Major Video Surveillance Integrator in China Becomes Quantum Reseller and Strategic Alliance Partner

SAN JOSE, Calif., May 2, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Quantum Corp. (NYSE: QTM) today announced that Zhejiang Uniview Technologies Co. Ltd., one of the top three video surveillance system integrators in China, has agreed to become a Quantum value-added reseller and strategic alliance partner. Uniview offers a comprehensive line of IP video surveillance products ― including IP cameras, network video recorders, encoders, decoders, storage and client software and applications ― covering such vertical markets as retail, building, education and municipal government. Uniview will now sell Quantum's full range of scale-out tiered storage products, enabling customers to manage the transformation in surveillance technology and the massive growth in surveillance data more efficiently and cost-effectively.

China: Largest Market for Video Surveillance Enterprise Storage by 2018
According to industry research firm IHS Markit, the market for enterprise storage used in security and video surveillance in China is projected to increase at a 26 percent compound annual growth rate between 2014 and 2019. At this rate, IHS Markit expects China to overtake the United States as the largest market in the world for this type of storage by 2018.*

Quantum Multi-Tier Storage: Solving the Video Surveillance Data Dilemma
Video surveillance is undergoing rapid change, with the accelerated adoption of high-definition cameras, longer retention times for video-based data and the implementation of sophisticated new analytical tools. Storage costs can force customers to compromise in one or more of
these areas.

Powered by the company's award-winning StorNext^® software, Quantum's highly scalable, multi-tier storage solutions leverage disk, tape and the cloud to provide an optimal balance of cost, performance and accessibility for video surveillance workflows. Data can be kept on- or off-premise, including in public, private or hybrid cloud architectures, based on customer preferences. Quantum's data management tools keep data easily accessible across storage media, with the simplicity of searching a C: drive, enabling users to get information when needed regardless of the storage tier where it resides. This economical tiered approach to storage also allows customers to retain surveillance data longer, leaving more budget available to spend on cameras, analytics and other tools in their video surveillance environment.
