The ActiveScale product line adds object storage software and erasure coding technology to Quantum\u2019s portfolio, giving the company the ability to expand its product offerings in the object storage market. Object storage has become a potent response to the exponential growth of video and other forms of unstructured data. This content requires high-speed capture and processing and then is typically retained for years or decades. Unstructured data such as this includes video and images for entertainment, marketing and training, and surveillance and security. Before this acquisition, Quantum has delivered and supported the ActiveScale object storage product line for over five years.<\/span><\/p>\n

In a press statement, President and CEO of Quantum, Jamie Lerner said, \u201cthe strategic acquisition of ActiveScale bolsters our existing product portfolio and expands our addressable market providing critical software capabilities that enhance our go to market strategy with minimal risk to Quantum. With engineers who developed ActiveScale\u2019s erasure-coded object storage now on our team, we are in a position to pursue new object solutions truly optimized for managing video and other unstructured data.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
