Quantum delivers end-to-end data management solutions designed for the AI era.  From high-performance ingest that powers AI applications and demanding data-intensive workloads, to massive, durable data lakes to fuel AI models, Quantum delivers the most comprehensive and cost-efficient solutions. Leading organizations in life sciences, government, media and entertainment, research, and industrial technology trust Quantum with their most valuable asset – their data. Quantum is listed on Nasdaq (QMCO). For more information visit www.quantum.com.

High performance computing and scientific research generate huge volumes of data – mostly unstructured files and objects that must be processed quickly, then preserved and protected for many years and even decades. Applications like AI model training, machine learning, deep learning, and other forms of data analytics are accelerating data growth; many organizations are dealing with billions of files and exabytes of capacity. This challenge is compounded because data must be moved, managed and protected across its lifecycle, often using different storage and cloud platforms for different stages in the data pipeline.

Quantum is helping many organizations in the HPC, AI and life sciences markets, to build and manage private clouds using a unique architecture designed to reduce costs, improve cost predictability, strengthen cybersecurity and reduce emissions.

Join us to learn more about how Quantum customers are leveraging our end-to-end data platform to accelerate AI pipelines, simplify data management, and cost-effectively archive and access inactive data for decades.

CatDV: The Best MAM Ever for Avid Editors?

There are so many burning questions for anyone responsible for building an efficient, performant storage workflow for creative and production teams. Like 'How do I provide enough performance for demanding, and growing teams? When content is locked and handed off, now what - how can I protect it economically yet retrieve it quickly when they need ’that shot from last season’? 

As they say, the road to ‘production hell’ is paved with good intentions - picking something cheap or ‘good enough’ now can become a nightmare later as the team grows, or you land an ambitious project where you want to show your best work. 

In this session, we’ll cover some of the pitfalls of many ‘cheap enough or good enough’ solutions, and show you a path to a system that delivers exactly the mix of performance, protection, and budget you need to help your organization grow, and limit the number of sleepless nights you spend worrying about your storage including:

- Hot: where does Flash fit in my workflow, when do I need it versus a ‘really nice to have?’ Can I get the same performance with HDD based systems? How do they compare?
- Cold: is Cloud a good choice to store archived projects and assets? Is ‘object storage’ on-site better and why? When should I consider on-site object storage instead of public cloud?

Running Hot & Cold: Building Efficient, Performant Storage Workflows for Growth

This rise of AI, deep learning, and modern demanding workflows has changed storage and infrastructure requirements. Organizations must have powerful solutions that can fuel demanding AI and data science workloads (hot data) on the front end, integrated with low-cost, secure private clouds to archive the massive amounts of data (cold data) to train these models on the back end—all while keeping data protected and secure. 

Data continually flows along the hot-to-cold continuum, and the infrastructure supporting this lifecycle must be flexible, automated, and simple to manage to keep up with the ever-changing nature of this data. 

Learn how AI is evolving the landscape of storage and infrastructure requirements, and the considerations for storing and managing hot and cold data to fuel AI initiatives.

Hot-to-Cold Data Management: Infrastructure Requirements in the Age of AI

In today's world, it is crucial that your unstructured data is not only stored securely and reliably, but is also always available when and where it is needed – in a cost-effective and energy-efficient way. 

From high-performance storage for “hot” data to backup appliances and object storage for data protection through to long-term archiving of “cold” inactive data - in this talk, we will present practical solutions for comprehensive data management across the entire lifecycle.

Our topics:
* Overcoming known challenges such as data growth, increasing complexity and budget restrictions
* Additional requirements driven by sustainability, AI applications, cyber threats and much more
* The “Data Factory” - from rapid data ingestion to long-term, cost-effective and secure data storage

Data is a company's most important asset. An effective and reliable retention strategy is essential. The requirements include immutability, easy access and simple data management - at the lowest possible cost. 

With the right combination of modern hardware and software resources, not only can these requirements be met, but also corporate ESG (environmental, social and governance) standards.

In this webinar, you will learn: 

- How the right long-term data retention strategy can help close the gap between data growth and infrastructure budgets and meet security and compliance requirements
- How the combination of object storage and robust tape storage is not only environmentally friendly but also eases the burden on the IT budget
- How to maintain sovereignty and control over data while utilising cloud archiving services  
- How to reduce data storage costs by around 80% and CO2 emissions by up to 95% by migrating inactive data
- How existing solutions can be easily integrated into the new cold storage infrastructure thanks to the flexible design of S3 APIs

The Ideal Storage Combination for Inactive Data

With continued data growth, the increasing value of data, and the constant threat of ransomware, organizations must be forever vigilant and adhere to backup and recovery best practices that include multiple data copies and offsite protection. Quantum DXi® appliances may be deployed across edge sites, central data centers, and the public cloud, acting as a co-operating set of resources to protect data wherever it lives. Join us to discuss the key technologies required to build a simple, cost-effective data protection fabric across both your in-house infrastructure and cloud-resident resources. Learn how to protect your data—and your business operations-- from harm. We will discuss how:

End-to-End Data Protection Across Edge, Core, and Cloud

Given the huge amounts of data that need to be stored, companies are utilising resources in both the public and private cloud - depending on their budget, the frequency of data access and their data protection requirements.
 
As technology and regulatory requirements evolve, organisations have to constantly reassess their data management strategies to stay ahead of the curve. As a result, they are increasingly looking to create flexible, hybrid cloud workflows that can be customised to their individual needs and goals.
 
In this talk, we will show you how to develop and implement an optimal hybrid cloud strategy, ensuring your unstructured data is always in the right place at the right time and saving storage and energy costs in the process. 
 
The topics include: 
• Assessing what data needs to be where
• Optimising data migration and repatriation to and from public and private clouds
• Increasing storage savings in a multi-cloud environment
• Configuring your hybrid cloud to meet your needs now and in the future 
• Strengthening security and compliance and gaining visibility into your data 
• Reducing CO2 emissions and power consumption by 80%

More flexibility, security and data sovereignty with the hybrid cloud

Today, virtual production has come of age and the industry is now able to take advantage of the savings, flexibility and visual advances that the technology presents.

All the elements that go into virtual production  are advancing rapidly, from displays to lenses, cameras and graphics. Along with displays, the other main driver for making virtual production work is data, which is crucial in such media processes as asset creation, motion capture, real-time rendering, camera tracking and performance capture.

In a recent survey of the film and TV industry, 40% of respondents said they are using virtual production on current projects and half said they are likely to do so in the next 18 to 24 months.

Simply put, without advances in displays and data, virtual production would be impossible. In this EcoCast, we’ll explore how broadcasters can use these advances to streamline virtual production to save time and money.
