SAN JOSE, Calif., June 2, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Quantum Corp.
(NYSE: QTM) today announced the results of industry analyst firm
Enterprise Strategy Group's evaluation of Quantum's Artico™ active
archive appliance. ESG Lab's testing confirmed that Artico — which
is powered by the company's StorNext® data management
technology — offers a simple-to-configure-and-manage tiered archive
that is easily integrated into existing workflows. Artico was shown
to work with tape, object storage and cloud repositories while its
policy-based data management enables data movement, protection and
resiliency, retention and encryption. ESG affirmed that Artico's
NAS connectivity makes it easy to integrate, and its automated
tiered storage engine makes it transparent to archive data on
demand. Artico offers significant savings in time and effort while
delivering fast access to data and lowering the cost of storing
large amounts of data.

ESG Lab Validation Highlights
ESG Lab performed
evaluation and testing of Artico in the areas of data access,
protection and archive as part of the orchestrated and repeatable
pattern of business activity that constitutes a critical user
workflow. Key findings included:
- Easy Configuration: ESG Lab rapidly configured Artico to
provide a multi-tiered target easily accessible by users and
applications to archive data using standard NAS protocols.
Configuration via the Artico dashboard was extremely fast and
simple because integration with tape, object storage and the cloud
are built in. Artico can be configured as a data store for user
workflows and applications and can be integrated with archive
solutions such as Veritas Enterprise Vault.
- Management: ESG Lab used StorNext Connect™ to access
Artico from the desktop via a browser and from mobile devices via
an app, with StorNext Connect providing guided installation,
insight into system status, single-screen management, control and
visibility.
- Policy Creation: Artico's policy engine was used to
configure complete, granular control over the behavior, protection
and security of data.
- Performance: Artico automatically executed tiering
policies to copy data to secondary storage and truncate data on
Artico internal disk. Frequently accessed data can be stored on
faster media while less active data occupies slower, less costly
media. Data was transparently and automatically retrieved as
required, regardless of where it was stored.
