SAN JOSE, Calif., April 8, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Quantum Corp.
(NYSE: QTM) today announced that it will be highlighting its new
Artico™ intelligent NAS archive appliance at the 2015 NAB Show in
Las Vegas, April 13-16 (booth #SL8416). Artico offers
broadcast and postproduction facilities using scale-out NAS systems
a flexible, low-cost entry point for establishing media archives —
outside of StorNext® environments — that can scale to
hold petabytes of content across Quantum's Lattus™ extended online,
Scalar® tape and Q-Cloud™ Archive storage. Powered by
Quantum's StorNext 5 software and providing a simple NAS
presentation, Artico incorporates StorNext Storage Manager™
policies to put the right content in the right place at the right
time for maximizing storage efficiency and reducing total costs.
When used in combination with any StorNext-qualified media asset
management (MAM) system, Artico can move files seamlessly from
online storage to longer-term archive with no user intervention,
while maintaining full access to the files.

Maximizing Workflow Efficiency and Reducing Storage
Costs
In today's media facilities, critical file-based
workflows — including video production, animation, rendering and
creative graphics — depend on sharing content across a variety of
storage systems and media. As these workflows evolve and the
quantity of large files stored on disparate storage systems grows,
these facilities can rely on Artico to provide transparent,
scalable and efficient archiving of all media content and assets.
As a result, users can confidently offload large files from
expensive NAS systems and reduce overall storage costs, including
those related to space, power and cooling.
Delivering Proven StorNext Media Management
StorNext
Storage Manager has been deployed broadly by media facilities
around the world with great success. Artico incorporates this
proven technology to streamline operations, improve use of existing
capacity and simplify expansion of media storage to accommodate
changing business and operational demands. Additional
Artico-StorNext Storage Manager benefits include:
- NAS connectivity for easy deployment and integration into
broadcast and postproduction environments.
- An optimal balance of media access and storage TCO through
intelligent, policy-driven file movement across LTO tape, LTFS,
object storage and cloud archive systems.
- Long-term protection of content, including through the ability
to create multiple archive copies and with support for multiple
archive systems.
- Automatic integration with StorNext-qualified MAM systems,
enabling users to store, share and preserve media files
seamlessly.
