SAN JOSE, Calif., Aug. 31, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- At the IBC2016 show
(Sept. 8-13 in Amsterdam), Quantum Corp. (NYSE: QTM) will
feature enhancements to its StorNext®-powered Xcellis™
and Lattus® storage solutions that bring greater
efficiency and flexibility to diverse media workflows while
reducing overall costs. Visitors to the Quantum stand 7.B27 will
see how Xcellis workflow storage now supports animation/VFX and
editorial within a single shared environment and also optimizes
technology deployments by running media workflow applications
within a converged architecture. In addition, the company will
demonstrate content transcoding and delivery directly from Lattus
object storage.

Streamlining Animation/VFX and Editorial Workflows
At IBC2016, Quantum will showcase its new reference architecture
that allows users to maintain storage for an expanding range of
media processes and departments — animation/VFX, color grading and
high-resolution editorial — within a single shared environment that
supplies the type and degree of connectivity required across the
end-to-end workflow. Built on Xcellis workflow storage, the
architecture incorporates QXS™ hybrid flash-disk storage with
Q-Tier technology, providing animators, VFX artists and colorists
with the random I/O performance they need for a fraction of the
cost of an all-flash solution. Because Quantum's StorNext-powered
solutions are already certified with leading applications —
including the Autodesk suite, Adobe suite, and animation management
tools such as Shotgun — facilities can seamlessly integrate the new
reference architecture into existing environments.
Enabling Optimal Resource Allocation With Converged
Architecture
Building on its rich partner ecosystem, Quantum has collaborated
with a growing number of partners to introduce embedded
applications for Xcellis that address tasks such as media asset
management, transcoding and quality control, provisioning resources
in an exceptionally efficient on-demand model. A virtual machine
hypervisor within the Xcellis storage system executes embedded
applications, reducing the need for dedicated application servers
while also providing a flexible foundation for future technologies
and workflows.
At IBC2016, Quantum partners, including Elements (stand 7.B08)
and IPV Limited (stand 8.D41), will feature their own applications
running directly on Xcellis high-performance shared storage.
Elements will demonstrate its Gateway product, which supports mixed
editorial environments, and IPV Limited will display its Curator
media asset management solution.
Transcoding and Delivery With Lattus Object Storage
During the show, Quantum also will highlight a workflow that
integrates Lattus with media management software from either
Vidispine or CatDV for efficient transcode and delivery within the
Lattus object storage framework. Using this approach, content
owners can transcode, deliver content and manage assets directly
from Lattus without restoring to online storage or converting
objects back to files.
