SAN JOSE, CA — (Marketwired) — 08/15/13 — Quantum Corp. (NYSE: QTM), a proven global expert in and data protection, today introduced its new Lattus Demo Lab for customers to experience a full-scale, cloud-based testing environment. Located inside state-of-the art SUPERNAP data centers and available for use now, the Lattus Demo Lab enables rigorous proof of concept (POC) testing at the facility, either onsite
or virtually.
The Quantum Lattus family includes Lattus-X, a high-performance NAS-based object storage offering, and Lattus-M, an object storage solution which seamlessly integrates into StorNext® environments and leverages StorNext Storage Manager-s policy-based tiering. Lattus object storage enables nearline access to archived data across global locations in a highly scalable and cost-effective disk-based solution that never requires a “forklift” upgrade — a forever disk archive. With a private cloud-ready foundation today and public cloud integration in the future, Lattus offers much greater durability than traditional RAID offerings, including true self-healing and self-protection capabilities, and enables automatic multi-site protection without the need
for replication.
At the Switch SUPERNAP, Lattus-X capabilities are accessed using a downloadable virtual Lattus A10 gateway node, while Lattus-M is accessed with a StorNext M440/660 metadata appliance in existing StorNext environments or from a downloadable StorNext virtual metadata controller. Both Lattus-X and Lattus-M test environments allow access from any Internet-capable device using HTTP REST.
Preconfigured for most evaluation use cases, the Lattus Demo Lab offers potential object storage customers an opportunity to test Lattus and experience all that object storage can deliver without having to invest their own installation resources or make onsite changes. Using a Quantum-provided access account, customers can see how Lattus-M can be used as a storage policy tier in a customer-defined workflow that could also include the cloud. In addition, the Lattus Demo Lab offers the chance to access a hybrid cloud archive and determine if there are integration opportunities with an HTTP REST interface. Because Lattus-M leverages StorNext file system technology to access object storage, customers can also test StorNext-s performance and see how it fits into an application workflow.
Customers and partners seeking more information about the Lattus Demo Lab can contact Quantum directly.
