SAN JOSE, Calif., Aug. 29, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Quantum Corp.
(NYSE: QTM) today announced aiWARE™ for Xcellis®, an
on-premise and cloud version of the artificial intelligence (AI)
platform from Veritone (NASDAQ: VERI). Bringing Veritone's
multi-engine AI capabilities into a Quantum
StorNext®-managed environment, aiWARE for Xcellis
enables users to leverage the power of Veritone's cognitive
services and applications ― beginning with optical character
recognition (OCR), object detection and speech-to-text
transcription as the first network-isolated engines ― to extract
new value from their on-premise video and audio content. Situating
powerful AI processing behind corporate firewalls, the integrated
solution is ideal for companies with significant investments in
on-premise storage and/or latency, cost or security concerns about
cloud storage.

Maximizing Media Value With AI
Using cognitive engines
to delve deeper and faster into their content, media companies can
gain greater insights and drive increased business and
organizational success. For example, aiWARE for Xcellis enables
users to:
- create more customized video-on-demand offerings through robust
metadata tagging of existing content.
- provide better ROI data to sponsors by identifying where and
how often logos, as well as spoken and text brand integrations,
appear in broadcast media and redistributed clips.
- accelerate postproduction work through enhanced context-based
search and discovery.
Optimizing Cognitive Analytics With Quantum and
Veritone
Cognitive engines can deliver greater value when
they have more data to analyze. The combination of Quantum's
StorNext-powered Xcellis with Veritone aiWARE enables users to
apply AI to on-premise content that previously could not be
leveraged for this purpose and to add new content for analysis as
that content is captured. The integrated solution also provides the
option to leverage Veritone's continuously evolving array of
best-of-breed cognitive engines in the cloud, either exclusively or
in concert with on-premise engines, when desired or
appropriate.
Availability and Deployment Options
aiWARE for Xcellis
is available now from Quantum and its reseller partners, with three
initial deployment options: "Embedded" for containerized deployment
on an existing Xcellis workflow storage system, "Standard"
delivered on an Xcellis Application Director for more processing
performance, and "High Performance" based on an enhanced Xcellis
Application Director with additional processing cores and expanded
memory. The integrated solution can easily scale with additional
appliances as the environment grows.
Quantum will highlight the new solution at IBC2017, Sept. 15-19, in Amsterdam (Stand 7.B27), showcasing the three
initial on-premise cognitive engines and integrated access to
cloud-based engines. The company will add support for additional
on-premise engines over the course of the year and beyond.
Supporting Quotes
Nick
Gold, Chief Revenue Officer, Chesapeake Systems
"Our customers are
extremely excited about the prospect of using cognitive engines to
mine their content repositories. Up until the availability of
aiWARE for Xcellis, they haven't seen a way to smoothly integrate
AI processing with their on-premise content. Quantum's approach
solves the on-premise challenges while maintaining access to
cloud-based engines and orchestration of everything for fantastic
flexibility and options."
Keith Lissak, Senior Director,
Media and Entertainment Solutions Marketing, Quantum
"The
integration of AI with on-premise storage enables organizations to
apply cognitive analytics to video and audio content and generate
much more robust metadata without the cost and hassle of moving
their extensive media libraries to the cloud. This will be a
game-changing capability for many media companies, as it opens up
new realms of possibility for monetizing these libraries."
