Quantum extends StorNext 5.3 with Advanced Data Management
Quantum Corp. has announced StorNext 5.3, the latest version of its industry-leading scale-out storage platform, providing a range of advanced data management capabilities optimized for demanding workflows. In addition to powering the company’s new Xcellis high-performance workflow storage solution, StorNext 5.3 also supports Quantum’s new Q-Cloud Vault service and incorporates end-to-end encryption for all Q-Cloud offerings, enabling StorNext users to take advantage of secure, low-cost public cloud storage for long-term retention and protection of digital assets.
Along with Quantum’s Artico NAS archive appliance, also powered by StorNext, these new solutions allow customers to deploy advanced, multi-tier storage architectures that combine on-premise, high-performance storage for the most performance-dependent tasks with off-premise, highly scalable storage for low-cost, long-term archive. StorNext ensures that assets reside in the storage tier that best matches the workflow requirement and maintains complete visibility and accessibility to all assets regardless of physical location.
Fully integrated as a tier within workflows powered by StorNext, Q-Cloud Vault provides low-cost, Quantum-managed “cold storage” in the public cloud. Q-Cloud Vault incorporates Amazon Glacier storage for lower-cost, long-term data storage and is a complement to Quantum’s Q-Cloud Archive service, which leverages Amazon S3 as a storage tier for more active archive data.
In addition to powering the new Xcellis and Q-Cloud Vault storage solutions, StorNext 5.3 also gives users of any StorNext-based deployment new options for managing data, including Alternate Store Location, a highly configurable feature that facilitates the automatic copying of files to multiple sites or storage tiers, including on ingest of the data.
StorNext 5.3 also provides full support for the latest generation of LTO tape systems and devices (LTO-7).
