NVMe All-Flash Appliance
As customers deal with more and more UHD content, emerging storage technologies like NVMe are intended to help customers dramatically improve performance while simplifying their infrastructure.  Quantum's new NVME all-flash appliances combine 100% NVMe storage media with a new software defined block storage architecture and StorNext, which is expected to deliver ultra high-performance storage capabilities for the most demanding environments in media today.

Showcasing StorNext 6.2 Advancements
StorNext 6.2 bolsters performance for high resolution video while enhancing integration with cloud-based workflows and global collaborative environments. With StorNext 6.2 Quantum offers an S3 interface to Xcellis appliances, enabling them to serve as targets for applications designed to write to RESTful interfaces. In addition, enhanced FlexSync® replication capabilities enable users to create local or remote replicas of multi-tier file system content and metadata, offering more flexibility to protect a single directory or an entire file system.

New Xcellis Models with More Efficient Network Capabilities for Greater Productivity
From leading post-houses to cutting-edge autonomous vehicle engineering firms, organizations are turning to the latest networking technologies to attain the most cost-effective storage solutions.  The new Xcellis models offer the latest 100 Gb Ethernet and 32 Gb Fibre Channel connectivity options, enabling customers to utilize the latest generation networking infrastructure between their clients and storage arrays, thereby accelerating workflows and improving productivity.  Combined with StorNext's comprehensive and coordinated file accessibility over NAS, SAN, and DLC architectures, the new Xcellis platform offers industry-leading architectural flexibility.
