Xcellis Scale-out NAS: Highest Performance and Scalability
for IP Workflows
Quantum's recent testing affirms that
Xcellis Scale-out NAS solutions outperform offerings from
enterprise-class NAS providers and NAS-focused startups for
4K, 8K
and 16K projects. In combination with
the solutions' unmatched scalability and robust media and metadata
management, this industry-leading performance makes Xcellis ideal
for supporting content creators' most demanding collaborative
workflows in IP-based environments. Reflecting the strength of
Xcellis Scale-out NAS, StudioDaily has named the solution as a
finalist for its Prime Awards, which represent "game-changing new
products, forward-thinking companies, and innovative people."
As part of its Xcellis Scale-out NAS performance demonstration
at NAB, Quantum will also show how it is leveraging the latest NVMe
flash technology in conjunction with StorNext's data sharing
capabilities to deliver intelligent and affordable management of
media content from ingest to archive.
Other Quantum NAB Highlights
At NAB booth #SL8511,
Quantum will showcase the high-performance power and efficiency of
its StorNext platform across the media lifecycle. In addition to
Xcellis Scale-out NAS, demonstrations will focus on:
- Collaborative Postproduction: Users can see Xcellis
Foundation, an entry-level storage system that delivers the
benefits of enterprise-class Xcellis storage — including high
performance and scalability — in an easy-to-deploy NAS appliance
for under $25,000. Xcellis Foundation
was designed for smaller production facilities that need the
benefits of a collaborative workflow but have limited budgets.
- Multitier Content Management: This demonstration centers
on StorNext 6, the latest, award-winning version of Quantum's
StorNext platform. StorNext 6 combines industry-leading performance
and advanced data management features, including FlexSync™
multi-site synchronization, FlexTier™ public and private cloud
access and FlexSpace™ shared archive.
- Intelligent Archive: In addition to showcasing tiering
across secondary disk, object, LTO tape and cloud storage, Quantum
will demonstrate the ability to seamlessly add automated indexing
and artificial intelligence so that users can extract hidden value
from their video and audio content. In addition, users will see how
Oracle DIVArchive content can be migrated to a StorNext-managed
environment.
