SAN JOSE, Calif., March 28, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Quantum Corp.
(NYSE: QTM) today announced certification of Xcellis®
Scale-out NAS with the Dalet Galaxy platform, delivering an
optimized solution that meets the media asset management (MAM) and
workflow demands of production environments. The combined solution
provides a highly flexible and scalable approach to complex media
production challenges, automatically and seamlessly moving data
between storage media to match the most appropriate and
cost-effective storage tier with the workflow stage. The
certification extends Quantum and Dalet's successful 10-year
partnership, which began with the integration of the
StorNext® shared file system and data management with
Dalet software and has enabled hundreds of media organizations to
maximize the value of their assets through better creation,
management and distribution of their content.

Scale-out NAS for Demanding Media Workflows
Powered by
StorNext, the Xcellis Scale-out NAS appliance unites robust media
and metadata management with industry-leading performance and
unmatched scalability to support content creators' most-demanding
workflows and ease the transition to IP-based infrastructure.
Xcellis systems boost productivity in collaborative media
environments by integrating the most important components of
workflow storage into a single, easy-to-manage hardware
solution.
An Xcellis cluster can scale performance and capacity together
or independently to reach hundreds of petabytes in capacity and
more than a terabyte per second in performance. When deployed as
part of a multitier infrastructure — which can include object, tape
and cloud storage — Xcellis Scale-out NAS can cost as little as
1/10 that of an enterprise NAS-only solution with the same
capacity.
Improved MAM With Xcellis Scale-out NAS and Dalet
Galaxy
Dalet solutions streamline media operations, reduce
production costs and increase revenue opportunities by simplifying
the distribution of rich media assets across consumer platforms,
both interactive and traditional. The combination of Xcellis
Scale-out NAS and Dalet Galaxy significantly improves media
workflows:
- Source material, work in progress, and finished packages can be
shared and made instantly available on every desktop, or
remotely.
- Users can produce more stories and packages in less time with a
unique rights-managed workflow engine that enhances collaboration
and productivity.
- Metadata can be captured from every data source, generated
automatically and retained throughout the workflows, reducing
manual data entry and accelerating access to online or archived
material.
