[{"type":"text","content":"New Quantum F1000 Delivers Lower-Priced NVMe Entry Point with Best-in-Class Price-Performance\n\n\nSAN JOSE, Calif., Jan. 14, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Quantum Corp. (OTCPK: QMCO) today announced a new, lower-priced addition to the award-winning Quantum® F-Series family of NVMe storage appliances, the F1000. Leveraging software defined architecture introduced with the F2000, the F1000 exemplifies Quantum's commitment to an accelerated pace of product innovation, offering ultra-fast streaming performance and response times at a lower entry price. The F-Series is used by major studios, corporations, and government agencies to accelerate the capture, edit, and finishing of high-definition content, and speeds VFX and CGI render performance by 10x-100x, to develop cutting edge augmented and virtual reality.\n\n \n \n\n \n[Click to tweet: New ultra-fast @QuantumCorp F1000 storage appliance raises the bar for #NVMe price/performance http://bit.ly/2khzTsu] \nNVMe Tuned for Video and Image-Based Workloads Unlike more general purpose NVMe storage arrays, the Quantum F-Series was designed specifically for the video and image-based workloads that are critical to customers. This content can be high-definition video used for movie, TV, and sports production, marketing and advertising content, or image-based workloads that require high speed processing, such as the data from a satellite feed, a drone, a car used in the development of new automated driver assistance systems (ADAS), and more. \nQuantum's customers are deploying F-Series NVMe systems as part of Quantum's StorNext® scale-out file storage cluster and leveraging the StorNext data management capabilities to move data between NVMe storage pools and other storage pools. Customers can take advantage of the performance boost NVMe provides for workloads that require it, while continuing to use lower-cost storage for data where performance is less critical. \nThe Benefits of F-Series NVMe, at a Lower Price Quantum customers are recognizing the benefits of F-Series NVMe appliances, not only to accelerate the workloads above, but to move from fiber channel networks to less expensive IP-based networks. However, many customers have voiced the need for a less expensive entry point into NVMe technology, which is what led to the development of the Quantum F1000.\nThe F1000 is a 1U NVMe storage server ...
