Right data. Right place. Right cost. 

Data is growing faster and living longer. At the same time, AI is driving demand for massive datasets, while infrastructure constraints, rising costs and power requirements continue to increase.

Why Quantum

Quantum delivers end-to-end, tiered data infrastructure that moves data to the right storage at the right time, optimizing performance, cost and efficiency across the full lifecycle.

With more than 45 years of experience, we help organizations keep data secure, accessible and ready for what’s next.

Tiered storage across the data lifecycle

Not all data is the same. Some is accessed constantly, some occasionally, some rarely, yet all of it must stay protected and available. Quantum aligns each type with the right tier, delivering the best balance of price and performance across the lifecycle.

Optimised performance and efficiency

Keep critical data on fast, immutable tiers to meet SLAs and reduce downtime.

Lower, predictable costs

Tier less-critical data to object storage or tape, avoiding cloud egress fees and expensive arrays.

Scalable, cost-effective capacity

Extend on-prem capacity without disruptive upgrades, delivering immediate CAPEX savings.

Build a Forever Archive

For data that must be kept for decades, Quantum ActiveScale combines massively scalable object storage with an integrated tape-based cold storage tier. A single namespace, automated tiering and open, S3 Glacier-compatible access keep long-term data durable, low-cost and free from vendor lock-in, with up to 19 nines of durability.

Low-cost cold storage & air-gapped protection

Physically air-gapping data remains one of the most effective ways to defend against ransomware. Quantum’s tape-based solutions provide a secure, offline layer of protection that is immune to network-based attacks while remaining highly economical at scale.

Quantum Scalar® Tape Libraries deliver intelligent, secure long-term storage for archiving, compliance, and cyber-recovery. Designed to start small and scale seamlessly, Scalar libraries grow with your data while offering capacity-on-demand licensing to align costs with actual usage.
