The new StorNext M445 SSD leverages flash technology to maximise the benefits of StorNext 5, the company’s completely re-architected solution optimised to deliver the greatest level of performance and reliability in modern workflow environments. The StorNext M445 SSD significantly raises the performance bar with a 7x boost in metadata operations. A second new metadata appliance, the StorNext M660XL, offers greater capacity and scale with support for up to 5 billion files, 100 percent compatibility with Apple Xsan, and fully integrated scale-out IP connectivity for Windows and Linux workstations.

In addition to introducing the two new metadata appliances, Quantum also announced that StorNext 5 is now available to existing StorNext appliance users, enabling greater efficiencies in their media workflows. StorNext 5 provides optimised support for IP, NAS, SAN and cloud-based networks, up to 10x higher performance, native object storage and LTFS support, and 5x greater scale. Along with unparalleled speed and flexibility, StorNext 5 also enables seamless access and cost-effective management of shared content in a 100 percent digital, end-to-end workflow.

StorNext 5 appliances are designed with modern digital workflows in mind. Because it serves as the underlying platform for extremely fast sharing and moving content from ingest to archive and back, StorNext 5 is highly optimised to provide the flexibility, scale and performance required for the unique characteristics of video and other types of unstructured content in varying file sizes.
