All-flash file and object software delivers
hot-to-cold data solution in tandem with Quantum
ActiveScale
SAN
JOSE, Calif., Feb. 13,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Quantum Corporation
(NASDAQ: QMCO) announces that XENON Systems, a leading
high-performance computing and complex data storage specialist, has
purchased Quantum Myriad™, an all-flash, scale-out file and object
storage software platform. XENON will offer Myriad to their
customers with demanding data-intensive workloads that require high
speed infrastructure for artificial intelligence (AI) models and
multi-variant simulations across life sciences, medical research,
engineering, and other high-performance computing use cases. XENON
already sells Quantum ActiveScale™ object storage to their
customers who are generating massive data sets and need to build a
secure, low-cost private storage cloud that allows rapid and secure
access to their growing research and data sets. Now, with Myriad
and ActiveScale, XENON customers can uniquely achieve comprehensive
end-to-end data management, unifying different classes of storage -
from their hottest data to their coldest data - all from a single
vendor.
XENON builds solutions to solve complex parallel compute
problems and large-scale data management workflows, across both
on-premises and cloud infrastructure, with a large portion of their
customer base in the life sciences, research, and high-performance
computing industries. These customers are expanding the use of AI
models to enhance and accelerate their work, and require an
ultra-fast, powerful solution that can fuel these demanding
workloads and graphics processing units (GPU).
XENON recognized Myriad's innovative architecture designed to
deliver blazing fast performance at any scale using the latest
flash technologies. It introduces inline data services such as
deduplication and compression, snapshots and clones, and metadata
tagging to accelerate AI/machine learning (ML) data processing. And
it uses familiar and proven cloud technologies, like microservices
and Kubernetes®, to deliver cloud simplicity wherever
deployed, no custom hardware required. XENON plans to showcase the
Myriad system they purchased at upcoming tradeshows and to use it
to demo the solution's capabilities to prospective customers.
AI workloads and GPUs require two things: hyper-speed processing
on the front end, and long-term protection of the data they
generate. This data needs to be retained for years, allowing for
future analysis and insight as methodologies improve. XENON
recognized the value of offering Myriad along with ActiveScale to
address this challenge.
"Myriad features a modern architecture that can support the AI
models and simulations our life sciences customers are running
continually," says Dragan Dimitrovici, XENON CEO. "The fact that
Quantum has comprehensive end-to-end solutions for the entire
lifecycle of data—Myriad for the most challenging AI production
workloads and ActiveScale for building active and cold data stores
at petabyte to exabyte scale—makes their offerings especially
valuable to our customers."
"XENON has been a key Quantum partner for many years, offering a
wide range of our solutions, now including Myriad, ideal for life
sciences and medical research, which is the customer base XENON
serves. Because these use cases rely on AI to enhance and speed
their work, Myriad offers the perfect solution," says Nick Elvester, general manager, primary storage
for Quantum. "With ActiveScale and Mryiad, these customers are also
getting a complete end-to-end, 'hot to cold' solution for their
data."
XENON along with Quantum will be displaying Myriad at the
Supercomputing Asia Show 2024 in Sydney,
Australia (February 19-22) in
booth 19. For more information about Myriad, ActiveScale, and
