Originally deployed primarily by governmental agencies and companies performing large-scale data collection for purposes such as intelligence and oil and gas exploration, StorNext has been broadly adopted in recent years across the Media and Entertainment industry as it shifted to a digital-dominated creation process. StorNext's leadership in this market is evident in the customer base it has built, which includes the following:
-- The world's largest broadcaster; -- All four major U.S. television broadcast networks; -- Three of the top four American cable networks; -- Two of the top three global movie studios; and -- Leading post-production, video editing and digital content producers.
"Quantum's StorNext(r) File System plays a significant role in enhancing our broadcast workflows and reducing complexity," said Luca Cattaneo, systems engineer for Mediaset, Italy's largest commercial broadcaster. "It acts as a hub for our content storage, with acquisition, ingest, editing and playout all taking place transparently, but via a consolidated storage environment. StorNext Storage Manager has enabled us to take our integrated digital archive to the next level of performance and broadcast quality. We can replay live events quickly, confident that the data is residing on a highly resilient, cost-effective, hierarchical storage platform."
The StorNext(R) File System enables companies to share projects and files easily and cost-efficiently by giving applications running on UNIX, Linux, Windows and Mac OS concurrent access to a common file store. It's also highly scalable, allows data sharing by both SAN- and LAN-based hosts and incorporates Quantum's patented deduplication technology. StorNext Storage Manager provides automated movement of data between different storage tiers based on user-defined policies and file access requirements and can support millions of files. In addition, because it integrates with the virtualization capabilities of the StorNext File System, Storage Manager makes files accessible to host applications regardless of where they are stored.
Over the last year, StorNext's capabilities and customer benefits have enabled Quantum to further extend its reach into new markets, most notably Life Sciences.
"Just as the growth in high definition and 3-D content has increased demand for StorNext in Media and Entertainment, data-intensive research has created new opportunities in areas such as genome sequencing," said Janae Lee, senior vice president of Marketing at Quantum. "Customers in this space are looking for high-performance solutions that enable them to share and manage huge amounts of data while minimizing IT infrastructure and support costs so that they can make the most of their research budgets -- exactly the type of challenge StorNext has been addressing in other industries for many years."
