Quantum Corp. has announced plans to unveil two new highly scalable, long-term content preservation options for StorNext-based systems at the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) conference next month.
Â
Quantum’s Lattus-M disk archive incorporates object storage technology to serve as an active near line archive and enable rapid retrieval of content and assets for repurposing in a StorNext-managed environment. With Lattus-M as a new archive tier, content can automatically move between online primary disk, object storage and tape, including the StorNext AEL Archive.Â
Additionally, Quantum is introducing a new High Density (HD) module which will enable theÂ
StorNext AEL6000 Archive to provide policy-based tiering to an LTO archive with slot densities that are twice those offered by competitors. Quantum’s new Lattus-M and StorNext AEL6000 HD are built to provide scalable onsite and globally distributed content preservation choices for managing petabytes of video assets created and maintained by post-production facilities, broadcasters and other organizations where video plays a central role.
Â
Janae Stow Lee, Senior Vice-President, Filesystem and Archive, Quantum, said, “As digital content continues to grow and the length of time it must remain available increases, a new option for nearline archives is required that does not compromise reliability or manageability. We have listened to our customers and built Lattus-M to help them address long-term content preservation challenges and benefit from rapid asset retrieval by enabling them to more effectively repurpose and monetize their content.”
Â
Lattus-M will be generally available in May and StorNext AEL6000 Archive HD will be generally available next quarter.
