Solution to the problem of unstructured data growth
The growth of unstructured data is significantly outpacing storage budgets due to a variety of factors. Given the massive volume and speed of incoming data, traditional storage solutions are unable to handle the load.

Quantum StorNext® is a software platform and high-speed file system for collaborative storage that can cover various types of storage in a single namespace with integrated data lifecycle management. It is ideal for large video files, digital images, and other types of unstructured data. StorNext is used by large enterprises for storing, protecting, and archiving data.

StorNext enables these companies to accelerate their workflows, significantly reduce the time needed to obtain results, and eliminate the gap between data growth and budgets by managing data throughout its entire lifecycle.

StorNext solution


StorNext provides complete data lifecycle management from creation to archiving. As data moves between storage mediums, from NVMe or SSD to HDD, tape, or cloud, StorNext ensures continuous access. For performance-oriented applications, StorNext utilizes direct storage connectivity via iSER/RDMA or IB, delivering throughput up to 23 GB/s on a single stream. Storage media can be NVMe or SSD Flash for sub-millisecond latency.

Thousands of parallel streams are supported for maximum data ingestion and streaming. When data no longer requires high performance, it is automatically moved to lower-cost storage according to policy. If long-term storage is required, data can be copied or moved to supported Quantum LTO tapes, ActiveScale™ object storage on local infrastructure, or S3 in a public cloud. Data stored in object storage or S3 in the cloud is self-describing, which offers numerous benefits: the ability to use analytics applications directly with data in the cloud, simplification of collaboration between departments or organizations, and protection from infrastructure obsolescence or vendor lock-in.
