SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov. 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Quantum Corp.
(NASDAQ: QMCO) today unveiled a major expansion of its
solutions portfolio to help customers classify, manage and protect
video and unstructured data across its lifecycle. Addressing
the need to manage data end to end – on premise or in the cloud
– is another key step in Quantum's strategy to be the leading
provider of management and storage services for unstructured
data.
The expanded portfolio includes:
- Quantum ATFS – a new file-based storage
platform with integrated data classification enabling new ways
to visualize, automate, and purposefully place data in the right
place, at the right time.
- Quantum StorNext® 7 File System
– the latest version of Quantum's high-performance file
system, now with new ways to automate data placement on NVMe for
high-throughput, low latency workloads.
- Quantum ActiveScale™ Object Storage
– Quantum expands its ActiveScale line with a smaller capacity
three node object storage system, along with new features such as
object lock to protect critical data.
These new solutions will be introduced prior to Quantum's
VirtualQ I Transform events, Nov. 17
and 19, and will be available via a software subscription
license based on capacity, demonstrating Quantum's commitment to
delivering unstructured data solutions with purchasing and
deployment options that align to organizations' needs.
Helping Customers Unlock the Business Value of Unstructured
Data
Accelerated data growth, lack of visibility and control over
data, and more data movement are contributing to organizations'
challenges of managing unstructured data sprawl and harnessing the
value that is in this unstructured data. Advancements in
artificial intelligence and analytics are driving new lifecycle
requirements, including the need to ensure data accessibility for
decades and beyond, and protecting against data loss, disaster and
cyber attacks. By managing data across its lifecycle, Quantum
is empowering customers to navigate the new data landscape and
manage data and storage for greater productivity and efficiency.

with the ability to easily search and access it for future
analysis."
