NOA Audio Solutions Partners with Quantum For mediARC

NOA Audio Solutions has partnered with Quantum Corp. to integrate a wide range of Quantum’s storage products within NOA’s mediARC archiving solutions.

To store large amounts of lossless compressed video data with multiple copies across several sites, NOA now integrates Quantum systems into a comprehensive tiered storage management infrastructure that can meet the demands of any broadcast archiving operation. Depending on the size of the project, storage for mediARC installations can be configured with StorNext metadata appliances, StorNext AEL Archives tape libraries and StorNext Q-series storage systems from Quantum.
