Quantum StorNext QXS-5600

Quantum Corp. introduced the StorNext QXS-5600, a high-capacity, high-density disk array that provides cost-effective storage for customers managing an increasing number of large files containing high-resolution video, images or other rich content.

Part of StorNext solutions portfolio, the QXS-5600 is ideal work-in-process storage for applications, including 4K and 8K video production and post-production, geospatial imaging, video surveillance, and seismic research and analysis.

Dense disk storage for demanding workloads and environments
Like other StorNext Q-Series disk offerings, the QXS-5600 is purpose-built for data-intensive environments, delivering enterprise performance, redundancy, availability and manageability. In addition, this dense product provides up to 336TB of raw capacity in a 4U rack (other configuration options are 168TB and 224TB). With as much as twice the storage capacity per rack unit of smaller disk arrays, the QXS-5600 reduces the space, power and cooling required to support high-performance applications. On a dollar-per-terabyte basis, it is Quantum’s lowest-priced disk storage product

With its density and price-performance, the QXS-5600 is well-suited for nearline work-in-process storage, where having content close by and quickly accessible for re-monetization or other re-purposing is essential. It also is tailor-made for non-real-time workflow operations where high-density storage provides productivity benefits.

Dave Frederick, senior director, product marketing, Quantum,said: “The QXS-5600 storage array fills out the Quantum Q-Series disk portfolio perfectly, offering the market high storage capacity in the smallest possible space, as well as significant cost savings and powerful performance. As organizations continue to struggle with changing workflows and new demands for leveraging their digital content, they will find that this storage solution provides the right balance of capacity and availability at a very attractive price point – all backed by Quantum.“
