SAN JOSE, Calif., April 27, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Quantum Corp.
(NYSE: QTM) today announced that New
York-based production and postproduction studio Nice Shoes
has deployed Quantum's new Xcellis™ high-performance, shared
workflow storage, enabling faster turnaround of projects and
establishing a scalable foundation for future growth. Working with
Quantum partner Alliance IT, the cutting-edge creative house
incorporated Xcellis into its environment to provide greater
flexibility in optimizing its collaborative media workflow and in
scaling storage capacity and performance.
"As a production and postproduction studio for major global
brands, we are continuously raising the bar to deliver compelling
content within very compressed timelines," said Robert Keske, chief technical officer at Nice
Shoes. "We are always looking to enable greater efficiency and
productivity across our workflows, especially as we've expanded
into new service areas with our Creative Studio and into more
regions with our offices in Chicago and Minneapolis. Quantum's new Xcellis storage
provides the unique combination of performance, scalability and
simplicity needed to adapt quickly and cost-effectively."
Powered by Quantum's StorNext® platform, Xcellis
enhances productivity in collaborative media environments,
simplifies the overall storage architecture and streamlines
operation and management. The new workflow storage system
consolidates media and metadata management, extends connectivity
options for both Fibre Channel and Ethernet clients and supports
hosted applications within one easy-to-manage, fully scalable
hardware solution.
Xcellis also provides the performance and reliability needed to
meet extreme production and delivery deadlines. It provides
optimized high-speed Fibre Channel SAN connectivity and
industry-leading streaming performance. In addition, offering
continuous scalability that doesn't require a forklift upgrade or
interruption of business operations, Xcellis enables agile,
intelligent and cost-effective expansion by facilities ranging from
the largest studios to boutique creative houses such as Nice
Shoes.
"Xcellis gives us critical flexibility in handling an increasing
volume of media content as we've been receiving and starting to
deliver footage at 4K or higher resolution," said Keske. "Backed by
the StorNext platform, Xcellis provides the ability to tune
capacity and performance to suit evolving workflow requirements,
which can change from project to project. As a result, we have the
freedom to adapt our storage resources to any new challenges or
opportunities that our clients bring to us."
