Quantum®? Corporation announced ActiveScale®? Z200 all-flash object storage to help customers accelerate mission-critical AI pipelines and massive data workflows.

This new solution extends Quantum's all-flash leadership beyond Quantum Myriad?? and StorNext?? file system solutions to address S3-native use cases that require rapid data ingest, high-performance analysis, fast data retrieval, and long-term data preservation for compliance, AI models and unstructured data management.

The ActiveScale Z200 appliance expands the award-winning ActiveScale portfolio to now include an all-flash option that delivers powerful new levels of throughput and transactional performance at any scale, from terabytes to exabytes. With the ActiveScale Z200, customers gain more agility and speed to build massive data lakes and storage clouds, ingest and prep raw data sets, optimize and run AI pipelines and other data-intensive workflows, and cost-effectively preserve and protect massive data sets. Fueling AI pipelines and data-intensive workflows: Quantum ActiveScale is a simple, reliable scale-out object storage platform built for always available access and massive scale, efficiently storing and protecting billions of objects with durability.

The all-flash ActiveScale Z200 delivers up to five times greater throughput (gigabytes per second) and up to nine times more transactions (objects per second) over traditional hard drive object storage solutions, dramatically expanding the applicability of ActiveScale to performance-oriented workloads including high-throughput dataest, AI data preparation, training and inferencing, NoSQL databases, and content streaming. The ActiveScale Z200 enables high-performance analysis of object data sets at any scale to help customers achieve faster insight, discovery, and innovation. ActiveScale Z200 with cold storage: The ideal archive storage tier: ActiveScale is the industry?s only object storage platform architected for both active and cold data, making it uniquely suited for building massive data lakes, storage clouds, and long-term archives at up to 80% lower cost than alternative solutions.

The ActiveScale Z200?s high throughput makes it particularly well suited for ingesting data into these large data stores, and with its unique ability to process and densely store metadata in flash for hundreds of billions of objects in the cold storage tier, the Z200 reduces overall footprint and cost. With fast and easy access through standard S3 Glacier interfaces, objects are easily restored in bulk within minutes for additional analysis, model recalibration, and re-monetization.
