Xcellis(TM) Workflow Storage Optimized for Game Development, VR and VFX
Powered by StorNext, the entertainment industry's leading video workflow storage platform, Quantum's Xcellis workflow storage unites the power of a high-speed SAN and the ubiquity of Ethernet NAS in a single collaborative shared-storage environment ideal for game development, VR and VFX work. Built from the ground up to enable flexible capacity and performance expansion, Quantum storage can be tuned to support business growth and the demands of working with higher-resolution formats. Facilities can start with a small configuration, beginning production at a lower cost, and then increase performance and/or capacity as needed, simply by adding more controllers and spindles. Render farm scalability adds further agility. As the demands of various projects ebb and surge, Xcellis users can economically decrease or increase render servers, connecting either via Ethernet with NFS/SMB or with the StorNext Distributed LAN client (DLC). In the conforming phase of projects, media can be moved -- within the same namespace -- to a secondary fiber-connected playout volume that ensures high-speed playout while limiting traffic on the LAN connections being used to complete the project or begin a new one.
