SAN JOSE, Calif., Sept. 18, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Quantum Corp. (OTCPK: QMCO) today announced that the F-Series NVMe storage arrays received two industry awards during the IBC2019 Show in Amsterdam. The F-Series garnered Best of Show from TVB Europe and received the CSI Award 2019 for Best Data Storage Solution.

The Quantum F-Series – Designed for High-Definition Content
Making its European debut at IBC2019, the Quantum F-Series is a high-performance, highly available and reliable storage array designed for studio editing, rendering, and other performance-intensive workloads for large unstructured data sets. Unlike other NVMe storage arrays, the F-Series was designed specifically for video and video-like data sets, so it can easily handle the performance requirements of ultra-high-def content, high-resolution images, and other forms of unstructured data. The Quantum F-Series provides enough performance in a single 2U chassis to reliably edit in real-time 8K 60FPS content without dropping frames. 

Incorporating Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) networking technology, the F-Series provides direct access between workstations and the NVMe storage devices, delivering predictable, fast network performance. By combining these hardware features with the new Quantum Cloud Storage Platform - a software defined block storage stack tuned specifically for video and video-like data - and the StorNext® file system, the F-Series delivers end-to-end storage capabilities for post-production houses, broadcasters, and other rich media environments.
