Quantum supports VFX and animation with Myriad at NAB 2023

Myriad, a scalable flash file and object storage software platform, is the big news with which Quantum is presented this year in NAB 2023.

Quantum has decided to appeal to the present and future needs of the most demanding visual effects and animation with Myriad, a solution based on an entirely new storage architecture designed for the latest flash technologies for consistent low-latency performance at any scale.

The development, the firm's last major release pre-NAB 2023, introduces online data services such as deduplication and compression, snapshots and clones, and metadata tagging to accelerate AI/ML data processing; and use Known and proven cloud technologies, like microservices and Kubernetes, to deliver cloud simplicity wherever it is deployed.

The software works on high-volume standard flash storage servers, so IT teams can quickly adopt the latest hardware and storage infrastructure for future needs.

Other notable features of the solution are its self-healing and self-balancing software for in-service upgrades that automatically rebuilds and repairs data in the background, while rebalancing data as the storage cluster scales up, down, and changes; the Automated discovery, deployment, and configuration of storage nodes within a cluster so that it can be expanded, modified or reduced in a non-disruptive way, without user intervention; the automated management of networks of the internal RDMA structure, or the online data deduplication and compression to reduce the cost of flash storage and improve data efficiency compared to legacy storage platforms.

The list of Quantum Myriad features is completed with a important commitment to security, he online metadata tagging to speed up data processing, and real-time monitoring of system health.
