Quantum's Business Segments

Quantum is a data company with a portfolio of products and services for storing, managing, protecting, archiving, and enriching digital data. We specialize in solutions for video data, images, and other large files because this 'unstructured' data represents more than 80% of all data being created, according to leading industry analyst firms. This unstructured data has driven a fundamental shift in the nature of data and the role data plays in every industry. It is exponentially larger than traditional corporate data, contains immense value, and must be captured, protected, and stored for many years, decades, and longer.

Our portfolio of products and services now includes:

Asset Management and Workflow Orchestration Software to index, analyze, enrich video and image data.
Primary Storage Systems for high-speed data ingest and capture ' optimized for video and images with the fastest streaming performance, and highly available and resilient designs.
Secondary Storage Systems for large scale data storage, data and cyber protection, active and deep archives.
A Broad Portfolio of Services including 24x7x365 support services, deployment and consulting services, education services, and Quantum-as-a-Service. Our services are delivered with a combination of expertise and technology, including the MyQuantum Service Delivery Platform, and Cloud-Based Analytics (CBA) AIOps software for proactive remote monitoring.
CatDV Asset Management Platform and Workflow Orchestration Software
CatDV is an agile asset management and workflow orchestration platform that provides powerful asset management, automation, and collaboration tools for any organization that manages large volumes of digital media. The software application indexes and catalogs video files, digital images, audio files, and other types of files. CatDV helps organizations browse their content and streamline their workflows. CatDV can be used with StorNext file storage, with ActiveScale object storage, as well as third party storage.
StorNext High-Performance File System Software
At the core of our high-performance shared storage product line is our StorNext software that enables high-speed ingest, editing, processing and management of digital video and image datasets. Major broadcasters and studios, post-production companies including streaming services, sports franchises, and corporations around the world use StorNext.
StorNext software is both a shared file system and data management platform. StorNext provides fast streaming performance and data access, a shared file storage environment for macOS, Microsoft Windows, and Linux workstations, and intelligent data management to protect data across its lifecycle.
StorNext is sold as software based on a subscription licensing model, runs on standard servers, and is sold with storage arrays that are used within the StorNext environment.
These storage arrays include:
Quantum F-Series: A line of ultra-fast, highly available non-volatile memory express ("NVMe") storage servers for editing, rendering, and processing of video content and other large unstructured datasets.
Quantum H-Series: A line of high-performance storage arrays, offered with either hard disk drives ("HDDs"), solid state drives ("SSDs"), or some combination of the two.
Quantum QXS-Series: A line of high performance storage arrays, offered with either HDD, SSD, or some combination of the two. Customers are now deploying our StorNext file system with a combination of NVMe storage and more traditional SSD and HDD storage to balance cost and performance.
Our StorNext software can also manage data across different types, or pools, of storage, such as public cloud object stores and disk-based object storage systems. StorNext supports a broad range of both private and public object stores to meet customer needs. For customers that archive video and image data for years, StorNext is also integrated with our tape storage, and can assign infrequently used but important data to tape to create a large-scale active archive.
Solutions for Video Surveillance Recording and Retention
We offer a broad portfolio of products designed for the capture and analysis of video surveillance and security. These products include network video recording servers, as well as hyper-converged storage systems for video surveillance management and recording. In addition, we offer appliances designed for video surveillance analytics and to run different types of access control systems.
Quantum ActiveScale' Object Storage
With the acquisition of the ActiveScale object storage business from Western Digital that was completed in March of 2020, we now offer leading object storage systems for massive-scale, online content repositories such as media archives, genome sequencing data repositories, and big data lakes.
ActiveScale object storage provides high levels of data durability and facilitates the management of many petabytes and billions of objects. ActiveScale object storage software is sold via a subscription licensing model, stores data in object format and uses patented erasure-encoding software to protect data across storage nodes and across multiple geographic sites.
DXi Backup Appliances
DXi backup appliances provide high-performance, scalable storage for backup and multi-site disaster recovery. Advanced deduplication technology maximizes data reduction, replication enables multi-site protection and data recovery, and a high-efficiency design enables customers to maximize backup performance while minimizing data center footprint.
Scalar' Tape Storage
Scalar tape storage systems are low-cost, long-term data storage used by large cloud providers and leading enterprises to archive and preserve digital content for decades. The product line scales from entry-level libraries for small backup environments up to massive petabyte and even exabyte scale archive libraries.
Our tape systems provide storage density, offline secure storage to protect against ransomware and malware, and an intelligent, advanced diagnostics engine designed to reduce downtime and operational expense relative to other tape systems. Our tape systems are used by thousands of enterprises around the world as well as by large cloud service providers.
