Quantum StorNext FlexTier for Public Cloud

Legacy storage systems are under assault. The challenges of unabated data growth, geographically distributed workgroups, shorter deadlines, and more ingest and delivery options are causing organizations to re-evaluate their storage environment and workflows. From broadcasters and post-production facilities to genomics research and video surveillance companies, the demands of improving productivity and driving greater efficiency can be overwhelming. This all must be done with the highest level of data security and content integrity. In order to accomplish these goals, many companies are considering using cloud services delivered from a number of providers - some are dedicated cloud providers, and others offer the service as a component of their larger business.

Cloud providers have storage you can use, but how you access it is left up to you. This can mean adding time-consuming manual processes - or even worse, costly code development to automate transfers. Some storage providers offer the cloud as a destination without much regard for the overhead involved in getting there. Quantum has taken a different approach to cloud access. Quantum believes that storage should seamlessly integrate into your applications and workflow instead of acting like a separate process. With cloud access built directly into StorNext data management software, you can use your existing cloud services to enhance your storage environment without changing your processes, modifying your applications, traversing gateways, or installing extra software. StorNext users not only enjoy the industry's leading storage management software with intelligent policy-based tiering built in, but also the ability to tier to the cloud whenever the need arises. FlexTier provides easy and cost-effective on-demand access to cloud storage for increased flexibility, protection, and availability. Fully integrated into StorNext, FlexTier extends intelligent policy-based tiering into the cloud. And FlexTier provides seamless integration, acting as a cloud gateway with nothing to install, no hardware to set up, and no manual processes. You can go from capacity challenged to problem solved in minutes.
