In early-access testing, cloud-native
solution demonstrates high performance, ease of use
SAN
JOSE, Calif., Nov. 29,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Quantum Corporation (NASDAQ:
QMCO), the leader in solutions for video and unstructured data,
announces that Quantum Myriad™, an all-flash, scale-out file and
object storage software platform for the enterprise, is now
generally available for purchase. First released to early-access
customers in April of this year, Myriad has demonstrated in testing
that it delivers deployment flexibility and consistent high
performance for data intensive workloads. This is in large part due
to its modern cloud-native architecture that makes it an
easy-to-use solution that overcomes the limitations of
hardware-centric designs and enables customers to adapt to future
storage needs while reducing the burden on over-extended IT
staff.
Eikon Therapeutics, a life sciences company which advances
breakthrough therapeutics through the purposeful integration of
engineering and science, is now a customer that evaluated Myriad on
their informatics and omics research workloads. For these
compute-intensive needs, they require an all-flash solution that
has low latency and consistent high performance. Myriad
consistently exceeded their requirements.
"Eikon Therapeutics has a record of embracing and steering
technology to tackle the largest and most important challenges as
we pioneer leaps in efficiency for drug discovery by tracking
individual proteins in live cells. As we pursue this goal we
constantly evaluate and advise our peer companies and researchers
on architecture design and performance. We were excited to be an
early-access customer of Myriad to see if it would meet our
demanding performance requirements for our informatics and omics
pipelines," said John Leonardini,
principal storage engineer for Eikon. "Myriad offered up an
extremely performant system with many of the enterprise features we
must have for these workflows, delivered with a very polished
interface and next-gen integration with our information lifecycle
strategy. Most compelling for us is that Myriad delivered these
results on a small system of only five NVMe storage nodes, with
readily available NVMe storage modules and servers – no custom
hardware required – and can easily scale as needed."
Myriad features a distributed architecture designed for the
latest flash technologies to deliver consistent low-latency
performance at any scale. It introduces inline data services such
as deduplication and compression, snapshots and clones, and
metadata tagging to accelerate AI/ML data processing. And it uses
familiar and proven cloud technologies, like microservices and
Kubernetes®, to deliver cloud simplicity wherever deployed. The
software operates on standard high-volume flash storage servers so
IT teams can quickly adopt the latest hardware and storage
infrastructure for future needs. With Myriad, enterprises can
replace legacy disk-based storage systems with a software-defined,
all-flash platform that provides faster performance, greater scale,
and a more sustainable and green solution that is both power and
real estate efficient. The new solution has already received
multiple industry accolades including the CRN Best Tech Innovators
and NAB New Product of the Year awards.
"Myriad is a modern, future-forward architecture that we
designed to be simple, powerful, and intelligent. But to prove its
real-world applicability we engaged key industry leaders to
evaluate and confirm our design and implementation," said
Brian Pawlowski, chief development
officer for Quantum. "It's been invaluable to have Eikon give us
their input and expertise and to verify that Myriad is the best
choice for the needs of high-performance workloads like life
science, data science, and AI/ML."
Myriad expands Quantum's portfolio of solutions for unstructured
data and is ideally suited for emerging high-growth use cases that
require more performance and more scale, including AI and machine
learning, modern data lakes, VFX and animation, and other
high-bandwidth and high IOPs applications. For more information,
