SAN JOSE, Calif., Dec. 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Quantum Corp.
(NYSE: QTM) today announced that its Xcellis® Foundation
high-performance, entry-level workflow storage system has earned a
NewBay Product Innovation Award. Winners are selected by a panel of
professional users based on evaluation criteria that include
innovation of concept and design, creative use of technology, price
value, and suitability for use in a broadcast
TV/professional video or broadcast/online radio
environment.
Xcellis Foundation was designed to address the technical and
budgetary requirements of small- to medium-sized postproduction
facilities and corporate video departments. Based on Quantum's
industry-leading StorNext® shared file system and data
management platform, the new system delivers the benefits of
enterprise-class Xcellis storage, including high performance and

Providing a more powerful, more feature-rich alternative to
other entry-level storage systems at a similar price point, Xcellis
Foundation is ideal for smaller video production facilities that
need the benefits of a shared workflow but have limited budgets to
spend on shared storage. With the latest-generation StorNext 6
software at its core, the 3U Xcellis Foundation offers the
following benefits:
- the industry's fastest streaming file system, providing the
performance essential to working with higher video resolutions,
including 1080p and 4K, without
introducing complexity or unnecessary cost to the workflow;
- cost-effective IP connectivity over standard NAS protocols with
no per-seat licensing;
- advanced data management capabilities that optimize performance
and maximize capacity across different storage tiers while assuring
that content is always in the right place at the right time;
- seamless integration into a multitier storage infrastructure
that includes flash, disk, nearline object storage, public cloud
and tape archive;
- the ability to scale up and scale out — from 48 TB, 72 TB or 96
TB — through readily extended capacity, connectivity and
redundancy; and
- simple installation and setup via a web-based GUI.
