Powered by our StorNext® shared storage and data management platform, the multi-protocol, multi-client Xcellis Scale-out NAS system unites robust media and metadata management with industry-leading performance — three times better than that of competing NAS systems — and unmatched scalability to support content creators’ most demanding collaborative workflows and ease their transition to an IP-based infrastructure.

To meet this challenge, content creators have traditionally utilized high-throughput SAN solutions because NAS offerings were unable to provide adequate performance.

Our new Xcellis Scale-out NAS stands alone in its ability to deliver the uncompromising performance and scalability previously available only in a SAN to all-IP workflows at an affordable price. Plus, Quantum makes it possible for users to configure an Xcellis solution with both scale-out SAN and NAS for maximum flexibility.

Xcellis Scale-out NAS brings a host of benefits to high-performance media workflows, including:

  • Increased productivity in all-IP environments
  • Cost-effective scaling of performance and capacity
  • Lifecycle, location and cost management
  • Integrated artificial intelligence

Xcellis Scale-out NAS will be generally available this month with entry configurations and those leveraging tiering starting under $100 per terabyte (raw).
