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

Collaboration Yields Extensive Cost and Efficiency Benefits in  Managing and Protecting Avid Stored Content

Quantum Corp 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.
