Avid and Quantum Create Flexible New Archive Storage Options Optimized for Avid Environments



Quantum Logo (PRNewsFoto/Quantum Corp.)SAN JOSE, Calif.April 12, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Quantum Corp. (NYSE: QTM) today announced that Avid® has developed a connector for the company's Interplay® | MAM system and Quantum's StorNext Storage Manager™ that enables seamless integration of Quantum archive storage systems into Avid environments.

Tight Integration Enhances Long-Term Storage Options
The Avid connector for StorNext Storage Manager gives users the ability to access and control StorNext® archive and restore functions through Interplay | MAM, including automated movement of content across different archive storage tiers: Quantum's Lattus® object storage, tape libraries and Q-Cloud® services. Integrated into various business processes within Interplay | MAM, this solution provides more intelligent, long-term content management, faster access to a nearline archive tier via standard network protocols and better protection of Avid projects with an archive strategy.

Collaboration Provides Greater Value to Customers
In addition to developing a solution that enables tight integration of Avid Interplay | MAM with Quantum archive solutions, Avid also has joined the Quantum Advantage Program™. This program provides a platform for partners to test and qualify their technology with Quantum offerings and provide integrated, best-in-class solutions that deliver enhanced value to customers' workflows.

Quantum will be showcasing the new Avid archive solutions at Avid Connect 2016, April 16-17, in Las Vegas, and in the Quantum booth (SL8416) at the 2016 NAB Show, April 18-21, in Las Vegas.
