developing a solution that enables tight integration of
Avid Interplay | MAM with Quantum archive solutions, Avid also has
joined the Quantum Advantage Program™. This program provides a
platform for partners to test and qualify their technology with
Quantum offerings and provide integrated, best-in-class solutions
that deliver enhanced value to customers' workflows.
Quantum will be showcasing the new Avid archive solutions at
Avid Connect 2016, April 16-17, in
Las Vegas, and in the Quantum
booth (SL8416) at the 2016 NAB Show, April
18-21, in Las Vegas.
