In addition to introducing the two new metadata appliances, Quantum also announced that StorNext 5 is now available to existing StorNext appliance users, enabling greater efficiencies in their media workflows. StorNext 5 provides optimised support for IP, NAS, SAN and cloud-based networks, up to 10x higher performance, native object storage and LTFS support, and 5x greater scale. Along with unparalleled speed and flexibility, StorNext 5 also enables seamless access and cost-effective management of shared content in a 100 percent digital, end-to-end workflow.
StorNext 5 appliances are designed with modern digital workflows in mind. Because it serves as the underlying platform for extremely fast sharing and moving content from ingest to archive and back, StorNext 5 is highly optimised to provide the flexibility, scale and performance required for the unique characteristics of video and other types of unstructured content in varying file sizes.
