SAN JOSE, Calif., Jan. 12, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Quantum Corp.
(NYSE: QTM) today announced that two of its products have been
named finalists in the Storage magazine/SearchStorage.com 2016
Product of the Year Awards. Highlighting innovation in Quantum's
scale-out tiered storage and data protection solutions, the
products were recognized in two categories — Xcellis™ in the Hard
Disk/Hybrid Storage Systems category and the DXi6900-S backup and
deduplication appliance in the Data Backup Hardware category.
The Power Behind Today's Storage Workflows
Xcellis and
the DXi6900-S are part of a broad portfolio of specialized
solutions for managing and protecting data in a wide range of end
user implementations.
- Xcellis Scale-out Workflow Storage: Xcellis is a
high-performance shared workflow storage system that boosts
efficiency and user productivity in the most demanding
environments. Delivering a combination of client access and
intelligent data management, Xcellis manages data across multiple
storage tiers, including private and public clouds, while
supporting connectivity requirements for both Fibre Channel and
Ethernet clients. With a converged architecture that unifies the
functions of multiple components into a single 4 RU system, Xcellis
simplifies storage architectures, streamlines operations and opens
the door to more sophisticated and efficient media workflows.
Powered by Quantum's award-winning StorNext 5 file system and data
management software, Xcellis offers industry-best streaming
performance for demanding high-resolution and high data throughput
workflows, along with cost-effective long-term retention of data in
an easy-to-access archive.
- DXi6900-S: The DXi6900-S was the first deduplication
appliance to incorporate 8TB self-encrypting drives for the highest
density backup available — up to 544 useable TB in 18U of rack
space. It consumes 50 percent less power than competitors and is
designed for large, multi-site data protection environments where
customers are grappling with the latest software and data
requirements. With the DXi6900-S, customers can shrink backup
windows and speed restore SLAs while reducing hardware footprint,
power and cooling in the data center.
Product of the Year finalists are judged by a panel of users,
analysts, consultants and Storage magazine and SearchStorage.com
editors. Ratings are based on innovation, performance, ease of
integration, ease of use, functionality and value. Storage magazine
will announce the winners in the February issue.
