Leading file system for video post-production
and streaming applications now deploys in minutes on AWS, enabling
simple remote access for collaborative video editing in the
cloud
SAN
JOSE, Calif., Sept. 8,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Quantum® Corporation (NASDAQ:
QMCO), the leader in solutions for video and unstructured data,
today announced the immediate availability of Quantum's StorNext™
file system as a subscription offering in AWS Marketplace, a
digital catalog with thousands of software listings from
independent software vendors that makes it easy to find, test, buy,
and deploy software that runs on Amazon Web Services (AWS). AWS
Marketplace is one of the fastest ways to deploy StorNext shared
storage and lets users connect from any location to edit video in
the cloud as a team. Users can speed up post-production workflows
by accessing data and collaborating remotely, eliminating the need
to copy or transfer files between users.
"Today's announcement builds on the work Quantum and AWS have
done to support customers in accelerating their journey to the
cloud. This is the first time Quantum software is available for
license and deployment on public cloud infrastructure, making it
faster than ever to deploy and use StorNext," says Nick Elvester, general manager Primary Storage,
Quantum. "Now our customers can quickly establish a shared storage
environment in the cloud for creative users and easily move data
between their on-premises and cloud StorNext environments to
respond to new production demands."
StorNext is offered in a subscription model through AWS
Marketplace without the need for hardware infrastructure buildout,
custom configuration, or client software installation. This
represents another step in Quantum's cloud strategy to meet
customers' needs for agile production storage content operations
which now includes StorNext, ActiveScale™ object storage systems
supporting AWS Outposts, and Quantum's leading position in
providing cold storage infrastructure to some of the world's
largest hyperscalers.
StorNext in AWS Marketplace Availability
StorNext in AWS Marketplace is available in a choice of
subscription periods in four configurations, starting at a complete
StorNext environment of 12 terabytes (TB) of capacity. Each
deployment can supplement existing StorNext installations in a
hybrid model or as a fully cloud-based model to respond to emerging
needs and requirements from customers and partners.
Each StorNext solution features a complete StorNext shared
storage environment and includes:
- StorNext file system deployments in a choice of configurations
from 12TB to 62.5TB, with pre-configured, ready-to-use StorNext
services to manage and monitor clients, storage volumes, and data
movement services such as Quantum FlexSync™ and FlexTier™.
- A range of subscription plans from monthly to multiple-year
contracts to accommodate customer OPEX budgets. Usage-based
consumption models count toward customer negotiated AWS Enterprise
Discount Program (EDP) purchase commitments.
- Availability as a private offer from authorized Quantum and AWS
Consulting Partners like Integrated Media Technologies and
ThunderCat for custom pricing and other services.
- Efficient support of Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3)
for bulk data storage, along with Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud
(Amazon EC2) and Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS).
- Easy connection via SMB with no client software installation or
configuration required.
- Optional Quantum Distributed LAN Client (DLC) available at no
additional cost to give a native platform file-system experience on
macOS, Windows, and Linux clients.
- Optional tiering of data and content from StorNext volumes to
Amazon S3, Amazon S3 Glacier, or other AWS storage services.
"We have long been a trusted architect of StorNext workflows on
physical and converged appliances. Now, as an AWS Consulting
Partner we have a range of deployment options to offer StorNext
environments on AWS to help customers respond to and plan for any
data workflow, analysis, or protection need," said Nic Perez, chief technology officer for cloud at
ThunderCat Technology.
"AWS Marketplace helps customers innovate faster and procure
solutions more easily," said Mona
Chadha, director AWS Marketplace and ISV Alliances. "Having
Quantum's StorNext in AWS Marketplace will allow customers to build
highly agile data and content workflows on AWS, addressing critical
business needs and accelerating time to market."
Quantum's StorNext in AWS Marketplace is available immediately,
and will be on display at IBC 2022 in Amsterdam, September
9-12 in Stand 7.C39. Customers also can purchase
professional services offerings bundled with StorNext in AWS
