SAN JOSE, Calif., June 30, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Quantum Corp.
(NYSE: QTM) today announced Xcellis™ Application Director, a new
addition to its surveillance and security solution family which
enables customers to run video management systems (VMS) or analytic
applications with directly attached storage. With the new server,
these applications can connect directly to Quantum's QXS™ Series
disk storage or as clients in an Xcellis environment powered by
Quantum's industry-leading StorNext® data management
platform. As a result, users can access data without adding to
network traffic for a more efficient video surveillance
infrastructure, regardless of scope.

A Fresh Approach to Managing Surveillance and Security
Data
By incorporating Xcellis Application Director into a
video surveillance solution, Quantum offers the unique ability to
scale from simple environments with fewer than 50 cameras to
complex infrastructures integrating more than 10,000 cameras, as
well as other distinct advantages:
- Large Environments: Because Xcellis is powered by
StorNext, Application Director users can meet the most demanding
performance requirements, scale to hundreds of petabytes and
integrate easily into existing video surveillance workflows.
- Small Environments: When coupled with QXS-3 Series,
QXS-4 Series or QXS-6 Series disk storage, Xcellis Application
Director offers a powerful solution enabling small camera count
environments to achieve the same data management efficiencies as
larger deployments. As an implementation grows, it also provides
the flexibility to evolve into a tiered environment.
A Design That Anticipates Future Growth
Xcellis
Application Director offers multiple methods of connecting to
storage for efficient data management. This versatile approach
allows smaller systems to directly attach to QXS storage systems
and enables the redeployment of assets as the infrastructure
changes, unlike other appliance-based solutions. As these smaller
installations expand capacity they can connect their Xcellis
Application Director to a StorNext-based environment. The QXS
hardware can later be integrated as part of a StorNext
infrastructure, allowing users to take advantage of a multi-tier
storage approach utilizing low-cost high-capacity disk, file-based
tape, or cloud as a security infrastructure grows, and avoiding a
complete forklift upgrade.

"With Xcellis Application Director, system
integrators can easily configure storage solutions to address a
uniquely expansive range of surveillance customers. Now smaller
implementations can enjoy the kind of access, performance and
enhanced value previously reserved for more complex environments
and then scale to realize the benefits of a Quantum tiered
architecture, all while protecting their original investment."
Wayne Arvidson, Vice
President, Surveillance and Security Solutions,
Quantum
"Xcellis Application Director extends the benefits
of Quantum solutions to a broader range of customers and eliminates
the gap between appliance-based surveillance storage solutions and
large scalable models that haven't historically been a good fit for
small camera count environments."
