Quantum Corp. (NYSE:QTM), the leading global specialist in backup, recovery and archive, today announced that Autodesk, a world leader in 2D and 3D design software, is using Quantum’s StorNext® data management software with its suite of media and entertainment systems products.[1] The use of StorNext with Autodesk products provides a scalable solution that can enable digital artists to generate high-quality content more quickly.

From standard definition and HD for television to 4K for digital cinema masters, customers worldwide choose Autodesk tools to create and deliver content loaded with unparalleled visual effects, finishing, color grading and animation. Generating a final product requires applications to have rapid, low-latency access to content. StorNext adds value by creating a consolidated storage pool that applications can access over highly scalable, low-latency data paths. This enables rapid open, create and write operations.

While high-performance content delivery is a key benefit of StorNext, its data sharing capability reduces the overall time required to create, finalise and distribute content. For customers that need to retain finished products cost-effectively, StorNext offers an optional data movement component that transparently moves and protects content on lower-cost tiers of storage.

"In rich media, content is seldom generated on a single operating system, storage device or application," said Mark Devins, director of Digital Media and Broadcast for Quantum. "StorNext automatically moves data between different storage resources, extending its speed, heterogeneity and data-sharing benefits across all the systems involved in generating a final cut. This further helps customers create content faster and store, protect and re-use it more cost efficiently."
