Deluxe Media Europe turns to Quantum StorNext storage for end-to-end archive management


(Cision Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) London, UK — 12 September 2014 — Quantum Corp. today announced that London-based Deluxe Media Europe has deployed an integrated Quantum StorNext® storage solution and StorNext AEL6000 tape archive for storing and managing over five petabytes of media content. The Quantum solution enables efficient access and preservation of the ever-growing library of media assets Deluxe Media holds for its range of prestigious media and broadcast clients. The new installation offers Deluxe Media the flexibility, cost efficiency and control to service broadcasters and other content owners’ increasing requirements for video-on-demand (VOD) and for monetising content.



Deluxe Media is using tiered storage managed via StorNext to write a high level of content daily — around 4 TB — onto a Scalar AEL6000 archive. The new deployment will enable Deluxe Media to seamlessly prepare feature films and broadcast media for delivery as file packages to third-party broadcasters and VOD platforms.

To handle this sophisticated file-based workflow, Deluxe Media leverages DL3, its global digital media asset management system, which seamlessly integrates with StorNext to drive its workflow and archive capabilities. All the details about the content and the data itself can be accessed and retrieved for any asset stored in London by any of the Deluxe Media facilities on DL3 around the world — and vice versa.


“We have a lot of film clients and a lot of broadcast clients, so we have around four or five petabytes of archive storage at our London facility alone,” said Dick Grun, senior systems engineer, Deluxe Media Europe. “It’s clearly impractical to store it on disk, but with Quantum StorNext on the back end, it’s actually pretty easy to parcel the content off into what seems to be an infinite store.

“Clearly we’re dealing with demanding content workflows, but StorNext’s seamless integration with our state-of-the-art DL3 system gives us high -performance file sharing, tiered storage and archive to increase flexibility and greatly enhance our end-to-end archive and workflow management.” “StorNext storage solutions were designed to provide users with a more efficient and cost-effective storage platform, while ensuring the ability to deliver, manage and preserve owned content for future re -monetisation,” said Gabriel Chaher, vice president, EMEA sales and marketing, Quantum. “With StorNext, Deluxe Media provides a seamless tiered solution with high-speed content movement, leaving its customers free to effectively focus on growing their business.” Additional resources · Learn more about StorNext: www.stornext.com · Participate in the StorNext Community Forum: http://stornextforum.com · Follow the latest StorNext happenings on Twitter: www.twitter.com/stornext · Join the StorNext conversation on Facebook: www.facebook.com/stornext · Watch Quantum StorNext on YouTube: www.youtube.com/quantumcorp Contact details Joanna Clark [email protected] 44 (0)20 7403 8878 www.rlyl.com About Deluxe Deluxe Entertainment Services Group Inc. is a global leader in media and entertainment services across film, video and online content from capture to consumption.
