Keeping up with the rapid growth of unstructured file data, while maintaining fast access to those business critical digital assets, is a monumental challenge for many organizations today. Consequently, you may feel forced to choose between the shared-storage simplicity of NAS and the high performance scalability of SAN. With Quantum StorNext® data management software, you get the best of both worlds. Quantum StorNext delivers scalable, high-performance file sharing across Linux, Mac, Unix, and Windows operating systems and cost-effectively manages, archives, and protects enterprise storage environments. The release of StorNext 4.0 builds on this established technology with features such as Replication, Nearline Deduplication, Distributed Data Movers, Partial File Retrieval, and streamlined Management Console.

StorNext Environment

StorNext shared SAN file system

The StorNext shared SAN file system accelerates business operations by storing information rapidly, then sharing it simultaneously across heterogeneous platforms, including Linux, Windows, UNIX, and MAC OS operating systems. Combining high speed data sharing with cost effective data management and archiving, StorNext helps customers build an infrastructure for consolidating resources so that workflow operations run faster and maintaining business assets costs less. And because data sharing and retention are combined in a single solution, there is no need to cobble together multiple products that only deliver a part of the desired functionality and may not integrate easily.
